Dear Sirs,
I'm planning a tour in Gangsu , starting on June 24th  : we are  9-12 people and  we'll arrive in Lanzhou  from Dalian ( where we are for a business event the week before)on 23th evening,  we want to visit Zhangye , including Danxia area, Badain Jaran area ( 1 or 2 nights in the desert) and Jiayuguan:
We  see two potential alternatives : 1) by train to Zhangye ,visit of Danxia area in the afternoon and they day after move to  Badain Jaran ; 2) move from Lanzhou to the desert by car as you suggested , visiting  Zhangye on the way back.

We have 7 or 8 days and we are still in doubt if visit also Xining  (lake?)and eventually Tongren( temples) but we don’t know if it’s worth to visit and how long. Regarding Badain Jaran , which is my main target, is it possible to visit all the sites ( the temple, the lake , the highest dune) in a two days excursion ( 1 night in the desert) or do we need 2 nights? Which is the temperature in the desert ; one family has a kid 2 years old. Is this trip suitable ?

Can you make us a proposal for such tour , including transportation and guides ? I looked to the hotel in the cities we’ll visit and luckily they are not expensive, therefore please select good ones ( at least 4 stars). As we ha you ve not much time please try to make a program intensive as visit. Even I don’t speak Chinese I’m travelling in china from many years and I’m quite familiar with the culture and lifestyle.

Best regards. Alessandro
