About the Reserve 　South of Lanzhou, the capital of the Gansu Province, the southwestern corner of the extensive loess plateau is surrounded by large mountain complexes. The Tao River originates from the mountains south of Lanzhou and flows in a northerly direction before entering the Yellow River upstream of Lanzhou. The Lianhuashan Natural Reserve is located on the right side of the Tao River about 170km south of Lanzhou. This is where the Tao River Valley cuts through the last mountain chain before reaching the loess plateau. The reserve consists of an impressive chain of peaks partially covered with beautiful mixed forests. >> more   Publications List of Birds
