Urumqi Walking Tour | Uyghur Culture in Xinjiang's Capital (UPDATE: Now Destroyed)
NOTE: Unfortunately, this beautiful Uyghur alley in Urumqi has now been torn down, so this video stands as a record of what used to be. I hope you'll still enjoy.
Check out more details about what this old alley used to represent on the FarWestChina website:
Welcome to the first walking tour of Urumqi (乌鲁木齐), something that anybody who is traveling to Xinjiang will want to do. It starts at the ErDaoQiao market (二道桥) across the street from the Urumqi International Grand Bazaar (乌鲁木齐大把杂) and ends up near the Urumqi NanMen (南门).
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.

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...

A big thank you to everybody who let me awkwardly film them :)
Filmed handheld with the Panasonic G80/G81/G85 and the iPhone 6.
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 :)

Kashgar's NEW Old City | Charms & Controversy Surrounding Rebuilt History in Xinjiang, China
What the heck happened to Kashgar's ancient Old City? Was it torn down? Rebuilt? Left to ruin? Join me as I revisit this fascinating part of Silk Road history.

When I first visited Kashgar's Old City in 2008, the mud brick homes that had stood on that spot for centuries formed a labyrinth of alleyways that was fun to wander around.
Then, in 2009, the Chinese government deemed these homes unsafe and decided to tear them down and rebuild them completely, much to the horror of the international community.
They tore down everything except a small portion on the east side of the city.
Now, eight years later, I have decided to revisit this ancient Silk Road oasis and find out what has happened to this new Old City. Did they rebuild it well? How does it compare to the old Old City? What do the locals think?
Join me as I explore the back alleys of Kashgar's Old City, try a bit of Uyghur street food and even get a personal tour of an old Uighur home!

What are the best parts of the Uighur cuisine here in China's far western Xinjiang region? There are so many, but if I had to distill it down to a top 10 list, this is what I would say:
1) *Uyghur Polo or 抓饭*: this is an amazing rice pilaf that is common all over Central Asia but is a specialty of the Uyghur people here in Xinjiang.
2) *Laghman or 拉面*: a bowl of noodles - this is part of both the Uyghur cuisine and the Hui cuisine here - that has a concoction of meat and vegetables poured on top.
3) *Lamb Kebabs or 烤肉*: delicious lamb meat on a stick. Need I say more?
4) *Uyghur bread or 馕*: there are so many different kinds of Uyghur bread that you can find in Xinjiang, China. Try them all!
5) *Uyghur Ice Cream or 维吾尔冰淇凌*: It's ice cream with a Uyghur twist :)
6) *Samsa or 烤包子*: I think of this like a Uyghur Hot Pocket. It's a baked snack that is filled with lamb meat and onions.
7) *DaPanJi or 大盘鸡*: This literally translates to Big Plate Chicken and it's...well...a big plate of chicken! :)
8) *Stuffed Lamb Intestine*: Don't knock it until you try it!
9) *Matang or 麻糖*: a specialty Uyghur street snack that is a chewy
mixture of nuts and seeds.
10) *Xinjiang fruits*: Xinjiang produces more fruits than any other part of China and there's always something fresh to buy on the street.

Explainer: Why Xinjiang is so important to China
Subscribe to our YouTube channel here:
The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is one of the most tightly controlled areas in China. Human rights activists accuse the Chinese government of carrying out a full scale crackdown on ethnic Uygurs and other Muslim minorities who live in the region, sending up to 1 million to political re-education camps. But authorities say the sweeping security measures are to fight terrorist threats to keep the country safe.

CHINESE ADVENTURES - Xinjiang Province - Urumqi & Turpan
My husband and I spent 12 days in Urumqi with a couple of day trips over to Turpan in October 2018. We arrived when the weather was 17 degrees and left when it was 1! Xinjiang is a place constantly in the news currently for lots of reasons and tourists are advised not to go. But we wanted to make our our minds up. We are so glad we did. We got to see the the good as well as some of the bad and the ugly. Here it is.
Also: we now have a blog on our visit too:
Please excuse some of the strange cuts - some editing software trouble. Hopefully it still makes sense.
