Bus to Tianshan Grand Canyon, Urümqi Southern Pastures, Karakul Lake, Turpan tourist attractions

Anyone knows the up-to-date timetable for the buses from Urümqi to Tianshan Grand Canyon and Southern Pastures this July? Both ways please.
I also need to know if there are buses (which foreigners can take because apparently at some point it wasn't possible anymore?) from Kashgar to Karakul Lake (if so, I need the timetable both ways as well) and from Turpan to the various tourist destinations around (Jiaohe Ancient City, Astana-Karakhoja Ancient Tombs, Desert Botanical Garden, and Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves, not necessarily with their timetable but at least their frequency and the time of the first&last buses).
Sorry about all these questions, I welcome any information you can provide!

1. From Urumqi to Tianshan Grand Canyon, you can take bus in Southern Suburb Bus Station. The bus departs from 9:00 to 19:00 with an interval about 40 minutes.

2. You can also take bus Southern Suburb Bus Station from Urumqi to Southern Pastures, the departure is from 9:00 to 19:00 with an interval about 1 hour.

3. I heard that the bus from Kashgar to Karakul Lake had been canceled but I’m not sure. In fact, you can rent a car or hire a private car to go sightseeing. Maybe it’s the best way because the distance is too long and the scenery along the way is beautiful.

4. Most of the destinations you can take bus to get, or you can find a travel agency to arrange your schedule.

Hi
about the last question for turpan turist attractions ~there are no busses that can take you close so either you rent your own taxi or find a tour to go with. The distances between the sights is not far so you can easily see things in a day
