If you go

・ By Air: Zhangye Airport has been in use since 2011. It is about 13km to the south of the city. Currently, it only has flights between Xi'an via Lanzhou every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

・ By Train: By far the most convenient way to get into and out of Zhangye is still by train. Zhangye Railway Station, located about 6km away to the downtown area, is a major stop along the Lanzhou-Urumqi Railway Line. It has trains which run daily to and from Shanghai, Xi'an and Lanzhou and connect with the whole country.
