Popular Transportation | Other Transportation Tips | All Tips (11) DONKEY CARTS
One of the nicest ways to spend an evening after the heat of the day has passed is to rent a donkey cart and take a tour of the countryside south of town, a world of dusty tracks, vineyards, wheat fields, shady poplars, running streams and incredibly friendly, smiling people. You are unlikely to encounter many more tranquil rural settings than this in China. It's easy to arrange a tour from any donkey-cart driver around John's Cafe; for a tour lasting an hour or more, two or three people might pay around ´10-15 each. John's also offers bike rental for ´1.5 per hour, which works out slightly cheaper than the hotels' rates. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

TRAIN
When travelling by train, buy First Class always. There is not a big price difference and the coaches are much more comfortable than those in 2nd class. The curtains, sheets... are all embroided and immaculate clean. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The most easy, cheap and convenient way to travel around in China is by train. The network covers almost every cities of the country. To get there, you can take the train originating from Beijing, Shanghai, Xian or Lanzhou. It takes about three days from Beijing to Urumqi. It may be a bit long, but I do think it is worth trying since you can meet people from different places of China, talk to them, discuss with them and I am sure you will learn alot about China.
Within Urumqi, it is suggested to take taxi or simply rent a car for one or two days such that you can visit more sites within a limited time. It is also cheap to take a taxi. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

You can travel from east to west by Railway in XinJiang. It is comparatively faster and more safety than by motor car. If you could book a bed seat, your journey could be really a comfortable one. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Fly to Urumqi is the best, but you could go there by train. It will take your 67 hours to go there and now it down to 54 hours from shanghai.

There are two bus stations in Urumqi, one is for buses to Northern Xinjiang, and the other is to Southern Xinjiang. Before departure, make it clear your destination’s location. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

We flew from Urumqi to Kashgar with China Southern. The airport is clean and modern, the plane left on time and arrived on time - I couldn't fault the service. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

As the CITS office in the Lonely Planet Guide is long gone, the best place to get your railway ticket is in the Railway Booking Office at the office alongside the Leiyuan Binguan at the far end of the street that is almost opposite the Holiday Inn.
Booking a railway ticket is just way below the dignity of the witless lady in the Holiday Inn business centre. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
