Located near the mystical Tian Shan Mountain (Mountain of Heaven), the city is considered the first homeland of the Turks. The traffic is very busy in Urumqi, like in China, which is the third largest country in the world in terms of surface area and the first in terms of the population. Because the standards of living are low, bus is the commonly used option for passenger transportation.

There are three bus terminals in the city. Taxis also operate to disburden the heavy traffic in the city. There is railway connection from Urumqi to the six major cities of China. Urumqi Diwopu Airport provides transportation opportunity to passengers who want to come to Urumqi from abroad and from other cities of the country.

There are important rules that you have to pay attention to according to the Chinese laws when you get on a taxi. For example, if you do not close the door when you get in the car, the taxi driver has the right to drop you from the car. You shouldn’t smoke or chat with the driver, should pay the fare completely and get a receipt when you get off. Because if you lose something in the car, you cannot submit a bill of complaint without a receipt. However, the taxi stops located at terminals 2 and 3 offer service for 24 hours.
