Virtual China: Gansu

 

Just next to Sichaun is the sliver of a province known as Gansu.

You are HERE.

Part of The Silk Road ran through here and is known as The Hexi Corridor. 

This area is also called The Cradle of Chinese Civilization.

About 25 million people call Gansu home. The primary language spoken is Mandarin Chinese...and most are Buddhists...with some Taoists, Christians and Hui Muslim also scattered about.

This is also the home of the Bingling Temple and Grottos...which we will explore later.


 

The Silk Road and Museum.


 

Wonderful beef noodle cuisine...which we will make!


 

And a sight to rival the Painted Desert of Western America...The Rainbow Mountains.

 


All this and more...
