Xinjiang’s Capital Urumqi | China's Most Secret City 4K | Sunset Drive

SZ Bay RoadTour: Urumqi Xinjiang 4K winter sunset drive in China, world’s most remote city from the sea, inland China cityscape, Central Asia metropolis—this journey captures a rare downtown winter dusk in one of the planet’s most isolated metropolis landscapes. As daylight fades over Urumqi, capital of China’s Xinjiang region, I begin a cold-season sunset drive through the heart of this famed Central Asian city. Starting in the Jixiangyuan community in Saybagh District, the route passes Urumqi People’s Park and crosses Xida Bridge, before entering Tianshan District. Here, the glow of Guangming Road lights up the winter air, with Hongshan New Century Shopping Plaza and CC Mall Times Plaza standing as the district’s vibrant landmarks. The drive ends along the lively food street of Jianquan Third Street—warm lights, rising steam, and the pulse of Urumqi at dusk.

2022 Ürümqi fire
On 24 November 2022, a fire broke out in a residential high-rise apartment building in a Uyghur-majority neighborhood in Ürümqi, Xinjiang, China. Local authorities reported ten people, all Uyghurs, were dead and an additional nine were injured, though some raised concerns of underreporting.

Since August 2022, COVID-19 has spread to many parts of Xinjiang, and the local government had formulated several epidemic prevention policies in response, such as lockdowns and mandatory testing. Before the fire, the Jixiangyuan community (Chinese: 吉祥苑社区) where the accident occurred was designated a "low-risk area".

After the fire, vigils and protests were held in Xinjiang, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Beijing, criticizing the PRC government's zero-COVID policy, with some calling on CCP general secretary Xi Jinping to resign. Members of the public criticized the government's excessive epidemic prevention laws, which they suspect prevented firefighters from arriving at the scene.

In the former French Concession neighborhood of Shanghai, Wulumuqi M Rd (The Pinyin for Urumqi M Rd) protesters mourned the victims of the fire. They called for an end to the zero-COVID policy and for Xi Jinping to step down as leader.

In Beijing and Nanjing, protesters held up blank pieces of paper to mourn the victims of the fire as well as criticize the government's censorship policies. Protests also occurred at universities and colleges such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Sun Yat-sen University.
