Gujangbagh lies in southern Xinjiang on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, in the oasis belt along the northern foot of the Kunlun mountains. Settlement here follows the water, so the built-up area sits among irrigated fields and poplar windbreaks rather than open desert.
The interest of the area is the oasis landscape itself and the long history of the southern Silk Road that ran through this belt. Local bazaars are the centre of daily life and are busiest in the morning, and the desert and mountain edges are both within reach of the settled area.
Local buses and shared vehicles connect the settlements along the oasis road, and distances between them are longer than they appear. Travel in this region can require permits or documentation checks, so it is worth confirming current requirements in advance.
The climate is extremely dry and continental, with very hot summers and cold winters. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable, though spring brings frequent dust in the air off the desert.
China uses the CNY, calling code +86.
China uses the renminbi, quoted in yuan, and Mandarin is the official language with Uyghur widely spoken in southern Xinjiang. Mobile payment dominates, and modest dress is appreciated in the more traditional parts of the oasis.
