Xinjiang really needs to upgrade their tourism infrastructure urgently, this passing summer tons of tourists complain about no place to stay at night when traveling in Xinjiang, everywhere was fully booked and many had to sleep in their cars or even on the streets. Some local police officers got heaps of praise on the social media by taking the travelers to their own houses during the night.
In the first 7 months, Xinjiiang received 140 million tourists ( Xinjiang's total population is 25.8 million), tourism income $20USD billion

New way to make money, now in Xinjiang tourists pay "red envelope" ( Gift money ), can join the local weddings
So smart, if a couple have a wedding everyday, in one month they can become multi millionaires. Dumb tourists are willing to pay thousands in line to just experience one
Millions of tourists complain traveling in Xinjiang is super expensive and some say getting ripped off.
