Questions & Answers on Urumqi Train Schedule

Asked by Zain from PAKISTAN | Jun. 05, 2023 02:41

I want travel plan from tashkurgan to qingdao

Answers (1)

Answered by Andrew | Jun. 06, 2023 02:28

There is no direct train or bus between the two cities and the distance is too far, about 5,000 km. You need to take a coach from Tashkurgan first. It departs from 09:00 to 15:00 with an interval of an hour. Then it is suggested to take a flight from Kashgar to Qingdao and you may need to transfer in Lanzhou. The whole travel time by plane is about 7 hours.

How much is ticket price to Dunhuang?

We are two passengers.

Answered by Ronnie from SINGAPORE | Jul. 05, 2019 01:07

I did not see there is direct train from Urumqi to Dunhuang. Maybe you need to go to Yumen first. The price depends on the seat class and train. Generally speaking, it should be around CNY300 to 400 per person.

Thank you for your inquiry.
These trains depart from Urumqi Station, the one you mentioned at No. 1, North 6th Gaotie Road, Toutunhe District. They do not stop at South Station. You can buy the ticket at South Station but you can only board from this Urumqi Station. Hope this can help you!
