Tourism Routes Within Gansu and Lanzhou
TOUR GANSU PROVINCE
There have been established 3 traditional routes for touring Gansu Province, i.e. the western, eastern and southern lines with Lanzhou at the centre and the Silk Road as the principal line. Scenic spots can be chosen and routes can be re-organized according to the requirement from travelers.
Departure from Lanzhou and going westwards along the western line that extends for 1,148 km, tourists may pay a visit successively to the cities of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiayuguan and Dunhuang. This traditional route is regarded as a hot-line for viewing and appreciating the historic sites on the Silk Road, fantastic landscape on the Gobi desert as well as the local cultural features and customs at each specific stop. Convenient communications, well-served accommodations and reliable service are now matched one another.
Today the 3 lines in touring Gansu Province are already linked up with those around the Silk Road in its neighbouring provinces and autonomous regions like Sha'anxi, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Ningxia and Sichuan. Travelers may choose any spots and re-organized any routes as they wish to.
