I watched long, big and shining yellowish green well planned area down Zhangye near small villages called Minle, Shunhua and Dunle on Google earth planet(38.06 -38.16 N & 101.01-101.14 E Elev 9000-9153 ft). You can see it on below links :- http://www.fallingrain.com/world/CH/15/Minle.html http://www.maplandia.com/china/gansu/minle/liuba/ This seems like rice, barley or Rape plantations, but could it be so large?. It looks lush shining green, evenly uniform. Could you please give us information on this ; what is this place, how big is it, its name and how to reach there. Charak63

I have lloked again and I see the large fields, some over a km long. in the USidwest and Australian wheat areas there are fields this large. So my GUESS is these are crop fields based on a collective farm structure. It seems a bit far north for rice though. Can someone improve on this??
