Xinjiang Roadtrip on the Stunning Highway 216
Josh goes off the beaten path in Xinjiang, China on his trip from Urumqi to Korla, exploring the gorgeous (but bumpy!) mountain pass. Read more:
If you're looking to travel to Xinjiang in the near future, check out Josh's best-selling travel guide to the region:
*****************************
There are a number of ways to get from Urumqi to Korla in China's Xinjiang region. You can fly, take a train...or drive. Over the past few years the government has invested heavily into infrastructure, building smooth highways that go around the TianShan mountains to make the trip between the two cities quick and easy.
Before this highway, however, drivers had to take the unpaved Highway 216 which climbs over the TianShan instead of around it. It's a shorter route but it takes longer. Thankfully, the scenery more than makes up for the trouble.
Watch as Josh takes us on a drive along scenic Highway 216, exploring gorgeous mountain views, glaciers and even wildlife on the road!

China's MOST UNDERRATED Fairyland in Xinjiang's Kazakh Prefecture | S2, EP43
In this video I have traveled deeper into Xinjiang to meet the Kazakh and Mongolian minorities. I met my friends again and we headed to Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. Kazakh People in Xinjiang still live a half nomadic lifestyle. They use horses quite a lot and move from the valleys to the mountains depending on the season. We met some very friendly Kazakh people whi let us sleep in their Yurts.
This season has perhaps the most beautiful landscape throughout the Unseen China Series, so get the Popcorn ready and join me on this beautiful landscape through central Xinjiang.

UNIQUENESS OF URUMQI | XINJIANG PROVINCE | THE SILK ROAD SERIES |UYGHUR CULTURE #EP3
Hi, and welcome back to Suresh Explorer. Thanks for your tremendous support for my previous video of the train to Urumqi from Xian. If you have not watched my previous videos of the Silk Road Series, I placed the links below the description box. If you are new to this channel, your kind gesture to press the subscribe button and sharing this video will be very much appreciated.
Today’s episode is about Uniqueness of Urumqi. A unique city which comes with a very colourful culture. Chinese culture blends with Islamic elements. Urumqi is the capital of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in the far northwest of the of China.[6] Ürümqi was a major hub on the Silk Road during China's Tang dynasty and developed its reputation as a leading cultural and commercial center during the Qing dynasty in the 19th century. Urumqi also quite famous for its claim that it is the most inland major city in the world, being the farthest from any ocean.
The city's three major ethnic groups are Han (majority ethnic group of China), Hui (Han people who are Muslim), and Uyghur (a Turkic ethnic group). Other ethnic groups in Urumqi include Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Turkic people. Regardless of ethnicity, most people in Urumqi can speak some level of Mandarin Chinese, however in some parts of the city Uyghur (Weger), a Turkic language, is dominant. Few people speak English, even in some of the large hotels.
Chinese Hui are Muslims in China, defined by religion, not by race. They are no different from the other Chinese except for their religion. There are about 23 million Muslims scattered all over China. Uighurs are an ethnic group in Xinjiang, also Muslims but speaking Uighur language which is Turkic in origin.
