Has anyone been to Urumqi (Wulumuqi) in China? I'm thinking of going there in March / April and would be interested in advice on what to do, where to stay etc.
Take a day trip to Tian Chi (Heavenly Lake) and/or the desert oasis town, Turpan. Both are fantastic. In Urumqi be sure to spend time in the outdoor nightmarkets eating and mixing with the Han and Uyghur locals.
