A 350m long 10m wide road divides the ruins of this Old town into two parts. 2-3 hours are enough to see it and I think the best time is in the afternoon in the setting sun. Travel by local bus no. 1 or 101 to 亚尔乡 an then take taxi/mini van/or pedicab to the place.

The average temperature is -5C in Urumqi' November. So, at that time, if it snows, the temperature will be -7 to -9C. Summer (July, August and September) is the best time to visit Urumqi.

You should make which airport you are looking for, Urumqi Airport (URC) or Kashgar Airport (KHG). Xinjiang is not a city but a lage region.
