My friend and I are going to fly from Novosibirsk to Nepal via China. There will be two transplants, to Urumqi and to Chengdu. The total waiting time in China is less than 24 hours. Tickets from Novosibirsk to Urumqi from S7, and then from Air China. Tickets are purchased via the Internet on the airlines' websites. One way tickets to Kathmandu. Do I need a transit Chinese visa? And what about the luggage, what would it have been transferred from an S7 aircraft to an Air China plane? Do you need a Nepalese visa that was received in advance, what would the Chinese have missed or it can be received later on the border?

About any transit in your case, it does not go, with this version of the air flight you should make out an individual Chinese visa (pasted into your passport), if you plan to return in the same way, twice. Nepalese visa in this case is not required to move through the territory of the PRC (you can open it on arrival in Kathmandu).
Upon arrival in Urumqi, you will need to get the luggage and register it yourself now to the final destination, Nepal (if the segments of Urumqi - Chengdu - Kathmandu are issued on flights of one airline, in your case Air China, on flights domestic + international luggage can be registered up to the final point of arrival, if on the contrary, international + domestic, baggage can not be sent in transit).
