  • How safe is Urumqi in Xinjiang, China? We put this to the test by heading out into Urumqi to experience the nightlife in Xinjiang. We went to the city all alone without any local guides to experience the everyday life in Urumqi, China after dark. Is it really the most dangerous region in China or is it as safe as any other city?
    Join us on this nightlife adventure as we take you around Urumqi in Xinjiang, China.

      China government provide training classes for Locals in xinjing, and introducing jobs for them. Western media says: It is force labor. Because those people who donot have jobs, no money, they will create chaos in this regions. CPC provides free trainning, free accomodations and free food for every thing, then give them jobs. When those poor people have jobs, have money, then they will become more peaceful. For China CPC, if you want to get promotion, you must go very poor area to live with poor people in Xinjiang, it is called " one help one policy" You must have solution to imporve their living standard for the poor people. After one or 2 years at least, those poor people give you feedback. You never get promotion if you cannot finish the task.

      Over a decade ago Xinjiang was infiltrated by CIA funded terrorists who fatally attacked Xinjiang residents including Han and Uyghurs, since then the central government put in high security and Xinjiang has been safe ever since. The armor personnel vehicles seen frequently on the streets are there to prevent terrorists.

    Twenty years ago, terrorists attacked Urumqi. They tried to split Xinjiang. A lot of people died that year. Many people were studying, working, or even playing games in Internet cafes. Suddenly, thugs rushed in and started killing people indiscriminately. Then China strengthened the security management in Xinjiang, so you will encounter a lot of security checks to prevent people from bringing weapons to densely populated areas. There are more police cars than in other places. But over the years, everything has returned to calm. There have been no more terrorist attacks. On the contrary, the local economy has made great progress. The police arrested many terrorists, but many of them were supported by the West. They fled to the West, and then the West began to slander China for committing genocide. They have been slandering China for many years. Many Han people died in that massacre, and many Uyghurs in Urumqi also sacrificed their lives to protect their Han compatriots.

      That's right. Every Han Chinese student has to learn English, while ethnic minorities have their own schools where they learn their own language as well as Chinese. Of course minorities are also free to choose to attend Han schools. What's wrong with this as a basic education, after all, learning the official language as a citizen of a country helps all ethnic groups to communicate and learn from each other, and promotes social stability.

    I'm kind of surprised I've heard more english out of locals in your xinjiang videos than elsewhere in china 😅. if jewelry shops opened at 11pm in any major city in the usa, they wouldn't be in business the next day lol.
    from what I heard in other vlogs, the mosques are only open for prayers. I've seen some pakistan vloggers attend prayer in various mosques in china including xinjiang. I believe this policy was in response to the extremist activity before, and were determined to be organized in some some mosques.
    in case you didn't know, this is why facebook is banned in china, because attacks were organized on facebook and the company didn't want to hand over account information when the chinese government requested it. about this time is when china got very strict on internet and companies that didn't want to follow guidelines weren't allowed to operate. google and hence youtube had a choice but decided on principle to leave china because they didn't want any filters on their platforms. other companies like apple and microsoft(bing search) work fine without vpn since they follow the filter guidelines which mostly target adult content, violence, and what 'destabilizing' activities so make of that what you will. people can protest to the extent it doesn't cause a public disturbance. people have freedom of religion, but they can't impose their beliefs on others so preaching in public is not allowed. this might surprise you but there are close to 100 million christians in china. just don't be a public menace and you're fine.

      its normal for them to speak less mandarin as the older generation don't learn chinese until high school, so their chinese level is no better than their english level. it was only after complaint about difficulty of students getting into university that cause chinese to be taught at elementary level. so only the teens would be comfortable with speaking in mandarin.

      Facebook and Google are NOT banned in China! However China by law requires all social media companies to host Chinese user data ONLY on the Chinese soil. Google, which was operating in China actually, said no can't do cos US needs these data, and Facebook said no can't cos US needs these data too. So Google pulled out of China and Facebook just didn't bother! And since these companies can't comply with the Chinese user data law China blocks traffic to their sites.

Saw some foxes as well. Well, Hami provides a totally different landscape…barren ‘no-man’s land’ with terrain resembles Martian’s and Grand Canyon. There’s also a capsule hotel called ‘Mars Base’ in the middle of the barrenland, amazing sci-fi feel to it.

    I went there about 15 years ago. My brother and I ordered some kind of beef plate, we were served a whole leg! It took us more than 2 hours trying to eat that thing! It was delicious. Back then, the whole leg was 15 Yuan, about $2.
