From there we would like to go to Langmusi. I know these 2 places are quite far away, so that public transportation will take a long time. Another possibility is to hire a driver with the car to take us there. Does anybody know how much approximately would it cost, what is the shortest distance between the 2 places and how long time would it take by car. All recommendations on the hotel in Tianshui are also welcome! Thanks!

But hopefully the route through Xiahe (I'm pretty sure the logical "shortest" route would pass through there) will be open by the time you go. I had a group of South-East Asian Chinese friends try to go through there early last month, and they were barred at the highway turn-off to Xiahe, could go no further south. Hope this helps somewhat!

And we were planning on going to Langmusi from south through Diebu. When looking at the map, it actually seems shorter way. Can you tell, how long would it take going from north otherwise?

GUEST13480	hallo, in July 2013 we are planning to travel in Gansu. Can anybody tell me what is the best way to get from Tianshui to Langmusi ? Is there the road connecting Tianshui with Diebu? If it is, what is the distance and how much could be the taxi Tianshui - Langmusi?

I suggest you go to Langmusi from Lanzhou. It's much easier. There is no direct bus from Tianshui to Langmusi. Xiahe is about 250 kilometers from Langmusi. It costs around CNY 500 if you hire a car. Tianshui is more than 500 kilometers from Langmusi. Then you can calculate how much you should pay for it.

You can take bus from Lanzhou to Xiahe or Hezuo and then transfer to Langmusi.
