There is no train from Guangzhou to Urumqi. You should get to Lanzhou, Zhengzhou, Xian or other cities to make a transfer. Take Zhengzhou for example, you should take over 15 hours from Guangzhou first and then the train from Zhengzhou to Urumqi will take more than 33 hours. This is such a long journey, recommend you go by air.

Urumqi in summer is flowery and lush, but the temperature differs too much from day about 30C to night around 19C. For trip to Tibet, you will feel lack of oxygen if you climb on the high mountains.
