URUMQI, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- The number of tourists to northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region exceeded 200 million from January to October this year, up 42.62 percent year on year, local authorities said.

The tourism revenue in the first 10 months of 2019 reached 341.73 billion yuan (about 48.7 billion U.S. dollars), up 43.39 percent from the same period last year, reaching a record high, according to the regional culture and tourism department.

With diverse ethnic culture and unique landscapes, Xinjiang has vowed to build itself into a popular destination for tourists from home and abroad.

A series of measures have been taken, such as improving infrastructure construction, tackling parking problems and ensuring stable mobile phone signals for tourists.

"Winter is coming, and Xinjiang will enrich winter tourism products and ensure smooth traffic flow to attract more tourists to enjoy the beautiful winter scenery of Xinjiang," said Wu Feng, head of the Association of Xinjiang Travel Service.

Good thing is that the western 24/7 propaganda campaign against China over Xinjiang actually put Xinjiang in the map, we can hope for more tourism to Xinjiang from around the world in the coming years.

This is a good step, China needs to do more of this to counter-act the western narrative which is designed to derail OBOR. I don't know if China is stupid enough to do what it is being accused of, but it needs to take the accusations seriously. They are becoming mainstream opinion. A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.

A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.

Not always, the west had been telling Tibetan lies for millions of times, CIA even funded Tibetan rebels in the 1960's and 1970's, Dalai Lama himself was on CIA payroll back then, but how they get now? Nothing but a dying Dalai Lama.
