Both are subtropical. Nashville is humid subtropical and Turpan is subtropical desert. I guess Nashville is a more “typical” subtropical climate so I’d vote for it.

I think Nashville would feel more subtropical to me, because the summers are plenty hot enough to feel subtropical even if they're cooler than Turpan's, and the winters are much milder.

Nashville. Both are more continental IMO - Turpan is a continental desert and Nashville is "warm continental". But Nashville comes closer to "subtropical" in my mind. A 3 C mean in the coldest month vs -7 C is pretty significant. Latitude is another factor due to sun strength and winter daylight hours. Nashville is at 36 N vs Turpan's 43 N, so Nashville wins on that score. But, ultimately, in this case it mainly comes down to rainfall. Turpan is too dry to qualify as "classic" subtropical. And if it had Nashville's rainfall, summers would be much cooler (like Beijing... or Nashville, LOL).

Nashville
Even though Nashville is a thousandfold more "subtropical" than Turpan, it's still not properly subtropical. Nashville's winters are still far too cold to qualify for a true subtropical climate.
Gunnedah NSW @ 31° S, is an example of a proper subtropical climate. Notice the difference? Winters are actually mild, unlike those of Nashville.

They are both continental climates. One is just a more extreme variety than the other.

Nashville would feel more subtropical, though both are more continental than subtropical to me.

Winters are actually mild, unlike those of Nashville. Yes, plus it has a latitude under 35 degrees and a mean temp over 18 C. If more people accepted this strict definition of subtropical, a lot of arguing could be avoided. |

Nashville = Humid Subtropical (Frost-free ground most of winter, hot-summer)
Turpan = Cold(Mid-latitude) desert with hot-summer continental temperature range

Turpan clearly has a continental temperature pattern, with an arid precipitation pattern (Both non subtropical)
Nashville IMO BARELY qualifies as subtropical, although it fits the Koppen definition. Nashville's annual minimum is nearly 0F which makes it a cold subtropical climate.
