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.
