I lived in China 6 years and have been to Urumuqi 3 times. This is the best video that I have seen from an individual to date. Great job and thanks. I hope to see more from you.

Great video dude, you caught a lot of the atmosphere of Urumqi. It looks a lot colder then when I was there in November :) Uyghur people are lovely and I hope I get to go back sometime.

Great video! It's like experiencing the bittersweet radiance and contentment of a glorious sunset. Han Chinese modernity engulfing the fading shimmer of a Uyghur world. Let's just hope it happens without a Wounded Knee.

ha! thanks for the compliment. I'm American, but my family is from Honduras

uyghur qerindeshlirim ,allahu teala sizlerge azat qilsin ey ana makan senge selam bolsin...

these are areas south of Nan Men - around Er Dao Qiao neighborhood and behind Yan An Gong Yuan

I know this might be a stupid question :P but do they speak mandarin? Or are they're language closer to the Turks?

some speak both, some speak Uyghur only. depands on what kind of education they had.
