Urumqi Map. Sweet!
I wish somebody had thought to make an interactive online map of Urumqi (乌鲁木齐) a few years ago. It would have been more useful to me, personally, when I was still living in Xinjiang. In any case, the boys over at The New Dominion have created something of great use to the hordes of tourists who'll be passing through Urumqi this summer.
Now if they just add some pinyin addresses, almost anyone will be able to make their way around a city where I still somehow get north confused with south.

Here are some maps that I found useful.
As for as finding hotels, I recommend going to the Fubar when you arrive and asking Jonathan where the best deals are. If you arrive in the morning before they open, the Kempinski offers luxury rooms up the road (Hetan lu?) for less than 250 yuan.
