Covering roughly one-sixth of the total land area of China, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region features diverse geographical landscapes and rich ethnic cultures that have made tourism one of Xinjiang's pillar industries.

From vast deserts and crystal lakes to boundless grasslands and majestic snow-capped mountains, Xinjiang's scenery is breathtaking wherever you turn. The region is home to the Xinjiang Tianshan — a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site — as well as unique landscapes where deserts meet lakes, canyons cut through mountains and alpine meadows stretch endlessly.
