And I need more information about bus connections at the end of August: is it possible that due to sandstorms buses from Hotan to Kuqa will be suspended? Is there any other way to choose in such a case? The same question for connections from Kuqe to Turfan!Thank you very much

As I know, buses might be suspended due to heavy sandstorms. You can take a train to Kuqa (about 15 hours). Also, you can travel by train from Kuqa to Turfan (6 to 10 hours). :)

Thank you very much! Are there also train?

Yes! You can take a train. A single trip takes about 15 hours.

Great, thank you. Do you know the timetable or if there's a nigh train?

Yes! The train to Kuqa departs at 16:13 daily from Hetian Railway Station, and it reaches Kuqa at 07:22 on the next morning. The train to Hetian departs at 22:32 daily from Kuqa Railway Station, and it arrives at Hotan at 13:26 the next day. By the way, a hard seat costs CNY 112.5; a hard sleeper costs CNY 218.5; a soft sleeper costs CNY 362.5. :)

Thank you so much, Susan!! I really appreciate... If I need some more information I will write again!Thank you :-)
