Dear Carl,
The train from Korla to Urumqi is K9758/K9755, it stars at 19:17pm, arriving at 07:58am on the next day. It takes about CNY232(US$36) for the soft sleeper.
If taking a bus, it will take about 5-6 hours and it costs about CNY70 (UD$11) per person.
There is no directly flight from Beijing to Korla. You should change a flight at Urumqi.
Thank you. I am amazed that so many trains in China are slower than the buses!
