Trip to Urumqi |

I may be traveling to Urumqi in mid May 2005. Can anyone who have embark on this similar journey care to advise whether it is too tiring for a group of 3 ladies of about mid 40s and also an old lady of 75. We are following a tour that start from Chengdu, Xi'an, Dunhuang, Lanzhou, Urumqi, etc. (sequence of travel?) with 2 internal flights and 1 night train.
Appreciate advise on temperature, weather, clothing to wear around that time and so on... |

One thing to bear in mind here is the time! Although officialy run according to Beijing time, residents actually live life two hours behind Beijing. This does not however, affect train, plane and bus times, so make sure you are absolutely sure when you are supposed to leave and which time zone is being used!
An exploration of the older streets and the Uighur area known as Erdaoqiao provides a more interesting look at the different nationalities living in the city.
Dunhuang was also a regional cultural center of sorts. The Mogao Grottoes, also known as the Dunhuang Grottoes or the "Thousand Buddha Grottoes", is located on the western cliffs of the Singing Sands Mountains. Being one of the four most well-known grottoes, it is one of the most complete collections of Buddhist frescoes and sculpture from a period ranging over ten dynasties.
It really deserve your visit! |
