Xinjiang

XINJIANG

The northwestern Chinese border region of Xinjiang, lauded variously as a land of song and dance, melons and fruits, precious stones, and carpets, is situated in the heart of the Eurasia Continent. The Uygur people make up half of the population of Xinjing, the largest province of China and home to 12 other ethnic peoples, including the Hans, Kazakhs, Huis and Kirgizs. The local folklore is rich and varied. Xinjiang was a key link on the Silk Road and a hub for east west cultural exchanges in ancient times. Xinjiang's fascinating scenery includes snowy mountains and lakes, glaciers and rivers, deserts and oases, gobi deserts and prairies, mirages, wind eroded landforms, and the Yadan topography. It is a nice place for those tourists who seek to get lost for a while in the embrace of nature.
