The Yellow River passes through Gansu Province forming a 433-km bending known as “first bend of the Yellow River” right inside Maqu county on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Voyage en bus de Xining à Tongren (Qinghaï, Chine)
Un beau trajet de bus dans une région très aride et plutôt pauvre, le Qinghaï, qui faisait partie de l'ancienne province tibétaine de l'Amdo. Les maisons sont parfois en briques, mais le plus souvent en boue et terre séchée. On trouve de nombreuses cultures : champs en terrasses, arbres fruitiers. Plusieurs minorités y habitent : huis (Chinois musulmans, Dongxiang, Tibétains etc). Les visages et tenues ressemblent beaucoup à ceux d'Amérique du Sud. La fin du parcours s'effectue au milieu des prairies d'altitude, peuplées de yacks et de temples de nomades.
