There seems no offical left luggage in the turpan station, but you can find one at the Daheyan bus center. Usually passengers need to go to Daheyan bus center to take the bus to turpan downtown. There is the left luggage office, should be working from 8:30am to 5:30pm. You can only collect it during the working time.
