At Urumqi's Crossroads, this is no ordinary intersection - it's where Xinjiang's soul comes alive! Sizzling street stalls dish out cumin-scented lamb skewers while locals in vibrant Uyghur attire weave through the crowd. As sunset paints the alley in gold, grab a pomegranate juice and let the rhythmic beat of distant dutar music transport you. Pro tip: Follow the aroma to find the best samsa (meat pies) hidden in the corner!

Stayed at Niu Ti Apartment (Xuanwu Lake Road Branch) in Urumqi and had a generally positive experience. The location is excellent—right next to Wanda Plaza with a vibrant food street just downstairs, making dining and shopping super convenient. The apartment-style room was clean and functional, but it felt a bit stuffy due to the small window, which limited airflow. I was surprised by the additional charges: a disposable toilet seat cover cost $3, and a single-use towel was $18—definitely not something I've encountered before.
