Chinese people with caucasian features...?

On my vacation in China, I happened to bump into a group of chinese people that looked NOTHING like chinese. There was a girl with blonde hair blue eyes (shaped asian) and a couple of brunettes with caucasian complexion. I thought they were maybe caucasian people that were born in China but they are not, they have chinese in their blood and most of them are muslim. They look like white people...but they're chinese? What are they and where are they from...how did they end up looking like that?

China has over 50 ethnic groups, although the vast majority of Chinese are Han. Some groups living in the southwest of China are Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and Kyrgyz, who are Turkic peoples. They may not look very "Chinese" at all, because they are more closely related to Causasian Middle Eastern people. They are all Muslims, which further proves the migration from the southwest.

"Uyghur" is pronounced WEE-gur

Mixed race

"Mixed race"

I was thinking the same thing. They're interracial like Kristin Kreuk or Dean Cain. It's also possible that they've simply worn contacts and dyed their hair.

In a remote Chinese desert, archaeologists have unearthed mummies that are thousands of years old and completely misplaced in this part of the world. These mysterious mummies are Caucasian, with European facial features, including some that had blond hair and blue eyes. Where did they come from? Dr. Spencer Wells, National Geographic explorer-in-residence, goes on a mission to use advanced technology to decode the genetic identity of of these unusually well-preserved mummies.

Don't you live on planet Earth? They're MIXED! duhhh

they are Eastern Europeans or people East of the Caucasion Mountains (in Russia). There is a bit of Mongolian mixed in as well.

The Berbers, the original occupants in Morocco came from that region. I myself could well be classed as a leftover from Genghis Khan, having been born in Eastern Europe, and don't forget he ruled as far as Europe at one stage. So you would see a definite Chinese and European mix.

It's called blonde hair dye and blue contacts. It's not hard to find those things. Also the brunettes might have been mixed. Did you ever think of that?
