2、the local community to describe:
Guide County is located in the transitional zone between the Loess Plateau
and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with Yellow River west-east running
across the central and northern part of it, lying stream for 76.8
kilometers. Throughout the whole area, ravines and ditches are
criss-cross, mountains and rivers are spotted inter-phrased, forming
a multi-level river terraces and hilly basin landscape. The south
and north part of the county is upper while the middle part is
lower, thus there formed a kind of basin valley ringed by mountains.
Its altitude is at 2200 meters, with the lowest altitude at Songba
Gorge gap of 2710 meters and the highest at A'nizhi Mountain of 5011
meters. Due to its hiding inland location, Guide is of plateau and
continental climate, enjoying more hours of sunlight and stronger
solar radiation. Featuring dry and windy spring, cool but short

Heyin Town, Hexi Town, Laxiwa Town, Changwu Town, Hedong Village,
New Street Hui Nationality Village and Garang Village. Guide County

location at the Yellow River valley with Longyang Gorge
