(tianshannet) Updated: 2008-January-8 17:32:36


In the hinterland of Eurasia, there is a place named “Xinjiang”, its full name is “Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region”, located in northwest border of China, it is the key transport junction on ancient Silk Road. In ancient times, it has a name full of temptation called “Xi Yu”. There are four world cultural systems with long history as follows: China, India, Islam and Rome in Greek, while there is only one junction of the four cultural systems, which is Xinjiang, China, this is due to the only access to Silk Road of Xinjiang. Nowadays, it is the information and trade expressway connecting Europe and Asia, and has become the jointly living and development place of multi religions and multi-nationalities. If you don’t have much understanding of Xinjiang, let me make an introduction for you.
