Xi'an Xi'an to Urumqi by train - need a reservation?
Posted: Tue March 3, 2009 07:25 AM UTC
I am planning to travel from Beijing to Europe by train, and one of the legs of the trip will be from Xi'an to Urumqi. I am wondering if I will need to reserve this ticket ahead of time. I plan on spending at least two or three days in Xi'an in order to see the Terra Cotta warriors and other sights, so I could just buy the ticket on the first day if that will be sufficient time in advance.

No, definitely not enough time. Also note that although there might be a number of trains doing this route, only one originates in Xi'an. This means that there would be quite some difficulties getting sleeper tickets.

Train tickets usually go on sale 10 days in advance for major cities, not 5 days in advance.
