When we say that “Sino-Pakistan friendship is higher than mountains”, it refers to the Karakoram Mountains between Xinjiang and Pakistan. Last year, the number of domestic and international tourists in Xinjiang exceeded 150 million, an increase of more than 40percent. Xinjiang has a population of 25 million and hosts all 56 ethnic groups in China such as Uygur, Han, Kazakh, Hui, Kirgiz, Mongolian, Tajik, etc. The people of all ethnic groups hold together like pomegranate seeds, cherishing national unity as much as their own lives. During the training, customs and habits of different ethnic groups and different religions are respected.
