Default Lanzhou loop riddle

Since we got so much understanding by posting the "Ningxia Riddle", which turned to the "Ningxia Problem" i hope our collaboration can help in this.

There is a clear line of Ming GW shown to Lanzhou in many maps (even in the better ones). Up to now I did not get something like a clue where it was, where to look for. The GE material is very poor around Lanzhou, maybe we can learn more from ancient sources. Is there any knowledge here around? What about GW in the Xining area, it should be related. Probably not Ming, but Qin? Any hints?

As written earlier: Your help is invaluable. For me it would take months to read your sources and still many mistakes would occur. My hope is that you can do the work on the entire GW. Not only Ming ... ;-)

In comparion fruitful information on Ming GW , other dynasty GW is real poor, and it is hard work to look for GW path with few of information .
The current job i am doing is to verify all GW pathes you had found and add more interest stuff on it , it would take couple of years to finish , sorry fail to realize your expectation on me .

36°18'42.05"N 104°14'10.06"E

The first four are great findings and help to solve the Lanzhou Loop Riddle. The last two I don't believe.
Thanks many times. I am sure we will find a lot of similar things around.
