Xingjian “the New Frontier” is the most western Chinese province, also the largest. During the Tang Dynasty it played an important role in the traffic between China and Europe the so called Silk Road. On which not only goods but also ideas and religions traveled like Buddhism and Islam. Many remnants of this period can still be seen. But the Silk Road is not dead, today’s “Polyester Road” is still very active and can best be seen here. Xingjian is partially covered by the Taklamakan Desert, part of the Gobi and most its cities are actually oasis. It shares the second largest mountain in the world K2 with Pakistan, the Tien Shan Mountains with Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and the Altai with Russia and Mongolia. It is home to many different nationalities and cultures. Almaty is the ideal gateway to this part of China.
