00ReplyYou can find taxi or private car service even at night time, the cost should be around CNY30 to the hotel. Mang hotels in Dunhuang offer free pick up service from railway station or airport. If you can get in touch with your hotel, you can ask about it.

00ReplyI am not sure if this information is updated. I saw some one says online that there are 3 buses a day from Jiayuguan Long distance bus center to Dunhuang, at 9am, 10:30am and 2:30pm. It should take around 4 hours on the way. You may need to find it out in Jiayuguan on spot.

00ReplySee from the recent availability, it should be possible to get a seat on the day at station. However, June 9 is the last day of a 3-day holiday, so it is very hard to say. Maybe you can check the tickets often online firstly and make decision according to the tickets.

00ReplyIndeed all the rides are in early morning, or should say midnight. However, these rides did save you time for day time visiting. If you want to travel in afternoon, you may need bus etc instead.
