Urumqi is the capital of the Xinjiang provinde - an Autonomous region inhavited by the Uyguyr people. Although it occupies one sixth of the surface of China, there are only 16 million people living here.
The sights in the city itself are not spectacular. There is a nine-story Hong Ding Shan Ta pagoda with good views over the city. The Xinjian museum (at132 Northwest road) is very good. Daytrips can be made to Tianshan and Lake Tianzi, 155 south on the way to Kashgar. Think of Lugu Lake with yurts and nomads.
Since Urumqi is a border town, ther are some interesting markets. There is a Russian one, and a Moslem one (near the Mosque). On the Qiao market you can buy a camle or a horse for onward transport.
You can go to Urumqi by train all the way form Beijing, it's a hard 64 hours, the logest train ride in China. Onward travel takes you to Kasgar by bus, or accross the mountains to the Kazakhstan by train or bus.
