Kashgar and Urumqi are indeed both cities in the same neck of the woods, and they both now operate on the same time. In the past, though, they used different times so they get separate entries in the time zone database.

Right, but then I am still confused, because the questions make, to me at least, little sense when asked like this. Maybe it is just me of course. So my apologies if I am not understanding correctly. Because if you ask "the name of the city with ... in Asia/Urumqi" it basically asks for a city in a city. Urumqi is, according to the census data I looked at, the largest city for both Han and Uyghur populations in the Xinjiang Uyghur AR. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B Trying to fool myself with Dreams that never come true...
