Xinjiang

Although many movies have been filmed in Xinjiang as their feature site, none of them have embraced all characteristics of Xinjiang with the exception of the movieWarriors of Heaven and Earth. As the largest Chinese administrative division it spans over 1.6 million kilometers. Xinjiang borders many countries, including Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

It is home to a variety of ethnic minorities including the Uyghur, Kazakh, Hui, Kyrgyz and Mongol. In the movie, we see the well preserved primitive animal group and plants, grand glacier, overlapping splendid mountains, spectacular waterfalls and rivers as well as interesting local customs and clothing. The picturesque scenery and unique local culture attracted millions of visitors to come to Xinjiang every year.
