Urumqi is the capital of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The city
lies west of Bogda Mountain(part of the Tianshan Range) and at the southeastern
edge of Junggar Basin. For over two thousand years, the area around Urumqi
has been lush pastures populated by many minorities who herded sheep and
cattle, Urumchi actually meaning "beautiful pastures" in Mongolian. |
