Xinjiang has a long history. The area was called Xiyu in ancient China which means "West Region". It was plundered by the Huns before the Han Dynasty. During the Western Han Dynasty, Xinjiang was treated as an integral part of the nation's territory. Since then, Xinjiang was governed by all successive dynasties. As a province, Xinjiang is famous for its fruit including; grapes, hami melon, almonds, pomegranates, figs, peaches, apples and much more.
