Travel All The China East To West Urumqi Beijing Tour

Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwest China, is just like a piece of emerald embedded at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. With a population of two million gaily-dressed ethnic inhabitants, This graceful prairie city is an important stop along the ancient Silk Road, leading to the Central Asia and even as far as Europe.
Urumqi
The city lies in the lofty ice-capped Bogda Peak with vast Salt Lake to the east, the rolling pine-covered Southern hill to the south, and the alternating fields and sand dunes of Zunggar Basin to the northwest.
The temperature in the area widely ranges between day and night as it belongs to the semi-arid continental climate of middle temperate zone. The climate is extremely arid due to long period of sunlight and bare precipitation. It has shorter spring and autumn; and longer winter and summer. May to October is the golden season to visit it, when flowers are in full bloom and the fruits, like melons, are ripe with its fragrance. Here we should indicate that there are two hours time difference between Xinjiang and Beijing. The local working time is usually from 09:30 or 10:00. You had better not start your visit before 08:00 in the morning since it is still dark at that time.
