See the Turpan City Guide: http://www.farwestchina.com/travel/turpan-city-guide
Located two hours southeast of the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi, the city of Turpan offers a beautiful view of the Uyghur culture, one of the reasons it's become such a popular place to visit.
The Uyghur people make up approximately 70% of the population and their history in the region goes back thousands of years.
Turpan used to be a stop along the ancient Silk Road and many of the best places to visit in the city, including the Jiaohe Ruins (交河故城) and Gaochang Ancient City (高昌故城), allow visitors to walk among historical remnants that date back as early as 100 B.C.
In addition to ancient cities, Turpan is also home to the Bezeklik Caves (柏孜克里克), once a treasure trove of Buddhist art, the Karez (坎儿井), a Uyghur irrigation system that is an engineering marvel, the Emin Minaret (苏公塔), the Flaming Mountains (火焰山), Grape Valley (葡萄沟) and much, much more.
But enough with the tourist stuff. In my opinion, what really makes Turpan awesome is the small town atmosphere that lets you experience Uyghur culture outside the confines of a big city.
The market, the street food and especially the night life are probably as memorable, if not more so, than the sites you see during the day.
Turpan is a city you won't forget and one that you won't regret visiting.
The heart of Uyghur culture can be found in Turpan, a city in China's far west region of Xinjiang. Here are the top 5 places to visit! Read more: http://www.farwestchina.com

This episode features Abigail Washburn and the Village collaborating with the Uyghur musical ensemble at Xinjiang Normal University in Urumqi. It also features footage from a trip the band took to the Silk road oasis of Turpan, famous for its raisins and elaborate underground irrigation system.
The Uyghurs are a Muslim minority in far western China who speak a Turkic language related to the language of Uzbekistan. At Xinjiang Normal University we were treated to a number of cool Uyghur musical and dance performances and an incredible meal of pulled noodles with a choice of about 20 different sauces to top them with. After that the Village collaborated with the musical ensemble in front of a boisterous crowd of students and faculty.
The preceding day we had taken a trip to Turpan, a couple hours outside of Urumqi. We visited the Karez, the underground canals that water this oasis in the middle of a harsh desert with water that flows down from the Tianshan mountain range. We then had a lunch of about 10 varieties of mutton. Mutton is big in Uyghurland. After that we visited the ruins of an ancient city which looked like the edge of the world. At one point on the Turpan trip our bus driver purchased two roasted goats pulled from the trunk of a friend's car and threw them in the luggage compartment of our mini-bus. It made for a gamey ride, but seemed very fitting for a Silk Road oasis town.

Turpan
Turpan (simplified Chinese: 吐鲁番; traditional Chinese: 吐魯番; pinyin: Tǔlǔfān; Uyghur: تۇرپان, ULY: Turpan, UYY: Turpan?), also known as Turfan or Tulufan, is a prefecture-level city located in the east of Xinjiang, People's Republic of China. It has an area of 69,324 square kilometres (26,766 sq mi) and a population of 570,000 (2003).
History
Turpan has long been the centre of a fertile oasis (with water provided by the karez canal system) and an important trade centre. It was historically located along the Silk Road, at which time it was adjacent to the kingdoms of Kroran and Yanqi. The name Turfan itself however was not used until the end of the Middle Ages - its use became widespread only in the post-Mongol period. The center of the region has shifted a number of times, from Yar-Khoto (Jiaohe, 10 km to the west of modern Turpan) to Qocho (Gaochang, 30 km to the southeast of Turpan), and to Turpan itself. Historically, many settlements in the region have been given a number of different names, some of which refer to more than one place – Turpan/Turfan/Tulufan is one such example. (Others include Loulan/Kroran/Korla, Jushi/Gushi, Gaochang/Qocho/Karakhoja, Hezhou, and Jiaohe/Yarkhoto.)

The Uyghurs are a Muslim minority in far western China who speak a Turkic language related to the language of Uzbekistan.

After that the Village collaborated with the musical ensemble in front of a boisterous crowd of students and faculty.
The preceding day we had taken a trip to Turpan, a couple hours outside of Urumqi. We visited the Karez, the underground canals that water this oasis in the middle of a harsh desert with water that flows down from the Tianshan mountain range. We then had a lunch of about 10 varieties of mutton. Mutton is big in Uyghurland. After that we visited the ruins of an ancient city which looked like the edge of the world. At one point on the Turpan trip our bus driver purchased two roasted goats pulled from the trunk of a friend's car and threw them in the luggage compartment of our mini-bus. It made for a gamey ride, but seemed very fitting for a Silk Road oasis town.

The preceding day we had taken a trip to Turpan, a couple hours outside of Urumqi. We visited the Karez, the underground canals that water this oasis in the middle of a harsh desert with water that flows down from the Tianshan mountain range. We then had a lunch of about 10 varieties of mutton. Mutton is big in Uyghurland. After that we visited the ruins of an ancient city which looked like the edge of the world. At one point on the Turpan trip our bus driver purchased two roasted goats pulled from the trunk of a friend's car and threw them in the luggage compartment of our mini-bus. It made for a gamey ride, but seemed very fitting for a Silk Road oasis town.

Turbine
The summer ends and the winter winds
Begin to holler all around the bend.
We will smile and sail away
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds
greet the trees back there.
We can watch the turbine
turning in the wind
Up on the ridge line,
before the fog rolls in.
Falling leaves in the autumn air
People feeling good everywhere
When the winter winds greet
the trees back there.
We can watch the turbine
blowing in the wind
Up on the ridge line,
before the fog rolls in.
We will smile and sail away.
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds
