Xinjiang city of Kashgar in western China's most
The years 1997-2000, a period of impressive
There are many friends wish to travel to Xinjiang, would like to know more of the situation in Xinjiang, especially in conditions of social stability in Xinjiang. I am in the "Insider" "animated conversation" to see everyone in Xinjiang there are two opposing views:
2003-6-9 want to go to Xinjiang tour, but I have heard that some remote areas of discrimination against the Han, the Han people do have at stake? 2003-6-9 with the analytical capacity to analyze adult bar !!!!!!
Each year in question would not have so many Han Chinese and foreigners Qula!!!
In fact, both views are one-sided. Xinjiang is neither dangerous, nor is it absolutely safe. Since the 90's has been a very ethnic minorities in Xinjiang separatists and illegal religious elements in Xinjiang create a series of terrorist activities. (In East Turkistan elements as the representative) to the period 1996-1999 is the worst. But recently the situation much better, especially after the United Nations to Xinjiang, 911 "East Turkistan" elements to include international terrorist organizations such as the Chinese and foreign joint to crack down on what has become unable to climate.
Now it is safe to travel to Xinjiang, in fact, even in 1999, before the terrorist incidents in Xinjiang against the tourists are few (there Aksu in 1998 with the terrorist killing of several tourists, precisely because they are the Han people), Westerners in particular, to Xinjiang Tourism is safe, as if some of the locals on the West is more friendly.
