Next on the list has to be Xinjiang. I'd live anywhere in the province given a chance, but would probably rather not live in Urumqi just because it's so huge. But Urumqi would still do nicely.
I have been to Xinjiang, but I only spent two nights there between flights and saw just a little of Urumqi. After Uzbekistan, it's definitely next on my list.
I lived in Xinjiang for a semester, and it is WONDERFUL! I'm sure some of the wonders are similar to those of other countries in Central Asia.... but still. I haven't been to the other two places, but Turpan is really cool.
So cool, Chelsea. We're having a hard time figuring out a good way to live there. And it probably doesn't help that my husband speaks Uyghur.
What I really want to do is go all over western China by train and bike. The rest of the family thinks that's a bit much, so maybe I'll do it by myself someday.
