Ethnic Travel Hazards in Xinjiang?

Are there any notable extra hassles in travelling in Xinjiang for somebody that looks Han Chinese? Any extra dangers?

Thanks.

Ethnic Travel Hazards in Xinjiang?

Didn%26#39;t encounter anything out-of-the-ordinary when I went in July 2007.

Ethnic Travel Hazards in Xinjiang?

Hi ,

Take everything easy there . Not really sure about the destinations there you are traveling to . Kids love to make a posture before your camera , You got to ask or use your body language to see if photo taking is OK or not . DO NOT take photos of women there unless they allow you to .

I have been there for five time since 2003 . Latest was in last July. I would not suggest you going to some back streets at night . And if you are going to any bazzar , do not ask the price and get further into a price negotiation if you are not interested in buying .

You got to be very CAREFUL in the articles in your luggage when at their airport , They are very strict of what you have in it . Anything in liquid form , lighter , any thing with alcohol content . knife , nail files..etc. If you use Li battery in the camera , put it in the cehck-in luggage if you ever go to kashagr .

GENREALLY , TAKE EVERYTHING EASY .

It is great to travel there .

The issues mentioned about airport and luggage, are common sense for travelling anywhere within China (and in the world).

Absulutely safe for everybody in Xinjaing. You don%26#39;t need to worry about it.
