Shuimogou District

Ürümqi

love the snow here!
Having a walk up on Hongshan park, in Urumqi, China.
Out in China Xinjiang province near to Tajikistan where the highway G314 stretches all the way to Pakistan. This is part of the Karakoram Highway some called the 8th wonder of the world. Part of the old silk route path. 

Lots of superb landscape for photography. Or, if needed, escape from the maddening crowd! This is probably part of China where u can get blue sky almost any time of the year!

8.4/10 Very Good! (75 reviews)
The only negative thing about this Hotel is that despite we were accommodated on the Non-smoking Floor, the corridor is often filled with cigarette smoke which also found their way into the room. Very annoying and unhealthy.
