Yarkand Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Buses leave half-hourly for Kashgar (Y22, three hours), Yengisar (Y14, 1½ hours) and Karghilik (Y6, one hour). There are two daily buses at 11am and noon to Hotan (Y29, six hours), and five daily to Ürümqi (Y170 to Y190, 24 hours).

From the bus station it’s about 1.5km to Shāchē Bīnguǎn and the same again to the start of the old town.
