Urumqi, Northwestern China. While China remains popular with tourists the Western region of the world's most populous country is rarely traveled. Despite a brilliant train network which stretches across the country, places like Urumqi, with its Islamic influence remain unknown. The same can be said for a Chinese entry in to Tibet (Versus the popular Nepal-side entry).

Xinjiang Urumqi Grand Bazaar on the Ancient Silk Road is a huge ethnic bazaar for thousands of years. The bazaar is very unique and combines cultures and has stalls selling an incredible selection of items.

The views are excellent from this 18th century Buddhist pagoda in Hongshan (Red Hill) Park at Urumqi, Xinjiang, China.
