Getting Around 

Most travelers come to Kashgar via Urumqi first and then transfer to Kashgar. It's easy to get around Kashgar by taxi given its cheap rate and relatively compact size. It should cost only around RMB 30 from the city center to the airport and about 10 RMB to the railway station. Cycling is also a good way to go around and many hotels rent bicycles. 

Taxi 

Base rate is 5 RMB for the first 3 km and then 1.2 RMB for every additional km. 

To and from Kashgar 

Air 

Kashgar Airport is about 10 kilometers north of the city. There are more than 10 flights daily to Urumqi; the trip takes about an hour and a half. Leaving Kashgar for Urumqi can be surprisingly difficult, so it's a good idea to book tickets as far in advance as possible. 

Train 

Serving as a hub terminal of South Xinjiang Railways, train transportation is very convenient, yet, given the distances involved, time-consuming. There are trains to and from Urumqi daily; the journey takes over 23 hours. Trains to other major cities in China including Shanghai (over 3 days), Beijing (over 3 days), Lanzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing, Xi'an, Dunhuang. 

Bus 

Highways connect Kashgar to many neighboring cities and towns, including A Ke Su, Korla, Turpan and Urumqi, with most "regional" journeys taking around 24 hours. You can also head southeastwards to Zepp, Yecheng and relatively nearby Hotan, as well as even east to Dunhuang in Gansu Province and Golmud, the starting point of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. There are also buses from Kashgar to Tashkurgan, the last town along the Karakoram Highway that heads to Pakistan. Northwards and Westwards from Kashgar there are also highways stretching to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan. 

Note that buses to other destinations within the greater region are limited. Therefore, many travelers rent jeep or car transport or make their way via hitching and picking up rides on anything from tractors to donkey carts. As always, be advised that doing it the hard (and cheap) way carries risks, especially in a part of the world where you can find yourself stuck in the middle of the desert if you're unlucky.
