Trip to Jiayuguan Pass and Overhanging Great Wall

I am planning to arrive to Jiayuguan South Station at 10:00 on the 1st train from Dunhuang. I will leave the same evening to Urumqi. How can I program a visit to Jiayuguan Pass and Overhanging Great Wall? You mentioned about chartering a minibus. Where can this be done? Is there a local travel agency that I can contact? And how much will a taxi be visiting those sites from the South Station, wait time and drive back to the station? Thanks

If you are lucky, you may come across a driver providing charter service. But normally tourists need to contact a driver online and this may be hard for you. Taking a taxi may cost CNY 80 and higher. As for the travel agency, you can contact this website to see if they can serve you.

You can find taxi or private car service even at night time, the cost should be around CNY30 to the hotel. Mang hotels in Dunhuang offer free pick up service from railway station or airport. If you can get in touch with your hotel, you can ask about it.

Is it have a bus from Jiayuguan to Dunhuang?

I think this route has only rides in early morning and late night. So anyone know is it has a bus direct from jiayuguan tomDunhuang?

Answered by Aidan from UNITED KINGDOM | May. 26, 2019 21:00

I am not sure if this information is updated. I saw some one says online that there are 3 buses a day from Jiayuguan Long distance bus center to Dunhuang, at 9am, 10:30am and 2:30pm. It should take around 4 hours on the way. You may need to find it out in Jiayuguan on spot.

From Dunhuang to Jiayuguan in June 09

Do you think I will be able to get a ticket at the time of departure? I am not sure if I can finish my visiting in Dunhuang as plan.

Answered by Damon from BELGIUM | May. 06, 2019 17:07

See from the recent availability, it should be possible to get a seat on the day at station. However, June 9 is the last day of a 3-day holiday, so it is very hard to say. Maybe you can check the tickets often online firstly and make decision according to the tickets.

All the rides to Dunhuang are in early morning, no afternoon one?

Answered by Amelia from INDONESIA | Jan. 07, 2019 19:05

Indeed all the rides are in early morning, or should say midnight. However, these rides did save you time for day time visiting. If you want to travel in afternoon, you may need bus etc instead.
