Don't know why they choose to live in and around a big city, this may cause problems to both the cats and Urumqi city fellows.

Stunning Snow Mountain city, Urumqi, Xinjiang, the city which is the farthest from any oceans and the closest to the glaciers in the world. A True city of the most extremes.​


Urumqi, the farthest city from any oceans and closest to the glaciers in the world, sitting at the foot of Tianshan mountain chain, has the best snow mountain view all year around.
Urumqi is approximately 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) from the Bay of Bengal, in the Indian Ocean and it is in mountainous country. The municipality is located to the west and north of the eastern Tian Shan (“shan” means mountain). The highest peak in the range is Bogda Peak, at approximately 17,900 feet . The peak is about 36 miles from the urban core of Urumqi (58 kilometers).

In summer, every weekend many urban Urumqiers make a short trip to explore The Bogda Glacier in Urumqi, hofefully they don't disturb the snow leopards in these mountains

Why Urumqi is so clean? The world top class garbage treatment facilities, garbage being converted to power to supply the city.

Snow leopards usually avoid humans not to mention they are rare and hard to spot.

But they thrive in and around Urumqi, this is something strange, maybe food is more abundant near a big city.
