Extended data:
Gansu, referred to as "Gan" or "Long" for short, is the provincial administrative region of People's Republic of China (PRC) (PRC), the capital of Lanzhou, which is named after 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.
Gansu is located in the northwest of China, bordering Shaanxi in the east, Sichuan and Qinghai in the south, Xinjiang in the west, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia in the north and Mongolia in the northwest. The territory is the intersection of the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau, with various climate types, including subtropical monsoon climate, temperate monsoon climate, temperate continental climate and alpine plateau climate from south to north. The total area is 425,900 square kilometers (including 53.22 square kilometers of enclaves).
