I'm Hassan from Pakistan. I think this site is the best source to get information. Actually my friend and me have to attend a conference in Beijing in August and willing to travel to Beijing by train from Kashi as Kashi is the closest city to Pakistan Border. We are travelling by bus from Islamabad to Sost Border. I need your help from border till beijing. I just need to know that what is is best source of travel from border to Kashgar and what will be the fairs? Do you recommend to travel by train from Kashi to Urumqi or there is any other rout as well and what are the train fairs from Kashgar to Urmuqi. Again how much train fairs we have to pay from Urmuqi to Beijing and how much time train takes from Kashi to Beijing? Lastly how early the tickets must be purchased before departure time? Do you recommend Hard or soft seats or slippers? If you know any Less expensive hotels in Beijing please do let me know? Please do facilitate me with the information. I will be very thankful to you. Your early response will be appreciated.

Hassan
