I need to update this list. The primary reason they were left off in the first place is because at the time I didn't want the government to block my website in China - and there's no faster way to get on the naughty list than to link to sites like that. Now that I've been blocked in China for years now, there's no need to worry about that anymore! You’re absolutely right. I need to update this list.

Now that I’ve been blocked in China for years now, there’s no need to worry about that anymore!

Your site provides some of the most in-depth information on that part of Xinjiang available anywhere - in print or electronic form. For anybody who enjoys looking at photos, I recommend the CAT Flickr account, which I absent-mindedly left out of this post. I've used one of these photos for the "Picture of the Week" series before and I'll probably do so again. Good stuff. Thanks Cat!

As I have expressed before privately, I very much respect and enjoy and appreciate your wonderful blog. Your readers may also want to make note of my companion Flickr site, http://www.flickr.com/photos/centralasiatraveler/, which includes all the pictures and maps from the website -- and more -- and at much higher resolution. Sure wish I had the time to update the information at my site -- and to travel to Xinjiang again in order to do so! If only... However, the more-than-one-hundred pages of text and several hundred photos at my site were not meant to be a blog but rather more of a book. I specifically focused on a part of Xinjiang then barely mentioned in guidebooks, the southern Silk Road in Xinjiang and northwestern Qinghai. In the past couple of years, I have been pleased to see, this area now has coverage in many guidebooks as well as blogs. -- Cat Josh,

Xinjiang is so unique, in the people, the region, the politics, and the possibility of being a major player in domestic change throughout the largest country in the world. Our goal as bloggers is to share our thoughts and frustrations, but we are doing more than that, we are bringing awareness to a relatively obscure, yet important, region of the world.

Please keep doing what you do.
