From Urumqi to Turpan and Nam Tso

by queenminka

I'll be at a conference in Urumqi, and now I'm thinking about excursions for a group to Turpan and Tian Chi Lake. Are one-day trips possible? And maybe somebody knows if excursions are offered, or would we have to use puplic transportations?

And perhaps somebody has another good tip what to do with a group of scientists?

thanks in advance,
Ivonne

Should be pretty easy to arrange via your hotel or travel agencies in Urumqi.

Both of these popular destinations are catered for by many tour operators. Tours go to Tian Chi from the North gate entrance of Peoples' park every morning. However they do have a tendency to wait till the bus is full, this can be frustrating. There are a number of tour operators located around the North Gate entrance of the Peoples' park on GongYuan Bei Jie. They all offer the same trips at about the same rates.
If the group numbers 10 or so, it might be a better idea to hire a mini bus for the day. This way you dictate the places you want to go to at your own pace. These minibusses can be easily hired privately.
If you need further information, go to 'Fubar', a western owned bar/restaurant (Tel. 5844498) on GongYuan Bei Jie and they'll be happy to inform you of all the alternatives.

Tianshan Mountains and the Heavenly Lake(Tianchi)
Tianchi is one of the main tourist attraction and it is very very crowded especially at weekends.(Also the admission fee to Tianchi is terribly expensive---RMB60/person!!!I don’t think that’s worth of it.)You can take a boat ride on the lake, wander along the lake shore, horse riding or stay in one of the yurts for a night.(Be prepared that toilets are not available inside the yurt and you have to walk in the dark outside to find a toilet.)
