Airport has military base vibes - not friendly, no music, everything closes during the night, and even the lights are turned off. If you have a transfer during night time, you will die out of hunger. One of the few international airports in the world where staff don’t know even a little bit of English. I am lucky i know a bit of Chinese, it saves me, but what about regular tourists, who are just traveling. Most of the time, staff is not helpful, talks with an attitude as if you’re bothering them, and they make no effort to assist or understand you. Infrastructure is extremely poor. There’s no official luggage storage - only a corner at the reception of a capsule hotel, and even that doesn’t feel safe. Anyone could potentially grab your bag, and staff clearly isn’t excited to keep it for you. The duty-free is dull and empty - no variety, no atmosphere, nothing interesting to look at or buy. There’s no Wi-Fi available, which is ridiculous for an international airport. The interior is depressing - cold lighting, minimal decoration, and a generally unwelcoming, soulless vibe. No comfort zones, no peaceful rest areas, and definitely nothing pleasant about spending time there. Smokers beware: they confiscate lighters at the very entrance to the airport - not even at the security check. So if you step out to smoke during a long layover, you won’t even have a way to light your cigarette afterward. Just one more small, annoying detail in a long list of passenger-unfriendly rules. The security check itself is dehumanizing. I’ve gone through it multiple times and every time it feels like they’re giving you a full-body massage - except no one’s enjoying it. Zero privacy, too many people watching, and extremely thorough to the point of discomfort. Atmosphere is cold and hostile. I’ve been through this airport at least five times, and each time my layover experience was unpleasant and stressful. During one of my 20-hour layovers, I approached the China Southern Airlines transfer desk to get assistance with the free hotel stay that was shown as available in their official app - only to be told bluntly by the woman at the counter that no hotel was provided, without explanation or even an attempt to help. For comparison, I’ve transited through airports like Hangzhou and Nanjing - and they were much better. Staff was more welcoming, the atmosphere felt more relaxed, and most importantly, the security checks weren’t so absurdly strict and dehumanizing. Honestly, it’s hard to believe this is supposed to be an international hub. Avoid layovers in Urumqi if you can. It’s one of the least passenger-friendly airports I’ve ever been through.

The airport is beautifully located – on clear days you can admire the breathtaking mountain ranges, which are truly massive. Like many airports in China, it is very modern, yet designed with a style that reflects its natural surroundings.It’s important to note that the passenger volume here is huge – around 32 million travelers this year. Security checks are very thorough. Power banks and lighters are prohibited, and sometimes passengers may even be called back to inspect their checked luggage after it has already been handed over. Patience and allowing extra time for the process are highly recommended.For those who do not speak Chinese, communication may be challenging, so planning ahead is important. The airport itself is vast, and walking from security to the most distant gate can take up to 15 minutes.

Arrive early as you have to go through extensive and intensive luggage checks. My advice is to put all, and I mean all, electronics in a separate bag for easier checking at the security, otherwise they would ransack your checked and hand carry luggage at different points. They are very thorough. Having said that, the security staff are polite and patient even with long queue of annoyed passengers. Body search is a real body check, by touching different parts of your body with their hands. Once inside the international departures, there aren't many shops with a Burgers King (also selling noodles!), it has very slow and inefficient service. Once the kitchen brings out the food at the counter, everyone goes for it. You have to organize among yourselves as the staff does not help and does not know what to help.

Top modern Airport. The service offers and shops are average. New launches and good Airport services. Modern and clean toilets.

Passengers are advised to come early as going through immigration is rather strict. Quite a lot of eateries and shops available

Arrived here in September recently on China Eastern airline for a 12-day tour of Xinjiang. The airport is new and no need for immigration as it was already done in Beijing.

Very big airport. There are restaurants including MacDonald, cafes, gifts and electronic shops. There's also Tax refund office but it's located inside the terminals, while the customs is before the before control. So if you need to put a custom's stamps on your paper for tax refund, please keep in mind you need to do it before you pass the border control.

If you really have nothing to do in Urumqi, then you can head out here. Probably spend an hour or so. I didn't find anything interesting in particular except you can see some skyline of Urumqi.

This park in the city center is better than my expectation. There is a platform to overview the city and Tian Shan. The Buddhist temple inside is very historical since the Qing Empire colonization.

Free Turkistan

Popular park for the local people too

Nice place to visit

(Translated by Google) There are not many attractions, you can take a car to go up the mountain for 20 yuan, and enter the temple for 10 yuan. (Original) Không có nhiều điểm hấp dẫn, có thể đi xe để chở lên núi 20 tệ, vào chùa 10 tệ.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful scenery, fresh air, can walk, climb mountains for exercise 好看🤩 (Original) Cảnh đẹp, không khí trong lành, có thể đi bộ, leo núi tập thể dục 好看🤩

Very relaxing ambience and extremely pretty

Nothing special. It’s a normal park where kids can play and people can walk.

Beautiful park for tourists to visit in the people’s park

A great tourism place

It was a surprisingly nice place, less famous than Red Hill Park but so much quieter, I liked how they left the snow on the path, the snowy scene was wonderfully beautiful.

best park in urumqi

Ok

only open during prayer hours. Difficult for travellers to pray

Nice, but commercialised Musk from the late fifties. The musk had been converted to a market and belongs to the state. The area is highly protected.

This is a popular photo taking spot for tourists. There are many shops outside the mosque.

Is this a tourist site or a Muslim prayer place?

Surrounded by shops no info on how to get into the mosque

Must visit in Urumqi

(Translated by Google) It's located in a corner of the bazaar area. Has it become a tourist spot? Unfortunately, we weren't able to go inside. The exterior had a nice atmosphere and looked like a very nice mosque. (Original) バザールエリアの一角にあります。 観光地化している？ しかし中には入れず残念でした。 外観は雰囲気がありとても素敵なモスクに見えました🕌

- Big landmark park in the middle of city - You can see some part of the city from the top - Have some children amusement facilities and some touristy shops

A big park right in the city center, with historical building and monuments as well as kid's amusement facilities.

