Urumqi! Please grant me 10 more stomachs
The delicacies of Xinjiang are truly endless!
Here, foodies don't have to worry about not finding something delicious. Kebabs, pilaf, roasted naan, buns, as well as milk tea, desserts, ice cream - each one is explosively tasty! Sadly, my stomach is only so big; it simply can't hold all these flavors.
For the first stop on a self-driving tour of Xinjiang, I highly recommend setting aside a day for Urumqi, just to wander and eat! The food streets here are countless, and there's no need for specific recommendations - just walking around, you'll encounter delicious food.
Accommodation: Staying near the Grand Bazaar or the South Gate Station of the subway is quite convenient, close to everywhere.
Itinerary: For lunch, you can go to Hetian Street for a meal, then visit the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Museum, in the afternoon head to the Grand Bazaar (Jinquan Shopping Mall) for a stroll, and have a big dinner at Consulate Alley in the evening. Overview:
Hetian Street: Hetian First Street and Hetian Second Street are two food streets, and there are many hidden gem shops in the surrounding alleys. The lamb leg pilaf is so dazzling that not a single grain of rice is left, and the roasted liver buns burst with juice
Kashgar Grab: The roasted buns for 3 yuan each can be seen from a distance with a queue, buy two to try, they're very tasty.
Hetian Bingrui Shaved Ice Zongzi: Many Xinjiang girls dine in the shop, and the owner is a beautiful Reba lady, the taste is of course good~
Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar: Just stroll around and take photos, and if you want to buy souvenirs, you can go to the 'Jinquan Shopping Mall' next door. Fridge magnets for 5 yuan each, ethnic style coasters for 10 yuan each, isn't a dress for 25 yuan fragrant~
Consulate Alley: Each one looks good so no extra recommendations, there's a supermarket next door you can visit.
Xilin Girl: Delicious! Ordered three cups and each one was tasty, recommended! Perfect with a big plate chicken!
Chaiwopu No. 22 Spicy Chicken: Exclaimed that I finally tasted the authentic spicy chicken, really different from the spicy chicken elsewhere, one bite at a time, the tender chicken wrapped in the aroma of chili, a small portion is completely enough for two people~
Finally, how can you come to Xinjiang and not eat fruit? Hami melons, watermelons, apricots, etc. are visible everywhere on the roadside. Remember to ask for the price before buying, so as not to be shocked by high prices.
Urumqi is really too delicious
No more talk, sisters, remember to starve for a few days before coming
The museum collection is very rich, explaining Xiao Wu, young and handsome, knowledgeable, very friendly, so that tourists can experience the greatness of the motherland in the long river of history, the museum facilities are also good, the tourists experience is good 😊
I am the second brush museum, because the first day I entered the museum did not make an appointment in advance, I went to the museum to explain, I had a little understanding, the exhibition content in the museum was particularly large, thinking about it, I finally came once, and I made an appointment with Trip.com in advance to leave the day's tour guide. Sure enough, the teacher is very professional and very responsible! ! Especially the explanation of the history museum, let me sigh again for the humanities and history of Damei Xinjiang! By the way, because it is not the peak tourist season, this group is just me alone, equivalent to a private group tour, great! !
A must-visit place to come to Urumqi, fully understand Xinjiang's shortcuts, historical developments, and customs. The museum is very large, although several venues have not been opened, the tour guide also explained for more than 3 hours. Jiang Jasmine's tour guide is very serious and responsible, explaining in detail and comprehensive, integrating history and cultural relics to explain, knowledgeable, answer all questions, excellent attitude, awesome 👍
The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum, a museum far in the Western Region, let me understand the 36 countries in the Dahan period, the exotic beauty of thousands of years preserved in the special natural environment, the integration and coexistence of more than 40 ethnic minorities for thousands of years, and the humanities and sciences that are very different from us. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, coming here, full of harvest, worthwhile trip. Explaining Liu Jing's enthusiasm and vivid telling a lot of history and stories, engaging, unforgettable after listening, you must like it.
On the first day of the New Year, I placed a museum order on Trip.com, and I was worried that there was no tour guide. Fortunately, I met Xiao Wu's tour guide. The first night I took the initiative to add WeChat to make an appointment for the next day. The wife said that after listening for a while, she felt that Xiao Wu was particularly knowledgeable, especially the integration of political history. Obviously, it is not simple to memorize the speech. If you see the rise of some place, and discuss some of the history of the Central Plains, Xiao Wu can also talk about it. The explanation process is also wired a little face, from time to time, the previous content in the back exhibition hall again interspersed to emphasize, the original plan for two and a half hours of explanation accidentally said to three and a half hours to end.
Enjoyed the first VIP explanation experience in life at the Xinjiang Museum. The two Wang guides used four hours of detailed explanation, so that our family of three who first entered Xinjiang felt the heavy history, the splendid and diverse Western culture, and the vast and vast motherland. The small story on the restoration mural of Keqier Grottoes, guide Wang, reminds me of the love from the heart when the researcher of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes told us the Weimoyu dialectics. Listening to two people who really love Xinjiang tell Xinjiang stories, this museum trip is worthwhile.
Every time we go to a city, we basically punch in the museum! I also love to listen to the explanation! The daughter said: Brother Wu is the super cow she heard about 🐮 👍, which is too powerful! The old mother believes that the explanation of geography and history is very vivid! Let the children listen to it with relish! great! Recommend everyone to come to Xinjiang to find Xiao Wu tour guide! Awesome! 👍👍👍
