China's state planner has allocated 250 million yuan (拢27m) to the Gansu and Qinghai provinces for reconstruction work after the earthquake, it said in a statement.
The deadly quake caused damage to buildings, water and electricity lines as well as transportation and communications infrastructure.
Authorities in China have revised the number of people killed in the earthquakes in Gansu and neighbouring and Qinghai.
As of 1pm local time (5am UK time), 113 people had died in Gansu and 536 were injured.
The tally has also risen in Qinghai to at least 13 dead, with 182 injured.
Four satellites have been deployed to monitor the earthquake area, it's understood.
High-resolution images from the scene will provide information about landslides, barrier lakes and building collapses.
So far, mapping has been completed for the two-metre high-resolution imaging data of the disaster area, our producer in Beijing has learned.
Nearly 14,700 students and teachers from all 15 boarding schools in Jishishan county in Gansu have been evacuated, Chinese state media is reporting.
No injuries or deaths have been reported at the schools, the reports say.
The quake struck overnight in Jishishan about five kilometres (three miles) from the provincial boundary with the Qinghai province.
Communications services have been partly recovered in the area and the National Energy Administration says more than 80% of power outages have been restored.
The earthquake-hit province of Gansu in northwestern China is one of the country's poorest and least-accessible.
With a population of around 25 million, the remote and mountainous area is also home to several predominantly Muslim ethnic groups and near some Tibetan communities.
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the average annual disposable income per head in Gansu is just 37,570 yuan (拢4,175).
Despite millions being lifted out of poverty in the region in recent years, it remains one of the most impoverished provinces.
Pakistan's caretaker prime minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kaka said he was "deeply saddened" to learn about the earthquake in northwestern China.
He sent his condolences to "our Chinese brothers and sisters" in a post to the X social media platform.
The earthquake - China's deadliest in a decade - triggered landslides and buried half a village in silt.
At least 118 people are dead and more than 500 injured after the tremor which also damaged houses and roads and knocked out power supplies.
Chinese state-owned media said officials in Qinghai, which neighbours quake-hit Gansu, reported 20 people missing in a landslide.
Emergency authorities in Gansu have issued an urgent appeal for 300 additional workers to search wrecked buildings for survivors and to join other search and rescue operations.
Here are some more images of the overnight rescue effort in Jishishan county, Gansu, where the quake hit shortly before midnight local time yesterday.
The China Earthquake Networks Centre said the earthquake struck at a depth of 10km (6.2 miles).
Thousands of emergency and military workers were sent to the area for the search and rescue operation.
This clip shows soldiers carrying the elderly and young to safety in Shijishan, in Gansu's Linxia county - the epicentre of the earthquake.
The footage comes from China's social media platform Douyin.
