SteelCity32 February 10th, 2003, 10:21 PM It's small. But a pretty good skyline for a city I've never heard of.
5.5/10
schmidt February 11th, 2003, 08:45 AM For such an ISOLATED city: 10/10
World standard: 8/10
So I rate it 9/10 :D
X-seed 4000 February 11th, 2003, 11:40 AM Ehh... 5.5/10
mystad February 11th, 2003, 05:52 PM Is this in Xinjiang? Or am I on crack?
renell February 11th, 2003, 08:21 PM the skylines full of of weird shaped scrapers.. 6.5 for being different, not having the aparment blokes
schmidt February 11th, 2003, 08:35 PM It's in Northwestern China, close to Novorosibirsk, Khazakistan and Mongolia
huaiwei February 12th, 2003, 12:07 AM this can rise from a desert?? Gosh! I rate it higher simply because of this! :)
Ptarmigan February 20th, 2003, 06:11 AM Urumqi, China, the most landlocked city in the world. The nearest coastline is 1,500 miles to the south, which is Bay of Bengal.
Urumqi's Population:1,039,400
no pics !
Tony 175 February 20th, 2003, 06:41 AM The skyline looks pretty weird. i give it a 6.5. :baaa:
Pablo February 20th, 2003, 03:20 PM i did not expect that urumqi has many buildings.BTW its name is awesome :D

ti999 March 15th, 2003, 06:52 PM I never heard of this city before. But looks like the skyline is pretty big. Though they need to add some nice looking skyscrapers.
Caledon1981 March 15th, 2003, 07:40 PM nah. . . .all the continental Chinese skylines look the same. . .. like big amusement parks. . .5/10
renell March 20th, 2003, 06:59 PM they have some weird scrapers there but unlike other Chinese cities there's really no focal point of the skyline
Swede March 20th, 2003, 09:08 PM I had heard of this city before, though we up here spell it Ürümqi:)
I'll give it 5.5/10
ryanr March 21st, 2003, 12:00 AM Its pretty crowded/dense! but nothing that impresses me too much...5.5/10

TropicalSQ744 April 19th, 2003, 06:28 PM I don't like some of the buildings there but the skyline is definately pretty good...
7.5/10
fox1 July 1st, 2003, 07:09 AM i've been pretty close to this city. the third pic cracks me up. it's so chinese. you see those blue trucks all over that country of 1.4 billion. it's a pretty wild skyline too, for a crazy backward corner of china. it looks ok but it's a bland city, with lots of problems... mainly that the chinese are there in the first place. Xinjiang is not really chinese in real terms... it is more like east turkestan.
6/10

interesting skyline.

Some Buildings are nice. I like how whoever made it had a nice, childish imagenation :colgate:
ParraMan January 12th, 2004, 02:36 AM 6.5
Pretty much what I expected from this city (always knew of it but nice to put a pic to the name now). Individual buildings are looking ugly, and highrises a bit too spread out, overall buildings though look dense.
Big! January 12th, 2004, 07:47 PM 7/10
SeeMacau May 22nd, 2004, 04:03 PM The skyline is quite good for an isolated city ... 8/10

Accura4Matalan May 2nd, 2005, 02:57 PM Looks like a nice vibrant place. I'll give it a 7.
SoboleuS May 3rd, 2005, 01:09 AM Not bad for a city situated in so isolated region ;) 7,5/10
MattSal May 3rd, 2005, 01:22 AM Good height and density, even for a Chinese city. I give it a 7/10.
innoncent_monster May 3rd, 2005, 10:44 AM Nothing spectacular . 6/10

Franky January 15th, 2006, 08:49 PM It looks pretty alien to me, like most Chinese cities do. It's got a pretty nice skyline for a city I have no idea how to pronounce. Before viewing this thread, I always imagined Xinjiang as only desert nomads living in felt tents and travelling with their livestock. I rate 9/10.

Very futuristic, and is very isolated in like the middle of the mountains and such.
Kiss the Rain April 13th, 2006, 11:42 AM 7/10
looks just like another mid size chinese city, actually the province of xinjiang is not all that scarely populated, much more dense than tibet as xinjiang's elavation is lower.
and one thing i dont like about towers in chinese city is that many of them seems to have a "circular disc" on top of them, not sure how everybody else feels about it but i personally dont quite like it.
Assurbanipal April 13th, 2006, 09:26 PM Not so bad, but not the best as well. 6,5/10

LMCA1990 September 9th, 2006, 09:57 AM 7/10- ugly buildings, but nicely developed for such a remote city.

乌鲁木齐市在全新疆地区生产总值及其它各项经济指标中占在四分之一以上的比重，人均GDP超过4000美元。在中国西部12个首府、省会城市中，综合竞争实力位居前列，被誉为“中国西部明珠”。

文化独具特色。新疆古称西域，历史上乌鲁木齐就是古丝绸之路新北道上的重镇，东西方经济文化的交流中心，是西方文化和中国文化的荟萃之地，呈现出多元文化的特质，其特点是开放、热情、豪爽和奋进，是中亚地区最具活力的城市。

乌鲁木齐市北有准东油田，西有克拉玛依油田，南有塔里木油田，东有吐哈油田，且地处准噶尔储煤带的中部，市辖区内煤炭储量就达100亿吨以上，被称为“油海上的煤船”。此外还蕴藏丰富的各种有色、稀有的矿产资源。境内天山冰川和永久性积雪被称为“天然固体水库”。山区有繁茂的天然森林和天然草场，可利用的野生植物300余种。光、热和风能资源也极为丰富，有亚洲最大风力发电厂。这些自然资源，为乌鲁木齐的经济发展奠定了坚实的基础。

区位优势明显。乌鲁木齐是中国连接中亚地区乃至欧洲的陆路交通枢纽，现已成为中国扩大向西开放、开展对外经济文化交流的重要窗口。在世界商贸发达城市所占有的沿海、沿边、沿河、沿线四大地理要素中，乌鲁木齐即占沿边之利，又得沿线之益，这是新疆、也是乌鲁木齐在西部大开发中最大的地理优势。特别是随着新亚欧大陆桥的全线贯通，乌鲁木齐作为新亚欧大陆桥中国短的西桥头堡，在中国西部乃至中亚经济发展中的地位和作用日益增强。乌鲁木齐机场为中国五大门户机场之一，已开通国际、国内、区内航线100多条。

http://www.beijingupdates.com/forum/UploadFile/2008-7/200872413163573548.jpg
旅游业发达。乌鲁木齐自然风光优美，天山山脉分布着高山冰雪景观、山地森林景观、草原景观，为游客观光、探险提供了丰富的内容，各民族的文化艺术、风情习俗，构成了具有民族特色的旅游人文景观。新疆国际大巴扎、新疆民街、二道桥民族风情一条街等带有浓郁新疆民俗风情的景区景点，享誉国内外。丝绸之路冰雪风情游，丝绸之路服装服饰节等带有丝绸之路文化特色的节庆会展活动，已成为乌鲁木齐特有的城市名片。

产业结构比较合理。乌鲁木齐第三产业（流通服务业）较为发达，在GDP中所占的比重为61.5%。乌鲁木齐拥有百余家星级酒店，三星以上达到60余家，其中五星级酒店8家，拥有完善的服务业和完备的基础设施，为世界各地的客商创造了良好的投资合作环境；拥有健全的商贸流通体系，进出口贸易较为发达。
