First of all, the plane

Xinjiang is the province with the largest number of airports in China, with Urumqi as the center, and has been opened to more than ten regions such as Yining, Altay, Turpan, Hami, Kashgar and Hotan.

The fastest way to fly to all parts of Xinjiang, but the ticket price is high and you can't enjoy the scenery along the way. In the off-season, some routes may be reduced or even cancelled, and the flexibility is low. In addition, most airports are located in the suburbs, and it takes a long time to get in and out of the city. So generally speaking, most passengers will not choose this way of connecting destinations in series.

If the time is urgent and the destination is far away, you can consider flying directly.

Second, the train

Train is an economical and efficient mode of transportation between cities in Xinjiang. Besides being cheap, trains are less affected by the weather than planes and cars, and generally can leave and arrive on time. However, the train can only go back and forth on a fixed line, so it has low flexibility and cannot enjoy the scenery of the road at will. In addition, because there is a demand for train tickets, you must book them in advance, otherwise there is a great risk of not buying them. But it is a good mode of transportation for people who have few tourists and are inconvenient to charter a car.

Although there are not many railway lines in Xinjiang, the mileage is generally long, including several important railways such as Xinjiang section of Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, Northern Xinjiang Railway and Southern Xinjiang Railway. Urumqi, Turpan, Hami, Altay, Yining, Kashgar, Hotan and other important cities can all be reached by train.

Third, long-distance buses.

The highway traffic network in Xinjiang is relatively perfect, radiating from Urumqi to all parts of the autonomous region. Models are generally divided into ordinary passengers, express passengers and sleepers. If the journey is long, it is not recommended to take a long-distance bus back and forth, which will easily cause fatigue and affect the quality of play.
