Hexi Corridor

The Hexi Corridor is a long narrow passage stretching from the border between Xinjiang and Gansu to Lanzhou. The south of the corridor is the Plateau of Tibet, which is too high and too cold. To the north of the corridor lies the Gobi Desert, which is too hot and too dry. Thus this corridor provided an access between the two barriers for the East and the West.
