Xinjiang, officially known as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is located in northwest China. It is the largest provincial-level administrative region in the country, covering approximately 1.66 million square kilometers, which accounts for about one sixth of China’s total land area. Xinjiang shares bodies with eight countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Mongolia, India, and Afghanistan, making it a crucial region for China’s access to the West.

The region is known for its diverse ethnic groups, including the Uygur, Han, Kazakh, Hui, and others who coexist harmoniously. This cultural diversity is reflected in Xinjiang’s rich traditions, languages, and religions, which include Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity.

Xinjiang’s landscape is incredibly varied, featuring vast deserts like the Taklamakan, majestic mountain ranges such as the Tianshan and Kunlun, and fertile basins like the Tarim and Junggar. The region is also rich in natural resources, including oil, natural gas, and minerals, which play a significant role in China’s economy.

Xinjiang is generally divided into three main travel destinations, each featuring its unique scenery, history, culture, and even languages.
