Xinjiang [Northern Xinjiang Ten-Day Tour] Recommended Route.

Xinjiang, officially known as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has its capital in Urumqi. In 60 BC, the central government of the Western Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and Xinjiang officially became part of Chinese territory. The most famous feature of Xinjiang is the Tianshan Mountains, which stretch over 1,700 kilometers within China. The widest part from north to south reaches 800 kilometers, covering an area of 570,000 square kilometers, accounting for one-third of Xinjiang's total area. Many of Xinjiang's famous attractions are located within this range. The Tianshan Mountains divide Xinjiang into two parts: the Tarim Basin to the south of the Tianshan, known as Southern Xinjiang, and the Junggar Basin to the north of the Tianshan, known as Northern Xinjiang.