Can see the overall part of Urumuchi at this park.

Beautiful garden, spend week end with fresh air, warm sun shine under the tree, and enjoy sandwich with wine, Cheers!!

👌 nice

Not good

Winnie the pooh

Beautiful place but I doubt if it’s worthy to spend a whole day to visit. I’d say its view is slightly inferior than other gorgeous places in Xinjiang

Very scenic spot with boat rides, food court, and lots of photo ops

It’s quite difficult to get this place and take 1 hr with zigzag road up to the mountains. When arriving at tourist bus stop center, have to take a provided bus to the tourist service center and then take a 600 meter walk or get a buggy (charged) around 5 mins to arrive the tourist spot of the wonderful lake. There are so many tourists in spring and summer times which is difficult to take a photo without friends. Even many tourists, the management of transportation is very effective. There are many activities provided such as cruising in the lake, tracking, hiking, worshipping at the temples surrounding.

This is a must-visit lovely spot where you can take a boat to cruise round the lake. If the tourist bus is not in operations on your day of visit, you will need to walk about 800m up a gentle slope. I also saw advertising on camping around this scenic area. May be worth a try.

Lake very beautiful in winter. Winter less tourist than summer.

Admission: 155rmb (include shuttle bus) Enter: facial recognition with ID name registered All visitors vehicle must park at the tourist center and switch to shuttle bus, all vehicle are not allowed enter into the scenic park. shuttle bus will make a brief stop at a local native village, passenger will need to walk thru the village as those villages will sell some handicraft, souvenirs, fruits and F&B, you may just walk and ignore if you are not intend to buy. After that will continue the shuttle bus journey up to the mountain, final stop at a tourist site located 1km between the TienShan TienChi. Whole journey takes about an hour to reach, from tourist center to tourist site, distance approximately 35km. From the tourist site you may walk to the TienChi or using the golf cart to reach, golf cart 10rmb/single journey. 相較於台灣的高山湖泊「日月潭」，日月潭大、天山天池較小，但天山天池有博格達山脈雪白的山峰與湖水交互相映，顯得較美！

A nice morning walk for 1.6 km to see the beautiful lake surrounded by mountains.

(Translated by Google) The park has beautiful scenery, and there are many people cleaning it, so the environment is well maintained. It's a pity that our visit time is limited and we can't visit everything (Original) 公園景色優美，也有不少人在打掃，環境維持的不錯。比較可惜的是，我們的參觀時間有限，沒辦法全部逛完

(Translated by Google) A park not far from downtown Urumqi. I visited this place without thinking about it, but I liked the refreshing early summer feel and the atmosphere where visitors can leisurely enjoy themselves even though it was a weekday afternoon. I took a car from the entrance towards the mountain, walked down, had a cup of tea at a tea house, and returned to the entrance along the waterway, which was nice. (Original) 우루무치시내에서 멀지 않은 공원. 별 생각없이 방문했다가 싱그러운 초여름의 느낌과 평일 오후인데도 적당한 방문객이 여유롭게 즐기는 분위기가 좋았던 곳. 입구에서 차타고 산쪽으로 갔다가 걸어내려와서 찻집에서 차 한잔하고 물길따라 입구로 돌아왔는데 좋았습니다.

(Translated by Google) Awesome urban park! The park is divided into several special areas, including squares, small bridges, and flowing water. The river is running water, very clean and cool, and there are many fish. There are health knowledge boards in the park to popularize correct concepts. Very suitable for shopping. (Original) 超讚的市区公园！ 公園內區分成好幾處特色區，有廣場、小橋、流水，河流是活水非常乾淨清涼，有許多魚。 園內設有健康小常識看板，普及正確觀念。 很適合來逛逛。

(Translated by Google) Although Shuimogou Park is not a very famous scenic spot, it is quite a good place to relax and watch the fish swimming in the water. There is also a Qingquan Zen Temple on the mountain inside, which offers a bird's eye view of the entire park. (Original) 水磨溝公園，雖然不是太有名的景點，但在這裡散散心，看看魚水優游，蠻不錯的。裡面山上還有個清泉禪寺可以鳥瞰整座公園。

(Translated by Google) It’s very beautiful here 😍👍👍👍 It’s impossible to describe the feeling. It looks beautiful in the photo but in reality this park is much more beautiful😍😍🥰 (Original) Здесь очень красиво 😍👍👍👍 Невозможно описать ощущения. На фото выглядит красиво но на самом деле этот парк намноооого красивее😍😍🥰

(Translated by Google) Quanjude is a chain catering company in China that specializes in roast duck. It is also one of China's well-known trademarks and a Chinese time-honored brand. But I came here today to be a little disappointed. The skin of the roast duck is still thin and crispy. The chef also carves the duck meat freshly on the table, but the sauce is not that flavourful. The tea that comes with the meal is cold and has a very weak tea flavor. At the same time, there is also the smell of smoke from the guests at the next table smoking on the table. This is not like the standard of an internationally renowned restaurant. (Original) 全聚德是中國一家以烤鴨為特色的連鎖餐飲企業，亦是中國馳名商標之一、中華老字號。 但今日慕名而來，有少許失望，烤鴨仍是皮薄酥脆，也有廚師淋桌現削鴨肉，但醬料並不是那麼道味，隨餐附送的茶水，是涼的且茶味超淡，同時還會傳來隔桌客人在餐桌上抽菸的煙味，這不太像馳名國際的餐廳水準。
