Hello Travel China Guide

We are coming from Beijing and heading to Urumqi.

Where should we stop on the way. Is it better to fly directly to Dunhuang or start in Langhou? If we stop in Dunhuang is it better to fly to Urumqi and from there come back by car and visit TP, sleep there and go back by car to Urumqi. The train station in Dunhuang seems to be a problem. Also we do not want to spend a night in the train.

Tks for your advice

Roger and Annatina

Dear Roger,

You may fly to Dunhuang first (about 3.5 hours). After touring around, you may fly to Urumqi (about 1.5 hours). Afterwards, you may take a bullet train to shuttle between Urumqi and TP (about 1 hour). May you have a great trip!
