Thoughts and Ideas about a Northwestern China Tour in the summer

Don't know about the others but been to Gansu last year.Definitely worth a visit.Lanzhou is one of the pretty towns in China(I don't like big cities)and you can ride your motorcycle there.Just have to stay at designated foreigner hotels.

Ok these places aren't in Lanzhou there about a two hour ride away on your typical chinese back road.The motorway is probably finished now and a huge influx of tourist are coaching in stuffing it completely.If you want go there PM and I will tell you how to get there.

I want to got there but its a bit far from Australia! Great pics! Keep 'em coming. Is that a huge statue in the background of pic 1?

Um from memory they where living in there along time ago.

Heres a huge statue carved inyo the side of a mountain in Xinjiang.
