Hi, Frankie! I think 2 days needs to be spent in Dunhuang and 2 days in Urumqi. Here is the itinerary:Day 1: Ancient Dunhuang Town, Thousand-Buddha Cave, Yumen Pass, Han Great Wall, and Demon Castle in Yadan. Day 2: Mingshan Mountain and Mogao Caves. Take a night train to Liuyuan at 19:18 and transfer to a train to Urumqi.Day 3: Heavenly LakeDay 4: Tianshan Canyon.
