Xinjiang's attractions include China's hottest and the coldest places; its longest inland river, the Tarim; the lowest place in China - Aydingkol Lake (Moonlight Lake) in the Turpan Basin; one of the country's largest inland freshwater lake – the Bosten, and its largest desert – the Taklamakan. Taklamakan means in Uyghur 'enter and never return.'

Visitors can also visit the strange and beautiful Yadan landscape in Korla; mysterious deserts and spectacular sand dunes. The ancient Silk Road left Xinjiang with a cultural heritage that blends east and west, and includes spectacular historical and archaeological sites. Its ancient cities, caves, temples and tombs attract countless tourists from home and abroad.
