How long is the drive from Chengdu to Yili, how much does it cost to stay for a week, and which scenic spots are good. I'll go alone. Thank you!

There are no direct trains and planes from Chengdu to Yili, so we need to transfer at Urumqi.

Train: Chengdu-Urumqi takes 53 hours. Urumqi-Yining needs 1 1 hour.

Plane: Chengdu-Urumqi 3.5 hours, Urumqi-Yining 1 hour.

As for the cost of staying here for a week, it's not sure, because you don't know your accommodation standard.
