[quote=ELLYSE,392388]Aren't you planning to go to Dunhuang and Jiayuguan? I think those would be a must-see in Gansu! Or have you already visited them before? I've been to Gansu twice, once in winter and once in winter. The 1st trip in 2006 covered Dunhuang, Jiayuguan. Lanzhou (but not Bingling Si) and Xiahe, I was going to continue to the rest of the places you mentioned, but got sick and ended up flying back instead. The 2nd trip in 2007 covered Dunhuang, Jiayuguan and Lanzhou (again only the city). I was travelling with different people so ended up going to the same places. I have pretty good write-ups about Dunhuang, Jiayuguan and Xiahe on my VirtualTourist travel pages, plus some tips about Lanzhou and Linxia as well. Do check them out, will appreciate it very much if you sign up for a VirtualTourist account and help me rate the tips as you go along. :) Dunhuang: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1d57/f8fb3/ Jiayuguan: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1d57/f77c6/ Xiahe: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1d57/f720c/ Lanzhou: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1d57/f7140/ Linxia: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1d57/f6cff/ From Xi'an to Xiahe, you might want to go by way of Langmusi. Look on the Lonely Planet ThornTree forum/guidebook for the exact route, it involves changes at a few different places (eg Zoige/Ruoergai) and I can't remember the details. Also note that Xiahe might be closed to foreigners. I had some South-East Asian Chinese friends try to go to Xiahe (from Lanzhou) recently and they were only able to go as far as the highway turn-off before being stopped by the PSB. If you've any more queries, email me at ellyse99@yahoo.com and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg Sommer) in the subject line.[/quote]
