Sun Guangzheng had previously driven through Guazhou county, Gansu province, without giving it a second glance.
However, a sudden snowstorm last month changed his perception of the area.
Guazhou county, under the jurisdiction of Jiuquan city in Gansu province, is a thousand-year-old town located just a hundred kilometers away from Dunhuang.
Wang Yang and his family, residents in Guazhou county of Jiuquan, Gansu province, offered free accommodation to eleven passengers, who were stranded on the highway due to the foul weather, in their own home at the end of the Spring Festival holiday, People's Daily reported.
