What is the reasonable cost of taking a train from Chongqing to Xining (Qinghai Lake) and then to Xinjiang? How many days will it take?

Xinjiang ... I don't know. Can give some advice from Chongqing to Xining.

It's best to start from Chengdu, take the train sleeper as long as 180 yuan, and get to Xining in 24 hours. (From around 14 o'clock to around 14 o'clock today). Accommodation and meals in Xining are cheaper. It is recommended to stay at Home Inn. The house price is between 100- 120. You can also stay in a hostel, but the conditions are very poor. There are many local snacks and they are very cheap.

When you arrive in Xining, you can visit the Ta 'er Temple in Huangzhong. It is recommended to take a taxi near Hongyu Hotel (downtown). The cost is about 6- 10 yuan/person. It takes about 20 minutes to arrive. Tickets for Ta 'er Temple 80 yuan/person. The tour time is 2 hours at most. Pay attention to those who sell souvenirs near the temple and ignore them ... You can take a taxi outside the temple when you return to Xining from Ta 'er Temple, generally 10 yuan/person.

It takes 15 1 km to get from Xining to Qinghai Lake. Better go together. You can talk to those taxis outside Ta 'er Temple about the price of going to Qinghai Lake. Generally, it is chartered to and from several scenic spots near Qinghai Lake, 400 yuan. So if it happens to be four people, it happens to be each person 100. Need 1 day. So start as soon as possible. You can discuss with the driver in advance the time to go and the place to get on the bus. The driver will call your residence to pick you up. Also pay attention to prepare some food and water. The food near Qinghai Lake is more expensive. It is estimated that Qinghai Lake and its party need around 600 yuan.

You can go to Xining at other times, and about 2 days is enough. In other words, the trip to Qinghai takes about 4 days.

There are fewer people traveling to Qinghai in autumn and winter, mainly because of the climate. There are fewer tourist attractions here in autumn and winter, so pay attention to bring warm clothes.
