[quote=YUANZHOULV,299697]cool, thanks so much for the replies. i am thinking that i may altogether skip Urumqi and spend a little more time in Turpan instead since going westward I can catch the train to Kashi from Turpan as well. i need to see though if there is any agency or hotel or person i can contact in Turpan to book me Turpan-Kashi and other destinations earlier. i was thinking that since Hami/Yiwu may be extremely crowded for the eclipse perhaps it is best if i dart directly from Turpan to Jiayuguan, which already gets 1 minute of eclipse time. Perhaps I can watch the eclipse from the fort itself? nevertheless i haven't seen much talk about watching the eclipse from Jiayuguan so it may be easier to find accomodation there than in Hami or Yiwu. question about buses -- can any be booked in advance online, or is it safe to buy bus tickets on the day of departure? question about trains -- if a train is sold out, is 站票 (standing ticket) always available? i know, i wouldn't want to stand 26 hours on a train, but if there is nothing else available i would take it in hope that seats are free from time to time during the journey or that maybe someone doesn't show up in the sleepers. another question about trains -- are round-trip tickets purchaseable anywhere? it seems to me that some people indicate that round trips can be purchased but i think they speak of places like beijing and shanghai, not xinjiang.
