  Getting on the train at Urumuqi
by mke1963
 
 

Urumuqi station is to the west of the city centre. As the main building is being rebuilt (the old one presumably being at least three years old) you now gather in a huge unheated barn. Each line is marked at the end by a board showing each train number. If you pay RMB5 at the little desk on the right hand wall, a porter in a red vest will help with your bags, and the porters get earlier access to the platform, so avoiding the worst rush when the gates open.
You have to walk down corridors, over bridges, along one platform and down into a subway before emerging at your train. Keep moving to stay within sight of your porter!
