The Urumqi skyline as seen from Hong shan park
Urumqi Cityscape, Xinjiang, China

I’m not sure how he did it, but photographer Didier Marti was somehow able to make Xinjiang’s dirtiest, most polluted and densly populated city look beautiful.  In the foreground you can see the capital’s Hong Shan Park, a great place to relax and take your own cityscape picture.  For more great travel photos please check out Mr. Marti’s flickr photo page.
