About This Quote
The Uyghurs are a people in the far western part of China who have lived in their homeland for thousands of years. They are one of the most ancient cultures in the world, dating back to at least 3000 BC. They are called the "Marco Polo of China" because they lived in their own little communities all around China, even during the time that Marco Polo was traveling through China. At that time, the Chinese did not know they existed. The Chinese thought they were some kind of fairy.
