| Hi All, I posted it earlier also but no response. we like to visit Gansu Sheng and adjoining areas in coming summer. 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/ http://www.maplandia.com/ 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 went to Google earth when you posted before, but I couldn't see what you referred to at that location. 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?? |

| Minle village? There is a Minle County in Zhangye City. I agree with Paul. The crops are likely to be wheat. I guess. |
