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
Ju Wanxu, a tour guide sister of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum, was able to vividly tell the story behind the exhibits and make the "still" cultural relics lifelike. Ju Wanxu not only has a wealth of knowledge reserves, but also can attract tourists' attention in popular languages, so that people have a deeper understanding and understanding of Xinjiang's history and culture. On the one hand, the professionalism and enthusiasm shown in the explanation process make the visitors able to learn in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Her way of explaining is both educational and interesting, so that tourists visit the museum while, as if crossing time and space into the long river of history. My son especially liked her style of explanation, and listened to every historical detail she introduced, and even went back to read interesting historical stories. On the other hand, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum itself is a place to show the beauty of multicultural blending, with precious cultural relics including the "five-star East Li China" Jinhu arm. The wonderful explanation of Ju Wanxuan tour guide undoubtedly gives these cultural relics more vitality, helping tourists better understand and appreciate these historical witnesses.
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! !
The experience was great. I came here once in winter five years ago. At that time, the dry corpse hall was closed and the maintenance was missed. In April, five years later, I finally made up for the regret, and this experience was much better than last time. First of all, I arrived at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and asked for an explanation. 150 hours, the time concept of the explanation of the young lady is very strong, all the key explanations, the knowledge reserves are rich, and the final speech is really unfinished. I feel that as long as time allows, she can also output 24 hours, and you can spell an explanation with others. It is very worthwhile; Secondly, Wenchuang has a big score. When I came 5 years ago, I sold what was broken. This time I went out to a lot of cultural relics around the museum. The last five-star Oriental Li Chinese glasses cloth bought me haha happy.
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.
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 👍
