I visited Xinjing last Month. Urumqi is a modern city today, quite advanced and similar to other big China cities. Suggest visiting Kuche and Kashi ,South Xinjing, and Tulufan of East Xinjing , if you want to know more about Uygur culture.

Asslamalikum Amir. The Uygure in China are chinese Uygure, so that they are chinese. Chinese Han are also chinese. Do not separate people groups in China. "The Uygure doesnt sound like Chinese" this phrase feels like from colonists, which wants to conquer and divide.

Followed you from your 1st day in China, and now you are finally in Xinjiang. Have a nice trip! ❤❤❤

[@ivyshy98]

I don't want to sound mean or anything, but you are trying to speak uyghur to people who look clearly chinese and then you try mandarin to folks who clearly look non-chinese - they were uyghur but keep in mind there are many other different minorities there like mongols, kazakhs, uzbeks, tajiks, hui, and a number of others. uyghurs are not even the majority there. one thing you have to understand is not all uyghurs are muslim and most are only moderate as seen with their wine culture. another thing is the han chinese were there over 2000 years ago mainly to protect trade routes. it was the silk road that brought islam and uyghurs to china almost a thousand years later. I'm not sure which chinese told you not to go to xinjiang because xinjiang is a big tourist destination for local chinese lol. it gets over 200 million tourists per year! ever since the government built up infrastructure including transportation hubs to make travel there easier, xinjiang's economy took off and locals including uyghur living standards along with it. it was a very poor, remote region 20+ years ago which you can still get an idea from neighboring countries today. poverty was one of the reasons why some turned to extremism and hence terrorism which is why you still see the legacy security there today. the chinese solution was invest in poverty alleviation with infrastructure, education and jobs. you know how certain other countries dealt with terrorism in contrast.

[@Banmuyuan]

The media in the West told people not to visit Xinjiang, not Chinese.

[@kapk]

Undermining the economy and hence security of the people is the whole reason for the anti-XJ narrative. Those who talk falsely about oppression are the ones who want XJ to fail.

[@xuanwang9376]

Not only han people are called Chinese, All the people who have PRC or RC passports are Chinese, including Uyghur Chinese, Mongo Chinese, Kazakh Chinese, etc. The language every Chinese can speak is called mandrain, and almost each region or ethic groups has their own languages in China.

Urumqi is a multicultural city of mostly Han Chinese. If you want to experience a more authentic Uyghur Chinese city, I highly recommend you visit Kashgar on your trip. It's a beautiful and idyllic city of Uyghur people and culture. It's probably the most popular tourist destination in Xinjiang!

[@howardcheung5809]

[@dragonfly02490]

80% of Urumqi population is Han Chinese. If you want to see Uyghurs majority, go to Kashgar. Basically, Han Chinese are the majority in northern Xinjiang, and Uyghurs are majority in southern Xinjiang.

[@HGTC927]

no！There are more Han people on the central axis of Xinjiang, but there are more Kazakhs in northern Xinjiang.

[@dragonfly02490]

@@HGTC927 Xinjiang has about permanent 44% Uyghurs and permanent 42% Han Chinese, but at anytime, Han Chinese are the majority because Xinjiang has only 25 million people living there, but there are millions of tourists(about 128 million tourists visiting Xinjiang in 2023), and almost all of them were Han Chinese from other provinces. The rest of other permanent residents are made up of other groups such as Kazakhs, Hui Chinese, Mongols, Tajiks, and other groups. Kazakhs made up of only about 6.7% of Xinjiang population. So, generally speaking, if you divide Xinjiang into half. The upper half is Han majority and bottom half is Uyghurs majority.

[@RachelHan-98]

It is difficult for foreigners to travel in southern Xinjiang, where some people speak Mandarin and English, and my boyfriend even had trouble finding suitable hotels

Xinjiang is the land of abundance as the economy n tourism trades are booming n will continue to be prosperous as it is also the major important hub of China global BRI linking China to central asia , russia to western europe via the eurasian road/rail corridor

[@xgguo3531]

8:17, the boss is asking his staff to take care of you in Chinese. not in English. It sounds a little bit like "get out" but not what he means.

[@kevw6371]

Lol, that guy was greeting with another guy, definitely was NOT saying 'get out', lol. Why would you think they speak English there? lol. Xinjiang not only has Uyghur people, the region is also the home to Han Chinese, Kazakhs, Tajiks, Kyrgyz, and many other ethic groups. If you wanna experience more traditional Uyghur culture, you can visit Kashgar in South Xinjiang, definitely worth visiting.

[@changhongdahei]

The majority of Urumuqi is Han people. Also most of the tourists are from other parts of China. Ugyhur people are mainly living at Kashgar and south part of Xinjiang.

[@rollingdownfalling]

Don't they have Didi there? why don't you order a taxi or a driver, so you don't have to negotiate since it's metered. That taxi looked illegal, it doesn't even accept Alipay.

[@ivyshy98]

it's not illegal, he just overpaid. if he said no and walk away, that guy would have called him back lol. there's probably a dozen other paid drivers there as usually the case around smaller train stations and airports.

[@rollingdownfalling]

@ivyshy98 In Yunnan province, their are even written signs about those so called 'black drivers' warning against travelers. Apparently Xinjiang just doesn't have that kind of warning signs, but that driver fits the profile pretty well, so it is illegal. If he is legal the cars usually have the taxi sign, he should be registered and accept other kinds of payments.

[@shanhuy]

There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and the Uyghurs are just one of them. They're all Chinese. A lot of minority ethnic groups have their own languages and writings. You can find any denomination of the Chinese yuan with Chinese characters, Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur and Zhuang characters on it. This is common sense in China and there's nothing special about it.

[@obiwan5781]
