Urumqi is the capital of Xinjiang, the last frontier in China. It is the center of culture, politics and economy of Xinjuang. It is a city where multi-ethnic groups of people live in mixed communities. These are the Han Chinese, Hui, Uygur, Kazakh and Mongol minorities. Although the Uygurs and Kazakhs are not Chinese in looks, most of them speak Putonghua, especially the younger folks. This is after all still China. Islam is the dominant religion, thus you see lamb sold everywhere.
