Urumqi Nightlife & Xinjiang Street Food Adventure
Jack and Paige's Xinjiang food adventure: delicious samsa, quirky nightlife, and budget-friendly stay. A memorable culinary and cultural journey!
Urumqi, Xinjiang, China - Jack and Paige explored the North West region of China and delved deeper into the culture of this autonomous region. We decided to explore the nightlife of Urumqi and started with a street food hunt. Jack practiced some Uyghur language and we ate a sesame chicken leg cooked in a traditional tandoori oven. After learning some new Uyghur words, we moved on to the samsa. The lamb parcels were some of the best street food we've ever eaten. Afterward, we tried some questionable fish on a stick and chicken hearts. It was a culinary adventure as we prepared for a night out. After putting the wrong destination into DiDi, we ended up 11 miles away from Urumqi city and deep in the suburbs where we found a strange nightclub in an industrial estate. The club was beautiful but the vibe was strange. After ordering a drink, they told us we had to pay £250 to stay. We left and found a jazz bar where we enjoyed handcrafted cocktails. Finally, we show you what a £25 per night hotel looks like in Xinjiang, China.

This video by Jack Aynsley Travel documents his experiences exploring the street food and nightlife of Urumqi, Xinjiang. Jack and Paige started their culinary adventure with a visit to a Kawaii-style convenience store, highlighting the blend of international brands and local products available. Their street food journey began at a bustling local market, where they sampled a unique sesame chicken leg cooked in a tandoor oven for just £1.00. They engaged with local vendors, attempting to learn some Uyghur phrases along the way, showcasing their immersive approach to travel. Next, they tried samsas, traditional Uyghur pastries filled with flavorful lamb, noting the soft, fluffy bread and crunchy base. Their adventurous spirits led them to sample more unusual street food, including a mysterious deep-fried fish and chicken hearts, which, despite Jack's initial apprehension, turned out to be surprisingly palatable.
