I am going on an Asia trip next year and Xinjiang is on my list of maybes. Unfortunately their season appears to end in early May and I'm going in June/July.

I hope Tyler eats lots of big plates of chicken.

Damn, that stuff looks good. I could eat a big plate of big plate chicken right now!

The name of the dish cracks me up.

Frickin' China... Even their Wyoming has a lot of people.

Urumqi is among the top ten cities in the world with the most air pollution.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, Urumqi is the most remote city from any sea in the world.

In 2008, Toronto Star listed Urumqi as one of the Top Ten worst places to live in the world due to sulphurous pollution. Heavy haze is extremely common in winter, which frequently affects air traffic.

Because of the use of a single time zone for all of China, in Urumqi which is at a far western location in China, the sun is 2 hours and 10 minutes behind China Standard Time

Looks like you get all 9 seasons there. Yeesh.
