Welcome to Turpan! | An Introduction to Uyghur Life in Western Xinjiang, China
Known as the Heart of Uyghur Culture, there's a reason why the tiny town of Turpan is so popular. Learn more about what to see and do in Turpan here:
Also, if you're going to be traveling to Xinjiang, don't forget to grab a copy of the FarWestChina Xinjiang travel guide, the only comprehensive guide to the entire region:
---------------------------------------------
Welcome to Turpan!
Located two hours southeast of the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi, the city of Turpan offers a beautiful view of the Uyghur culture, one of the reasons it's become such a popular place to visit.
The Uyghur people make up approximately 70% of the population and their history in the region goes back thousands of years.
Turpan used to be a stop along the ancient Silk Road and many of the best places to visit in the city, including the Jiaohe Ruins (交河故城) and Gaochang Ancient City (高昌故城), allow visitors to walk among historical remnants that date back as early as 100 B.C.
In addition to ancient cities, Turpan is also home to the Bezeklik Caves (柏孜克里克), once a treasure trove of Buddhist art, the Karez (坎儿井), a Uyghur irrigation system that is an engineering marvel, the Emin Minaret (苏公塔), the Flaming Mountains (火焰山), Grape Valley (葡萄沟) and much, much more.
But enough with the tourist stuff. In my opinion, what really makes Turpan awesome is the small town atmosphere that lets you experience Uyghur culture outside the confines of a big city.
The market, the street food and especially the night life are probably as memorable, if not more so, than the sites you see during the day.
Turpan is a city you won't forget and one that you won't regret visiting.

이슬람 양식의 거대한 건축물이 사람들을 압도한다. 국제 바자르는 우루무치 관광의 중심이기도 하다. 바자르 건물 앞으로 다가가자 노점의 풍성한 과일이 발길을 붙잡는다. 고온 건조한 신장은 세계적인 과일 산지로 손꼽히는 곳이다. “이거는 하미과예요.” “한 쪽에 얼마죠?“ “3위안 (약 500원) 이에요.” 관광지 앞이라 조금 비싸긴 해도 맛은 최고다. 실크로드의 3대 명과 중 하나라는 무화과와 주황색 돌기가 매혹적인 여주 열매가 눈길을 끈다. 잠시 일손을 놓고 과일 맛에 폭 빠져본다. 국제 바자르는 실크로드의 전통이 이어진 초대형 국제시장이다. 드넓은 시장 안은 신장의 특산품으로 가득 차있다. 양탄자도 신장의 대표 상품 중 하나다. “이거는 한 장에 7천위안 이에요. (약 120만원)” “손으로 직접 짠 거예요.“ 양탄자의 본산지답게 그림을 그린 듯 화려하고 정교한 양탄자들이 즐비하게 걸려있다. 일찍이 중국에서 전해진 비단도 천년 이상의 역사를 가진 신장의 특산품이다. 비단의 색감과 품질이 뛰어나다. 지역적 특색이 뚜렷한 각종 생활용품이 시선을 사로잡는다. 1500년 전 서역의 악기들은 중국을 거쳐 고구려에 까지 전해졌다. 실크로드를 통한 문화교류의 사절단 역할을 톡톡히 한 셈이다.

CHINA - THE SILK ROAD
dimitrastasinopoulou.com
The Silk Road is the world's oldest, and most historically important overland trade route. For over 2000 years, traders and merchants travelled the deserts of central Asia exchanging goods between the Chinese empire and the rest of the world. As a result, the oases of the desert sprang up into dynamic cities. A vast network of interconnected caravan routes that stretched for over 6,500 klm enabled the exchange of products and ideas between China and the rest of the world. The Silk Road began around 329 BCE, when Alexander the Great conquered the entire known world and promoted trade to the east and got its name from the lucrative Chinese silk trade along it. Though silk was certainly the major trade item from China, many other goods were traded, and various technologies, religions and philosophies. The great story of the Silk Road is that Buddhism travelled on it, from India.
The dry climate has preserved many ruins, while many ethnic groups make their home in this part of China. The Ancient Silk Road started at Xian and then it reached Dunhuang, where it divided into three, the Southern, Central and the Northern Route. The pictures in this video start in Xian and cover the northern route. Xian is one of the oldest cities of China with more than 3,100 years of history. It is home to the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. The terracotta warriors, is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210--209 BC and whose purpose was to protect him in his afterlife. Lanzhou is the next stop. 100km SE on the Yellow River, are the Bingling Temple Caves. The first begun around 420 CE at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. Work continued and more grottoes were added during the Wei, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Their inaccessibility spared them from destruction during the Cultural Revolution, while an 80-foot Buddha is carved into the cliff. Dunhuang is located between the Taklamakan desert and Gobi desert. Taklamakan is the world's second largest shifting sand desert after Sahara. The Mogao caves, also called Thousand Buddha caves (the first was carved in 366AD) have the best Buddhist murals in the world. In Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region, China's largest province with only 20 million inhabitants, we visit Turpan, Urumqi and Kashgar. Turpan's, Flaming Mountains, the hottest place in China, overshadow the cradle of the Turpan ancient civilization and oasis agriculture. Here we see the Gaochang city ruins, the former Uyghur capital (1st c BC) and the ancient Buddhist city of GaoHe Kerez (2nd c. BC). Urumqi is the capital of Xinjiang and once an important station on the Silk Road, famous for being a major city furthest from any ocean. Kashgar, or Kashi, is a city with a history of more than 2,000 years. It was historically considered as the gateway and hub for the transfer of goods from China to Central Asia and Europe along the ancient Silk Road. Kashgar preserves the most complete Uygur culture, art and architecture and is famous for its bazaar and animal market. Starting in Beijing, The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, to protect the Chinese Empire against the enemies, while its border controls allowed the imposition of duties of goods transported along the Silk Road. The entire wall with all its branches measure 21,000 klm. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC. Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China. The city's history dates back three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the political center of the country and is renowned for its palaces, temples, gardens, tombs, walls gates and art treasures.

Xinjiang Province (Documentary Vlog) | The Long Road Ep. 46
I finally made it to CHINA!!! Or did I?
After Kyrgyzstan I visited the Xinjiang Province. While traveling here, a question constantly popped up in my head. Is this China? That's why decided to make this video a little bit different.
If you find any mistakes in my little research let me know.
The Dead Animal Timecodes
From 02:11 - 02:14
And 04:05 - 04:18 (This is followed by footage from the life stock market until 04:59)
After crossing the border I first visited Kashgar, from there I headed to Urumqi from where I left for Tuerpan. Unfortunately I had to go to Shanghai, so I couldn't see as much of Xinjiang as I wanted to. But I also wasn't well prepared tbh...

The long Road (TlR) is a journey from Germany all the way to Nepal, through the middle east, following the old silk road, China and South-East Asia. The whole journey will be overland (no planes, UFOs or portals) and put together into short videos on this channel :)
