[quote=ELLYSE,370753]Sorry, unfortunately I haven't been to Yushu so I can't comment. I would suggest that you contact Jamin of Tibetan Connections (he's Losang on ThornTree) and ask for his advice. From what I heard from him previously (we finally met up 2 years ago in Xining), Yushu or the way leading to it could still be snowed under in the height of summer. For Gansu, my top picks would be Dunhuang and Jiayuguan. Xiahe would be nice, but AFAIK it's not open to foreigners right now. You'll probably need to transit in Lanzhou at least once, and it's not such a bad place to spend a few hours or a day. Linxia is predominantly Hui (Muslims of Arab-Chinese descent), and it's halfway between Lanzhou and Xiahe. Here're a few links to my VirtualTourist travel pages for places in Gansu province. They're pretty good, if I might say so myself!
