Topography of Gansu
Gansu is located at the intersection of three plateaus: the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau. The terrain within the territory is complex, with criss-crossing mountains and widely varying altitudes. Mountains and basins It has a combination of mountains, plains, deserts and Gobi, and is a mountainous plateau landform. The terrain slopes from southwest to northeast, and the terrain is long and narrow, 1,659 kilometers long from east to west and 530 kilometers wide from north to south. It can be roughly divided into six major regions with their own characteristics. Most of them are above 1,000 meters above sea level and are surrounded by mountains.

Introduction to Gansu
Gansu is located in the geographical center of the motherland, between 32°11′-42°57′ north latitude and 92°13′-108°46′ east longitude. The landforms are complex and diverse. There are complete types of mountains, plateaus, plains, river valleys, deserts, and Gobi, all staggered in distribution, with the terrain sloping from southwest to northeast. The terrain is long and narrow, 1,655 kilometers long from east to west and 530 kilometers wide from north to south. The complex landform can be roughly divided into six major terrain areas with their own characteristics.
Longnan Mountains: There are many mountains here, high mountains and deep valleys, rich vegetation, and clear water everywhere. This area roughly includes the mountainous areas south of the Wei River and east of the Lintan and Diebu lines, and is the western extension of the Qinling Mountains.
Longzhong Loess Plateau: It is located in the central and eastern part of Gansu Province, starting from the border of Gansu and Shaanxi provinces in the east and ending at Wushaoling in the west. This place once gave birth to the ancestors of the Chinese nation and established the homes of the descendants of the Yan and Huang people. Hundreds of millions of years of crustal changes, wars and disasters have fragmented it. Especially the central area of Dingxi has become one of the most barren places in the motherland, but it contains Endless treasures, rich in oil and coal resources.
Gannan Plateau: It is the "roof of the world" - a corner on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It has a towering terrain and an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters. It is a typical plateau area. The grassland here is wide, the water and grass are abundant, the cattle are fat and the horses are strong. It is one of the main animal husbandry bases in Gansu Province.
Hexi Corridor: Lying to the north of the Qilian Mountains and to the south of the Beishan Mountains, starting from Wushaoling in the east and ending at the junction of Gansu and Xinjiang in the west, it is a narrow strip that slopes from east to west and from south to north. The altitude is between 1000-1500 meters. It is about 1,000 kilometers long and ranges from a few kilometers to more than a hundred kilometers wide. The terrain here is flat, with good mechanical farming conditions, sufficient light and heat, and abundant water resources. It is a famous Gobi oasis with broad prospects for agricultural development and is the main commercial grain base in Gansu.
Qilian Mountains: South of the Hexi Corridor, it is more than 1,000 kilometers long, most of which are above 3,500 meters above sea level. It is covered with snow all year round and has winding glaciers. It is a natural solid reservoir, desert, pasture, and forest in the Hexi Corridor. The vertical distribution of vegetation such as ice and snow is obvious.
The area north of the Hexi Corridor: This area is more than 1,000 kilometers long from east to west and has an altitude of 1,000-3,600 meters. It is customarily called the Beishan Mountains. It is close to the Tengger Desert and the Badain Jaran Desert. The wind The mountains are high and sandy, the rocks are exposed, and the desert is continuous.
