Gansu Tours & Trips
Picture renting a bike to circle the old city wall in Xi’an before heading west. At the Terracotta Warriors, you walk past long rows of clay soldiers, each one slightly different. Farther on, caves at Binglingsi and the painted walls of Mogao bring you into cooler, quieter spaces. In Kashgar, the markets are still loud and busy. The route feels long, but never dull.
