Gansu from South to North (part 6) from Lanzhou we head north to Zhangye, a wonderful old silk road town in the middle of the Hexi corridor.

Marco Polo lived here for a year in a town nestled between the mountains of Qinghai and Inner Mongolia. The Big buddha temple still stands a thousand years after construction and the surrounding countryside is not to be missed. I visit Pingshanhu in this video - Chinas Grand Canyon.

Hope you enjoy the video - the next one will be further northwest into Gansu in the famous fort of Jiayuguan.
