Qilihe District is located entirely on the southern bank of the Yellow River, and includes part of Lanzhou’s main urban area, which stretches for tens of kilometers along the river. In the east, it borders on Chengguan District (which includes the downtown Lanzhou), and in the west, on Xigu District. The district also includes some sparsely populated arid highlands south of the river, stretching for several tens of kilometers up to the border of the Dingxi prefecture-level city.
