Hi Chin,
I’m not really sure if Xinjiang cities will be crowded. When we visited it was a special time – there were very few tourists, but then the riots had just occurred and tourism was at an all time low. I suspect that Xinjiang will not be as crowded as other cities in Eastern China, but it is possible that there could be lots more people than at other times. Regardless, I think it is a really interesting place and a great choice to visit! Enjoy!

Hi GG!
thanks for the blog! I am thinking to go to Xinjiang during the golden week this year. Do you think it will be FULL, people jostling for limited spaces during this time of the year? Thanks for your kind advice.

Hi, Thanks for you post, I hope this post will help many foreigners to make their mind and feel safe to visit Xinjiang after the riot in July 2009.

As you mentioned in your post, many Chinese in mainland China have wrong perception about Xinjiang and Uyghur people. Many foreigners who works in mainland China told me before when they came to visit Xinjiang that they had same advice when they asked advice about traveling to Xinjiang from their Chinese colleague. I hope this will help many others to make their mind.
Cheers

It's been ages since my last drop-in, so hello! This post popped up in my RSS reader last week as I was riding the train to Keelung. I really enjoyed it and thought I'd stop in for some more travel tales this evening. I see you've had PLENTY since the last time I came around! .-= Carrie´s last blog ..Photo Moment: Slow Mover =-.

The shot is mine even thu GG told me 100 times “do not take pic of the military” I HAD TO!
May be is the rebellious in me, may be was the historian in me.
But if you thinking about going, DO GO! it was great!

I can’t wait to read the rest of your posts. This is a region we’ve been long interested in visiting, but the recent riots have scared us off a little.
