When Albert von LeCoq, one of the famous adventourers exploring the Silkroad, visited Urumqi about 100 years ago, he called Urumqi a dirty, fly-infested city with a bloodstained past. He spoke of unhealthy looking population and ugly streets.
Well, Urumqi has changed a lot. 2 Million people, highrise buildings and wide highways are now the main sights in Urumqi. The Old Town has almost completely vanished. But the bazaars and streets are colorful and interesting, bustling with life.
Hi everyone! I am actually three weeks away from moving to Urumqi - I'm not there yet, but I will be,from May 2004 onwards.... all change for me!
I'm really looking forward living this very different city. And all you information seekers: I've searched high and low, and I know there is precious little real-opinion on Urumqi (for travellers or for people trying to move there!!). Even the guidebooks are slim. So, if you have any questions about how Urumqi really is, do email me. I'll be more than happy to share my thoughts.
I'll also be adding to this page every now and again - and pictures once I buy a camera(!) All comments /suggestions for information to include are welcome! :)
Ciao!
