There is an urgent need to understand Gansu’s local accommodation, climate, customs, etc.

Let’s be practical:

The weather shouldn’t be very cold from October to November, but the temperature difference between day and night is huge. If you want to go to Subei, you should bring thick clothes (cotton-padded jackets) ——Down jackets, sweaters are a must). You can also bring a pair of thin gloves.

Where you can stay in Subei:

1. "Mingli Hotel" at No. 8 Dazhong Lane, which seems to be 300 meters north of Panxuan Road. The owner is Chen Mingli

Contact number: 0937-8122685

2. There is also a Postal Hotel on East Street. The phone number is 8121077. These were the conditions in July last year, and we cannot say for sure this year. But I guess the Post Hotel should still be there. Just call and ask first.
