People of different ethnic groups in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have full freedom to choose their religious beliefs.

For thousands of years, Xinjiang has been a multi-ethnic region where multiple religion beliefs have existed.

In its Changji City, within the area of less than five square kilometers, a mosque, a temple, and a church stand side by side.

Every citizen living in the city enjoys the freedom to choose whether to believe in a religion or not.

Like in Changji, residents in other regions of Xinjiang are also free to decide on their religious beliefs.

To be a believer or to be a non-believer or to believe in a certain religion doesn't affect their living in harmony and working together with others to build their homes.
