[quote=JABAROOTOO ,35778]Hi there, you'll love the trip. Read the Travel Reviews on the area. I've another to post on Hami later. Use trains for the long hauls and buses for the shorter distances is OK. while it is hot during the summer we manged to enjoy our visit in early August and even had a refreshing shower in Urumqi and a cold breeze in the afternoon we bused to Turpan. Any time of year would be good but during summer wyou can enjoy the grape harvest and the other fruits.etcHire taxi/car for sightseeing and it's pretty easy to find English speaking guides. They will find you actually. I have a contact in Turpan if you want to follow up. Be sure to book trains a day ortwo in advance though as there is a lot of traffic out there. Buses are anot so bad and as a last resort you can take the sleeper coach. The new freeway from Jiayuguan to Lanzhou should be finished by now so that trip by road should be a lot faster and more comfortable. Do your research so you don't miss things. There is so much to see along the route and it's good to take some small detours if you have time. Unfortunarely we did not have the time we needed to see everything but I thoroughly enjoyed what we did get to.[/quote]
