Yingbin Road

Stroll along Yingbin Road and soak up the unique charm of Urumqi! This wide, tree-lined boulevard is flanked by towering poplars that turn a lush green in spring and summer, and a romantic golden hue in autumn and winter. A favorite local spot for leisurely walks, here you can experience rich Central Asian culture, sampling grilled lamb skewers and pilaf from street vendors, and sometimes even encounter Uyghur elders playing the rawap and singing folk songs. As night falls, the street lamps illuminate the road, creating a magical contrast with the distant snow-capped Tianshan Mountains.
