It's Urumqi, this is why I say you guys know very little about what you are talking about.
They did visited several places in Xinjiang, but the cover image is Urumqi, the one that gives people the impression of an empty city. why they use Urumqi city as the video cover to make their point?
You don't know there's no HSR railway between Urumqi and Kashgar? You believe every Chinese remote, frontier border city and town is connected with High Speed Rails? just so dumb, do you know how big China is?
You can choose a cover image on youtube, I also upload videos and I always choose the cover images by myself. and that is not a random video, it's a carefully edited one, don't be so dumb to insist on something that you yourself know is not true.
