Hitching out

West towards Ürümqi

Go to lan zhou zhong a wen xue xiao (36°06′30.18″N 103°49′32.43″E). From there you can start hitchhiking as all the cars are going on the highway.


East towards Xi'an, West towards Wuwei, Xinjiang

Option 1: Bus no. 5 runs from the train station along Tian Shui Lu to the motorway entrance. Get off at the second last stop (last one is also ok, if you miss it) and walk past the toll gate. You can either hitch here, or just continue over the bridge to the actual motorway, which is about 20 minutes walking.

Option 2: Take Bus 4, 12, 117 oder 110 till their last stop dong gang zhén. (36°02′31.93″N 103°55′18.51″E) from there go left into yan er wan lu and walk for 1 km until the road ends. Turn left and after 50 m you will see the tollstation in about 100 meter distance. You can also take bus 143 and go off directly at the crossing towards the tollstation at yan er wan (36°02′52.69″N 103°55′16.84″E). There you will find enough space for cars and trucks to stop. You can try to go directly to xi'an or the next bigger city dinxi. On the way to it you will pass by a gas and service station where a lot of people stop and it is easy to find a lift.
