School starts on February 28th, 2023. According to the query of Gansu Education official website, winter vacation kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools in Gansu Province started on February 28th, 2023, and officially started on March 1. Gansu, an ancient Yongzhou, is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. It borders Shaanxi in the east, Bashu Qinghai in the south, Xinjiang in the west and Inner Mongolia and Ningxia in the north. It is a key location and prime location of the ancient Silk Road. Like a magnificent treasure jade, it is embedded in the Loess Plateau, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Inner Mongolia Plateau in central China, winding from east to west 1600 kilometers, with a total land area of 425,900 square kilometers (including 53.22 square kilometers in the enclave of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region). Gansu is composed of the initials of Ganzhou (now Zhangye) and Suzhou (now Jiuquan). Because Xixia once set up Gansu military sub-division, Gansu Province was set up in Yuan Dynasty, referred to as Gansu; Because most of the province is in the west of Longshan (Liupan Mountain), Longyou Road is located here in the Tang Dynasty, so it is also called Longyan for short.
