Dear Mary,
Thank you very much for your questions.
It will be too tight if you travel from Urumqi to
Turpan and back to accommodation in
Urumqi. But it is possible if you take private transfer. Public transportation will not feasible.
Please kindly note that it is around 200km from Urumqi to Turpan and it takes around 3 hours by driving on highway. Therefore, it will need around 6 hours on the way. In this case, you’d better to start very early in the morning. Then it is around 10 km from Turpan to the city of Jiaohe and around 45km to the city of Gaochang.
To be honest, if time allows, we suggest you have one night accommodation in Turpan so that you have enough time to explore Turpan and the spots surrounding it. One day trip is too rush to enjoy the
Turpan trip.
Hope the above is clear and helpful.
Best regards
