Kazakhstan to China by train in 2019?

Is it still possible to go from Kazakhstan to China by train?

If I search on the web site of the national railway company Kazakhstan Temir Zholy, I don't find any connections to China.

Best Answer

You can take go from Almaty 2 or Astana to Ürümqi by using the Kazakhstan Temir Zholy. From there you can probably reach the rest of China by using the China Railways trains.

I generally use rome2rio to find trains in places where public transport is hard to figure out.
