Please advise most convenient method of travel from Urumqi to Dunhuang and back to Urumqi.

The most convenient way is to take the bullet train (about 5 hours) from Urumqi and arrive at Liuyuan railway station, which is a little far from Dunhuang downtown. Then you can take a bus or taxi around 1.5 hours to reach the city.

Mogao Caves Ticket Reservation Process

Hi there,

I'm trying to book the ticket through the online portal. However, it requires a Chinese phone number to open an account. Are there alternative method to reserve tickets through the online portal?

Thanks so much!

Hi! Is there a night bus from Jiayuguan to Dunhuang?

My Dad and I are traveling through on 19-June (2017) and the train seems to be a little too short to get a night of sleep.

Also, does anyone have recommendations for an English-speaking driver who could meet us at the train when we arrive, take us to all the sites, and drop us off at the bus or train? How much should this service cost?

Answered by Garry | Feb. 13, 2017 03:32

As I know, there is no night bus from Jiayuguan to Dunhuang. They are all operated in the daytime and the ride takes around 5 hours. With regard to the driver, most drivers in China do not speak English, I would suggest you take a guided trip with a travel agency to show you around. Hope it helps.

Do you travel from Zhangye to Danxia Landform Geopark? You can take bus from Zhangye West Bus Station bound for Sunan and get off at Nantaicun,then walk to the park. If you want to view sunrise or sunset, then charter a car is the only choice. You can find a local travel agency or consult your hotel for help upon arrival. Or you may find a taxi driver to take you there. The fare is around CNY200 for round trip. It is getting cold in November but the view is still nice at that time. Hope you have a great time.
