Hi,I am in Hangzhou at the moment I need to get to Urumqi via train / road
which is the best/fastest route?


Any ideas on how long it will take?
which places will I be stopping at on the way?

Do I need any passes or permits to go there?

Someone told me to get the train with a sleeping pass.. what is one of them?

please help thank you in advance

You have two choices,one is airplane that costs you 2200RMB,two airplane a day ,starts of 16:55, and 20:55 respectively.
Second option is to take train，But there is no direct train from Hangzhou to Urumqi,so you can change at Sanmenjia station or Xian and change train to Urumqi,from Hangzhou to Xian is 1558KM that takes 30 hours. from Xian to Urumqi is 2568KM,you stop at lot of station ,so it is a little trouble to say all of them.
You don't need any permission exept your passport on this way.
If you have any other aquestion write to yasinjan6@yahoo.com
I will be happy to help you.
