Xinjiang, an autonomous territory in northwest China, is a vast region of deserts and mountains. Many ethnic minorities live here, including the Turkish Uyghurs. The Silk Road, which once served as a link between China and the Middle East, passed through this region. Traces of this ancient trade can be found in the traditional open-air bazaars and oasis cities, such as Hotan and Kashgar.
