KZfaqrs usually have no interest in museum when they visit Urumqi in Xinjiang You are an exception. This Urumqi museum is actually worth a visit Really piqued by the display of the mummy corpses.

Retirement in Urumqi looks like a lot of fun! I’ve always wanted to explore the Silk Road.

Nice tour of museum and parks

I've noticed that Parks in China are named after their People, whereas parks in the UK are named after the Aristocrats and the Royals. Pretty telling that!

Cool! The world is so much better off if countries just focus on their development instead of fighting with each other.

peaceful , beautiful !

This is real Xinjiang!

Amazing Xinjiang

Beautiful peaceful helpful freedoms great China’s 🇨🇳Xinjiang ❤& peoples ❤

"Ian's Typical Guy Tours" ....sign me up. Great footage indorr and out. Looking forward to Part III in Xinjiang

Well, guys we have to visit the places Ian talks about in his videos. Because because Beijing is such an amazing interesting city. Lama Temple omg, amazing. Next door Confucius Temple and just as amazing to. I then went to Punk Rock restaurant and had some fish and chips for dinner🎉with some noodles, chicken and hot peppers. Next, off to the drum towers and bell towers. Last. A quick stop at the lake and 2024 dragon. Hahaha more fun I could handle for one day. Last China really does come alive at night folks, so make sure you take in the night life after their work….Peace………..❤😊😊😊

Dances like those of 13:25 are of Muslim heritage. The music usually has the Arabian seven-beat tempo.

Well done for persevering to make it up to the top of the tower! However the view of the high rises from there was not what I expected. Those senior citizens dancing in the parks would have lived through hardship during the Cultural Revolution. The smiles on their faces reflect their pride for having played their part in shaping the China as we see today. My respect to them all! ✊

The museum looks interesting👍👍👍

There are actually so many negative comments coming from people who have never been there. Never seen it live, then know it all? What the hell are they thinking?

Xinjiang looks way better than Gaza! I guess in American English the word "genocide" must have some positive meaning since the USA says China committed genocide in Xinjiang while there was no genocide in Gaza!

I was there last year, thank you for bring me back again, amazing museum and unique culture which are preserved very well

Wow! Fascinating museum Ian. Urumqi is really an amazing and calm city and I had so much fun there. The museum isn’t really visited by many so it’s amazing that you show us that side of the city. So much history there and it’s beautiful too!

Good video again Iain

❤ great video again Iain, can't wait to see the next one.👍☺️

You're one of the very few travel bloggers to come to Urumqi and be willing to explore beyond the Grand Bazaar, thank you! The temple on the hill you went to at the end of the video, the hill is called Red Hill, it's a landmark in Urumqi, but you're the first blogger I've ever met who's willing to go there.

Ian good one. there was a famous Irishman, Robert Hart, who in the late 19th, very early 20th century helped the Qing dynasty "modernise" their country. 2 things amongst many he created a maritime customs post in Urumqi (the city is furthest from sea anywhere on planet), the British expats thought he'd gone native... errmm He was Irish and he lived through the genocide famine inflicted on his country in 1847!

From the comments it seems that quite many people aren't happy with positive view about China. Can't understand why they're so obsessed with China's failure, and everything about China should be in negativity

I have been too busy lately to leave comments but I watched the video yesterday. You're doing a great job and being honest which is impressive.

Looks like a fantastic adventure. Look forward to watching more.

Great video and info about Xinjiang! Thank you very much for sharing~

I wonder you can rent an audio device that will guide you through the museum in English audio. In some museums in China they do have such device that can sense which part of the museum you are at and narrates the exhibited items to you.

Will visit very soon..looks Beautiful

Hey man, congratulations.. you've got it...WuSu...,,, I always have WuSu while having BBQ meats !

The demographics of Urumqi are different from Kashgar. It would be interesting to see the different kinds of ethnicities.

Thank you for the video you shot in Xinjiang, which debunks the rumors and slanders of the Western media.

The beer and food will taste better after all that hard work

Those people seem to have been forced to sing and 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 🕺 🕺 💃

lots and lots of mummies.

I just got to know there is metro in Urumqi in Xinjiang

Hi Ian I hope you’re okay. I am a long time subscriber and I am a fan of you but can you please film more what’s around you then your self because in this video particularly you film more of yourself than what around you thank you.

The people here are happier than most of the American blacks.

😂他主要就在红山公园周围转悠呢

Where can I find detention camps?

Compare Xinjiang genocide to Gaza genocide.

west propagandize : waw , so many paid actor . how much money you spend? and how much money you get from CCP

as told by BBC, not true.

The Uighur Museum sounds fantastic. Can you get to some Uighur prisons for us to have a look see. You cant miss them. They have very tall walls and big gates with razor wire and guard posts. Some have slogans written on the walls that say "Obey the China Communist Party or else!". Ask a taxi driver where they are. They all know.

The truth of the matter is, China in its Dynestic history, never “learn" the Western way of conquering peoples, like American wiping out Natives American or Hawaiian language and cultures out right dubbing them uncivilized! Yes Chinese was authoritarian but less insidious like banning speaking of Navajo or Hawaiian languages as American did a century ago! That's why China is still quite diverse and maintaining language and culture regionally! Unfortunately it may have "learn" those practice recently like trying to made mandarin menditory or other measures for national unity orcounter separatist and secession movements! It's a sad reality in a world US in an effort to remain its hegemony employing its old divide and conquer tattic by way of NED, VOA propaganda! Decade after, Arab Spring, where are they now interm of progress?Thus China view Western media platform as national security risk unless they abide by "Chinese law"! As American, I don't believe for a second American government truly "care" about any given countries "well being" in its agendas! Even idealist neo liberal, astonished me how they never have little memories of trying to "liberates" or " democratized" the world that end in failures! From Korean war (they'll often argue being successful comparing South and North, but still only half so I can argue) what about Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, now Ukraine! Final truth! China is dubbed most hated country in the west resulting from its propaganda! Like Lee Kuan Yew said : if you view China as enemy, China will counter, result, USA is the most hated counyin the world according to Global South, fair game, I guess😂

IT depends how you look at it. 15 years ago almost nothing seen in your video frame existed. Almost 100% of what you do have in frame is new Beijing's plan to remake Urumqi and Xinjiangs cities and towns. Something seen in most of the sponsored panderbear visit videos is the massive sections of walls around community living buildings. those kms of walls and gates you tired walking past uninterrupted by very very few gates (often only 1 entrance and exit) and that is where most of the Uighurs live and or 'Han' which are a massively increasing population will have their own huge walled off communities.

What is the point of this video? Mr Curious, he keeps reminding us, all we see, him walking around People's Park, again as he says, are in every city in China. Terrible video on Urumqi!!

Xinjiang country 🐨🐨 Xinjiang part of Pakistan 🖤🖤🖤
