Although the Chinese sense of practicality can sometimes be quite humorous, i am posting this photo to demonstrate the mixture of cultures (Turkic Uighur with their turkic language and arabic script and Chinese Han with their Mandarin language and script) in Xinjiang. The English, of course, is added, as needed for tourists; this sign indicated the best place to stand to take a photo of a palace. Most signs in Xinjiang are in the two scripts.
