It is the largest administrative region in China. Xinjiang is famous for its folk dances, fruits, gems, and carpets. Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital city, is the political, economic and cultural center of the region. Xinjiang was known as the western region in ancient times and didn't acquired its current name until Qing Dynasty. Xinjiang was the hub on the ancient Silk Road, a place where ancient Chinese culture met Indian, Persian, Arab, Greek and Roman cultures, leaving behind large amounts of cultural relics, including the ancient cities of Gaochang, Jiaohe and Loulan - SOURCE from CHINA BIG.com
