how do I get from Ningbo to Kashgar on a fast train? How long will it take? where do I book?

There is no diect train between the two places and you need to transfer twice to reach Kashgar.
You need to transfer at Hangzhou and Urumqi and in total, you need about 55 hours on the train.
From NB, you can take need to take a bus or a train to reach Hangzhou Railway Station, where you can take train K594/K595 to reach Umuqi and then change to take train K9786/K9787, 7556/7557 and 5826/5827.

Thanks Sunny, I thought there were fast trains from NB to Beijing, Beining to Urumpi and Urumpi. Surely this wouldn't take 55 hours.

are there flights from NB to Kashgar? when, what, how and how much?
