Getting there & away

The town has three bus stations, in the south, east and west. The south bus station (nán zhàn), near the Great Buddha Temple, is the most convenient, but the modern new west bus station (xī zhàn) has the most frequent departures.

While arriving by train is no problem, departures are limited. The train ticket office can book sleepers on the T295 to Dūnhuáng (Y125 hard sleeper, 6¼ hours, 11.45pm) and train 908 to Lánzhōu (Y94 hard sleeper, 11 hours, 8pm). A taxi to/from the train station is Y10 or take bus 1 (Y1).
