While hitchhiking with Chinese people works just as well as anywhere else in China, hitching with Uyghur people is more similar to [[Central Asia]]: They will be very likely to stop, but they will also be very likely to expect some money from you. While many will just stop, ask "How much?" and drive off if you say "nothing", some of them will just pick you up, say nothing, be friendly all the time and at the destination suddenly ask for money, often ridiculously high amounts. That said, it's very important to make it clear that you don't want to pay, before entering a car.
Uyghur people do not understand Chinese language and use Arabic writing system. [[User:z-z-z88|z-z-z88]] ([[User talk:z-z-z88|talk]]) found this hitchhiking plate on some Russian forum and it worked well:
I am traveling by hitchhiking. I have small amount of money and spend it on necessary things only, for example on food.
我搭顺车旅行。我没有多钱，所以这笔钱用最需要的东西，比如食品。
