Train Travel Tips

Jiuquan Railway Station and Jiuquan South Railway Station are only about 12 kilometers apart. If you take a taxi, it takes about 20 minutes and costs 15 CNY. They are both relatively close to the city center.

Jiuquan was one of the four counties of Hexi in the Han Dynasty.  It was at the center of the Silk Road. There, you can find the Mogao Caves, Suoyang City, Jiuquan Park, Yadan National Geological Park, and other tourist attractions. 

Jiuquan is a famous satellite city in China. There is no airport in Jiuquan. If you would like to take a flight, you can take one from Lanzhou to Jiayuguan (the full price is about 1,200 CNY) and then take a train from Jiayuguan to Jiuquan (it takes about 19 minutes and costs 80 CNY for a soft sleeper).
