You may go to the Mogao Caves, Sanwei Mountain, Echoing-Sand Mountain and Shazhou Market there.
Day 03: Dunhuang
You are advised to charter a car to visit Dunhuang Ancient Town, West Thousand-Buddha Cave, Yangguan Pass, Hecang, Yumenguan Pass, Great Wall of Han Dynasty and Yardang National Geopark.

From the GS Provincial Museum to Yellow River Mother Sculpture: You can take bus no. 31, no.58 or no.18 at the Qilihe Bridge Bus Stop to Xihu Park Bus Stop. Upon arrival, you can just walk along the Xiao Xihu to the destination.
From the Yellow River Mother Sculpture to Dazhong Street: You can take bus no.25 at the Yellow River Mother Bus Stop and get off at the North Crossing of Yongchang Road Bus Stop. Then walk ahead for 100 yards to the street.
From Dazhong Street to Zhongshan Bridge: You can take bus no.74 to the South Chengguan Huanghe Bridge Bus Stop. Then you may walk around 130 yards to the destination.
From Zhongshan Bridge to Waterwheel Garden: You can take bus no.20 at the City Hall Bus Stop to the Waterwheel Garden Bus Stop directly.
From the Waterwheel Garden to White Pagoda Mountain Park: You can take bus no.20 to the White Pagoda Mountain Park directly.
From Lanzhou to Dunhuang: You can take a direct train at the railway station to Dunhuang. The train usually leaves at 17:00, 17:54, 19:09 and 19:30.
You are advised to charter a car to travel in Dunhuang.
From Dunhuang to Jiangyuguan: You can also take a train to go there. It usually departs at 15:00, 15:22, 18:35, 18:55, 19:40, 20:07 and 22:53 with the duration of around 4.5 hours.
People usually rent a car to travel around Jiayuguan.
From Jiayuguan to Zhangye: You are advised to take a high speed train at the South Jiayuguan Railway Station to West Zhangye Railway Station. There are many trains operating during 12:25 to 19:10. The duration is around 1.5 hours.
You may need to charter a car in Zhangye, because it could be a little far among the attractions.

Hello, and thank you so much for this itinerary. I am also going there in October but for a whole month and although landing in Lanzhou, i would like to visit Xinjiang as well as Ningxia. The chinese consulate told me that I cannot go to Xinjiang unless I am part of a group.( actually i had booked a flight to Urumqui and I cancelled it - with high fees-- because I thought these restrictions only existed for Tibet. Nowhere on the internet did i read anything like that concerning Xinjiang.
They told me that I would not be allowed to step out of the airport alone without a group in Urumqui and I was wondering, could I go by train or bus? because reading people comments they say that the Chinese do not like it that you want to go to Xinjiang when you apply for a visa, but then it does not matter( only Tibet being the group issue) thank you for any help
Greetings
Laura

Hi, Laura! It’s really strange, since my friends and I went to Xinjiang last October, and we didn’t join any tour group. I think you’d better check it out with others.
