With a POD before 2000 BC and after the birth of Jesus or whatsoever, make Hinduism in China popular with a lot of significant converts. Probably the Chinese can make their own version of Hinduism like they did with Buddhism.

Buddhism is in many ways evangelical Hinduism.

I think it's actually somewhat easier than a migration through the Gansu corridor. The Himalayas are China's natural wall, but invasion isn't necessarily impossible. I don't see it as impossible to think that an Indian conquerer (some sort of megalomaniacal Hindu version of Akbar the Great perhaps?) could establish a power base in the Himalayas, maybe do the Gansu swing, and initiate a war with China that ends with a Hindu dynasty briefly in power. Of course, native Chinese will always outnumber the Hindus, but there would forever be a Hindu population established in the Chinese mainland with their own subculture, but assimilated into the larger Chinese cultural sphere (much like the Hui).
