Over 1,000 kilometres in length, it is bordered on the south by the Chilien Mountains and on the north by the broken, slightly lower Peishan Mountains. It is penetrated by the rolling sand from Inner Mongolia. The corridor, though an arid area, is constantly watered by the melting snow and ice from the Chiliens. The irrigation system here goes back 2,000 years, when agriculture was originally developed on the oases on which most of the towns and villages have since arisen. on en 14 April 1964 November 20, 1963 Small Su-pei Mongol Hsien Grows Communist China Digest https://books.google.com/books?id=_kw_AAAAMAAJ 117 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015030770567&seq=209 w:Joint Publications Research Service Peiping, Kuang-ming Jih-pao 45509482 17 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015030770567&seq=237 Su-pei Mongol Autonomous Hsien is situated in the western portion of the Ho-hsi Corridor of Kansu Province, bordering A-k'o-sai Kazakh Autonomous Hsien... on en 1969 Northwest China: The Mongolian-Sinkiang Region The Physical Geography of China https://archive.org/details/physicalgeograph0002unse/ II w:Frederick A.

The central portion of it was composed of ancient pre-Sinian deposits which were gradually overlaid by a mantle of Quaternary sands, but crop out on the surface in the elevations. The northern part is composed of Paleozoic and Mesozoic (chiefly Cretaceous) sediments while the southern piedmont portion (i.e., the Hohsi Corridor) was filled by beds of Paleozoic sedimentary and Meso-Cenozoic continental deposits which reach particularly great thickness in certain depressions such as the Chiuch’uan, Kanchou and Chaoshui. on en 1993 August Miao Wang; Shi Bao Xiu Tu Nai Hsien A Detour Through the Desert to Etzina From the Pamirs to Beijing: Tracing Marco Polo's Northern Route https://archive.org/details/frompamirstobeij0000wang/ Hong Kong HK China Tourism Press 962-7799-07-6 966025328 94 https://archive.org/details/frompamirstobeij0000wang/page/94/ 1 When we were in Zhangye we consulted a map and saw that the Ruoshui River has its source in the Qilian Mountains, then winds north through the Hexi Corridor and into the desert.
