Enter China on a provincial airport like Dunhuang

Accepted answer

CZ flies from T3 in URC, so you'll do everything in the same terminal. However, China inspects travellers coming to China right on arrival. When you get off your flight from Almaty, you'll be directed to immigration counters. Then you'll have to pick up your bag(s) and go through Customs. After that, you'll have to go up again and check-in for your domestic flight, in a separate section of T3.

You always do entrance formalities at your first point of entry to a country, in this case Urumqi. Not all passengers on the flight from Urumqi to Dunhuang will be coming from abroad, so it wouldn't make sense to do immigration controls in Dunhuang.

I don't know about the exact procedures in Urumqi but generally when you enter a country you collect your bag, go through customs with your bag, and then recheck your bag for your connecting flight. Signs at the airport should make it clear how to do this.
