Xinjiang is officially called Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, which is located in the northwest of China. Spanning over 1.6 million km2 (640,000 square miles), it is the largest province level division in this country, bordering Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Xinjiang is home to many ethnic groups including the Uyghur, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tibetans, Hui, Tajiks, Mongols, and Russians, etc.

In history, Xinjiang was a key link on the Silk Road and a hub for east-west cultural exchanges. Travelers go there to see the historical heritage and distinctive ethnic lifestyles. Right here you will discover the ruins of abandoned cities along the Silk Road near Turpan, authentic Uyghur way of life in Kashgar, the amazing sceneries of snow-capped mountains and emerald-colored Heavenly Lake as well as the nomadic tribes living on the mountainous steppe. The camel riding in the desert near Hotan is a unique travel experience.
