What People Are Saying About Lanzhou

Lanzhou Danxia Geological Park

Color can't compare to colorful Danxia, but it's more like ink painting. There are no people when I go, so I feel okay. The plank road of 3.5 kilometers is suitable for exercise.

Gansu Provincial Museum

罗罗~.~
Ganbo's Wenchuang is really hot. I saw the copper running horse! The front is too funny. I met Liulizhan and came back on a business trip. The luck is super good. It is a worthwhile trip to run to these two top cultural relics. I bought "take it".

Yellow River Building

旅行家系我
After a hundred million years, come to a wonderful date with ancient animals ~ Address: In my spare time on the eighth floor of Lanzhou Yellow River Building, I came to the Yellow River Building with my friends to climb up and look far ~ coincided with the ancient dialogue on the banks of the Yellow River. The paleontological fossil exhibition saw shocking mammoths, Fossils of northeastern horse deer and rhino. Thinking of these creatures once on Earth, really felt the insignificance and length of time of human beings

It is a good choice to come to Lanzhou for a night tour of the Yellow River. There are long queues during the peak summer vacation, the scenery is very good, and the good location for taking pictures on the stern is circled. FITs can only find their own location.

Lanzhou Yellow River Iron Bridge, walking on it, you can see the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River. A must-visit place in Lanzhou.

Dunhuang Sand Island Luxury Camp, the design of the desert hotel combines desert culture and artistic elements, which makes people shine. Close contact with nature: Living in a desert RV, we can get close to the desert and feel the charm of nature. Value for money: Although the price is high, considering the unique experience and high-quality service, it is still worth it.

Lanzhou Old Street

M46***32
Walking in the old street, you will find that every stone, every wooden door, every brick carving, seems to be telling the history of Lanzhou. You may wish to slow down and listen carefully to the traces carved by the years, they will take you through the busy, merchants gathered in the era. At this point, do you think that if the time can be reversed, what would you choose to do here? At lunchtime, you might as well try the Lanzhou beef noodles in the old street. A bowl of authentic Lanzhou beef noodles, noodles gluten, soup head delicious, beef mellow, each mouth is the ultimate temptation to taste buds. While tasting food, you may wish to think about why Lanzhou beef noodles can become synonymous with Lanzhou, and what kind of food culture and regional characteristics are behind it? In the afternoon, the cultural atmosphere of the old street is more thick. You can walk into the Lanzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Center, where Lanzhou paper cutting, shadow play, mud-plastic and other traditional crafts, each work is condensed with the craftsman's heart and wisdom. Here, you can feel the charm of traditional culture up close, and even try to make a handicraft of your own. Imagine if you watched your work take shape, and that sense of accomplishment and joy is more precious than any gift? As night fell, the lights on the old street gradually turned on, and the whole neighborhood became warm and romantic. At this time, you might as well walk into a teahouse, order a pot of three forts of tea, and enjoy the cross talk performance in the teahouse while enjoying the tea. Three Fort tea is a specialty tea in Lanzhou, made from Linze jujube, longan, raisins, lychee stems and rock sugar. It is delicious and nutritious. In the tea fragrance and laughter, you will feel the enthusiasm and openness of Lanzhou people, as if you have become a member of the city. Here, you not only feel the historical charm and cultural heritage of Lanzhou, but also experience the city's market life and modern vitality.

It is worth seeing. There are many kinds of animals inside. There are a few parent-child experiences. The facilities and equipment are a bit lacking. The service attitude is very good. It covers a large area. The first half is to take a small train, and the second half can take a small train or walk. The whole journey is 12 kilometers

White Pagoda Mountain Park

Baitashan Park is located on the north side of Zhongshan Bridge. The view of Lanzhou from the top of the mountain is quite good. Unfortunately, it was foggy and I couldn't take a clear picture of the other side. It's a light climb, about 20 minutes up the mountain, and it's worth the trip.

Xinglongshan National Nature Reserve

我爱旅游12306
Yuzhong County is a great place because it includes the Xinglong Mountain Scenic Area. Negative oxygen ions fill the scenic area, making it a well-deserved natural oxygen bar. Tourists also come here to appreciate the beauty of Xinglong. It's a great pleasure.
