Generally play all the projects in the scenic spot
No more than three hours at most

They say it’s very cold in the scenic spot
Down jacket is a must
It turned out to be very hot and sunny
Sun hat and sunglasses are a must
It's cool in the shade
Even a little cold
Just wearing short sleeves by the lake is enough
Add a coat for hiking

Must eat food
As the capital of Xinjiang Province
Urumqi has a lot of delicious food
I just wish I couldn't stay for two more days
Satisfy the stomach of foodies
From Dabancheng to Urumqi
Will pass by Chaiwopu
The spicy chicken here is a famous inn delicacy
Spicy but not dry, fragrant but not greasy
There are many shops in Spicy Chicken Street
Yang Le Spicy Chicken Restaurant we went to
Cheap and good quality, the taste is memorable
If you can only stay in Urumqi for one day
Then you must go to eat the chicken from the blood station
20 minutes walk from Xinjiang Museum
There are quite a lot of chicken shops in blood stations.
Locals recommend this hotel with several floors
The essence of the chicken dish is the fried potatoes
Golden and crispy on the outside, floury on the inside
The cooked soup is thick
After eating, mix the soup with the hand-pulled strips
