Urumqi train station is being renovated, all the passengers are from one entrance and out, it is extremely crowded. There are many hang around the exit you want to stub children, but also middle-aged man soliciting stays, when dragging large bag heads bowed Deus Ex, when the sky had been gradually released late, after all, Beijing nearly ten o'clock.
A small tower called a car, led us to the residence. Urumqi is the rental prices starting at six dollars, but very little in the hot summer air conditioning the driver.
Urumqi is a gray hue, yet soon I found a surprise in the gray: Urumqi has also been elevated! An old building I mistakenly think that they have built in many years ago, it was originally completed just last year. Perhaps in the city over the more gratuitous guy such a hindrance, there is a little people are not used to, and sometimes you can see the elevated Road pass by the person riding a bicycle backward moving leisurely, of course. "Death!" Drivers towards cyclists to spit a mouthful of bitter.
Another special feature is that in Urumqi all the ads and signs controls are Han Vivian Balakrishnan, allowing smoother in Shanghai, has been to see the eyes of the English signs in I do not quite used to. Zhang Kangkang mentioned in an article in the tree symbol of the city. Increasingly identical expression in the city now, only the tree in order to interpret each of the city's history, culture, temperament and heritage. Towering Tasson represents Urumqi, Xinjiang or expression, but the nation has given Urumqi (Xinjiang) is different from other cities, temperament, 47 national integration here, Xinjiang, diverse cast its geographical environment multi-nationalization, which was the diverse geographical environment in the sixth set of land has made of Xinjiang, rivers run into sea momentum and cheerful frank personality. I've got to keep and admire the harmony of the Han Wen-dimensional bar.
Urumqi is not big, car quickly to a residence is the Southwest Petroleum Supply Base in Uzbekistan guest house, near the north-west road. To lay down their luggage will feel hungry, hurried down to the opposite of the hotel to find something to eat.
Point of the noodles later, we sat outside the table next to the chat. Students to drink, let the hotel pick up bottles of beer to a boy. Surprisingly, he has forgotten that actually Guzhuo and companions on the road, kicking up silt cans, the playing is still very selfless. Fried noodles are up the (well-known, Xinjiang restaurant serving very slow, both locally in Xinjiang or in other places), beer was also no sign of distant. Store owner a harsh result is a meal eaten chestnut hair. Beer were brought to when he's embarrassed face, through street lights, see, or places full of handsome young man.
Xinjiang noodles are both face a special effort to eat together, but you can exercise facial muscles. After a meal out of turn full circle, there is not entirely under the elevated night market, tomatoes, cucumber, celery, singly kinda large, on the kilograms sold; The collected during the day kebab stalls, sitting on the steps of the roadside play the guitar and humming some sort of minor; small steaming food stalls throughout the city, large pot with many past and sheep could not utter the name of the food, but I did not dare try for a moment.
Go tired, he decided to go home. Japanese girl and I lived in a four-earth, there lived other is to Urumqi and her daughter see a doctor, but also with a child. Food bags out early to prepare a good snack, and handed the little girl on chatting with them again. Came from far away for us and to go to Xinjiang to play in less remote areas, they said that is very understandable, there are many people think of the Mainland, but we just wishes suffered enough to be here. The second floor of the hotel dining room has done a lot of people have gone to the fifth floor in bathing. Finally our turn, and spent two days on the train, feeling uncomfortable, detestable is the water shower Shower thin like a hair spray, with great difficulty will forward to the shower and clothes washing, over a 12 points. Granddaughters eyes in surprise, we have lira a clothesline in the room to hang wet clothes, and then pour into a bed and kick into gear to sleep.
