Some questions regarding travel across China

Hi there,

I have some questions regarding travel through China for my trip this August.

1. Is there a way to get a bus directly from Zhangye to Xiahe? From my research so far I haven't found anything.

2. Are there overnight buses running from Songpan to Chengdu?

3. On a Xinjiang itinery which goes Urumqi-Korla-Hotan-Kashgar, is there a way to break up the journey somewhere else on the way back to Urumqi, preferably by train so as to avoid a long journey and is there a way to travel directly to Kashgar from Korla?

If anyone could answer any of these questions, I would be much obliged!

Great, thanks for the info and recommendations! Sōngpān is a town in northern Sichuan, I'm hoping to get south to Chengdu from there.
