Urumqi International Airport

Some notes jotted down while toting baggage through Urumqi’s airport:

  • Announcements in Mandarin and Uighyur
  • Arabic/Persian script, Chinese characters, and English signage
  • Flight seemed very Han, as are the workers at the airport
  • China’s ubiquitous construction is here
  • CCTV on the tube
  • Alcohol is sold
  • Some women in head scarves and some in short skirts
