The Wild Northwest Urumqi, the Gateway to the Rest of Xinjiang W ords by Matthew Bossons and Zoey Zha, Photos by Li Ye

h Xinjiang, that almost mythical land - Awest. A region famed for its rich cultural heritage,that scenic resides landscapes in China’s and far-flung internationally- north renowned cuisine, Xinjiang, in our humble opinion, is a place that’s not to be missed. The magic of Xinjiang comes from the diverse ethnic groups that make up its populace, including Han, Kazakhs, Tajiks, Russians, Hui, Uyghur, Kyrgyz and Mongols. Nowhere in the region is this diversity more visible than in its capital, Urumqi. Serving as the gateway to the rest of Xinjiang, almost every visit here (by air anyway) will mean passing through Urumqi. Even a short stay in the city can be a rewarding travel experience, offering the adventurous a glimpse into the region’s history and rich traditions.

Sights Anyone that’s been to Urumqi will tell you the bazaar, referred to as Erdaqiao market by some, is the city’s most enticing tourist site. Admittedly, it’s a classic tourist trap, but offers some good souvenir shopping opportunities, with stalls selling everything from dried fruits to clothing to old war medals and coins. From a cultural perspective, the bazaar is noteworthy due to its reputation as a traditional Islamic market – a feature that is apparent based on the local dress, language and occasional Arabic call to prayer from a nearby mosque. A lesser-known sight, but one equally worthwhile for a visit, is Red Mountain (Hongshan), which offers commanding - dos, the mountain also hosts a Buddhist temple and, for cou- plesviews and of thethose Urumqi traveling skyline. with Achildren, perfect stopa Ferris for selfiewheel. aficiona Animal lovers can pay a visit to Liyushan Park, an area that is home to a number of rare horse breeds, including Przewalski horses, and some rowdy cowboys. With no admission charge, the cowboy shows are fun to watch and offer a glimpse into the crazier things that can be done on horseback (like riding on your head…). In addition to the horses Liyushan Park harbors an impressive collection of artifacts and art installations that offer curious individuals a glimpse into the region’s long equestrian history.

After last year’s historic game, the Pac-12 returns to Mercedes-Benz Arena on November 12 to kick off the college basketball regular season with an on-court battle between academic superpowers Harvard and Stanford. Here’s everything you need to know about the Pac-12’s second ever China game.

It’s a big initiative for the Ali Sports division and provides the Pac-12 schools a chance to recruit mainland students. The game will air live in America on ESPN and provides an authentic college basketball atmosphere with crowds raucously supporting their alma mater.

It’s not that more is necessarily better, but it is at least increasingly diverse… But with approximately 70 fashion shows and presentations, 10 showrooms and tradeshows, and countless events in Shanghai alone you still need to sort through the noise. So here’s a roundup of my favorite parts of Fashion Week in Beijing and Shanghai so you know what to look out for next season.

Beijing's Fashion Now So let’s start at the beginning. Fashion Now, something of an alternative fashion week, was held on October 10-11 in Beijing. It’s only two days so it is highly curated, and I know I’ll only see top-notch designers there. -

Grime’s not popular in Japan yet, but it’s starting. I was in London when it felt like there were only 30 people doing this. Then it became 200 people making grime actively, then 300, 500, 1,000.

The easiest way to make a day-to-day living is through PLAYING shows. But the best way of progressing artistically and spiritually is through making music and records – spreading them as far as possible.

For the past six years Shen’s works have increasingly incorporated other art forms like large- scale multimedia work, as well as original art creations spanning video and animation. He’s happy that contemporary dance audiences have grown in China but notes time is important for the art form to being fully accepted. “I think audiences still confuse entertainment and art,” he admits. “They need to realize that the latter is created to inspire self-im- provement, rather than pleasing the public.”
