Lanzhou Travel Guide Lanzhou is located in the inland hinterland with a distinct monsoon climate. The annual average temperature is about 9°C. The climate is dry, with a large temperature difference between day and night. Spring and summer are short, and autumn and winter are long.

When traveling to Lanzhou, the transition between spring and summer is the best time.

But if you want to participate in the annual "Lanzhou China Silk Road Festival", you must go in September, when many tourists will gather in Lanzhou and it will be very lively.

Recommended tourist attractions: Yellow River Scenic Line Lanzhou is a long and narrow city extending east-west, sandwiched between the north and south mountains. The Yellow River passes through the city at the foot of Jiuzhou Mountain in the north of the city.

After planning and construction by the urban construction department, a riverside road running tens of kilometers from east to west has been opened along the south bank of the Yellow River.

Known as the Green Corridor due to its wide and straight road surface, dotted with flower beds and nurseries on both sides, it has become the longest urban riverside road in the country.

Tourists visiting Binhe Road can appreciate the style of the Yellow River and visit many exquisite sculptures dotted along the way such as Pingsha Luoyan, Bolang, Ancient Silk Road, Mother of the Yellow River, Journey to the West, etc. They can also visit Zhongshan Iron Bridge, Baitashan Park, Waterwheel Park and other scenic spots

.

During the peak tourist season, you can see the ancient raft ferry and experience the ancient charm of "blowing cow skin and crossing the Yellow River"; you can also take a rubber boat to raft on the Yellow River.

Binhe Road is known as the "Bund" of Lanzhou and has become a place for morning exercises for the elderly and romance for the young.

Foreign tourists who come to Lanzhou must first go to Binhe Road and travel from east to west.

Baita Mountain is located on Baita Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River in Lanzhou City. It is named after the Yuan Dynasty White Pagoda on the top of the mountain.

It is divided into three groups of buildings, built against the mountain, with flying eaves and red pillars. Each building is connected by pavilions, pavilions and corridors, extending in all directions.

There were originally elephant skin drums, bronze bells, and redbud trees on the mountain, which were called the "Three Treasures of the Mountain" in ancient times. Now the redbud trees have died.

Baita Mountain has been greened for many years, with tall trees and dense forests and winding paths.

Zhongshan Bridge Lanzhou Zhongshan Bridge, commonly known as "Zhongshan Iron Bridge" and "Yellow River Iron Bridge", is located on the north side of the middle section of Binhe Road, at the foot of Baita Mountain and in front of Jincheng Pass. It was built in 1907 AD (the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty) and is an important part of Lanzhou's history.

The oldest ancient bridge is also the first real bridge on the 5,464-kilometer Yellow River, so it is known as the "No. 1 Yellow River Bridge in the World".

Xinglong Mountain is located five kilometers southwest of Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City and 60 kilometers away from Lanzhou City.

In ancient times, it was named "Qiyun Mountain" because "there are often endless white clouds".

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, it had become a place where Taoists dug caves for practice. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "Xinglong Mountain" with the meaning of revival.

Eat a Bowl of Authentic Beef Noodles Even those who have never been to Lanzhou are very familiar with the Lanzhou Ramen that fills the streets.

Only when I went to Lanzhou did I realize that the Lanzhou ramen sold in other places were all copycat versions.

Take a sheepskin raft and float down the Yellow River. Sitting on the raft, you can lower your head and see the water of the Yellow River passing through the air of the sheepskin tires. What’s even more amazing is that the raft is swaying with the ripples of the water, but the passengers will not get wet. It’s a bit

The smell of "I sit upright and let others have their way".

Have a drink in the "mass grave" Lanzhou people love to drink local Yellow River beer. The famous Yellow River Beer Plaza in Nanguan starts to take over Lanzhou City, which has always been famous for traffic jams, every summer evening and transforms into this place on time.

The most congested corner of the city.

Huanghe Beer Plaza also has a shocking name - mass graves. It is said that if you want to find friends you haven't seen in ten years, you can find them by walking around the mass graves, with the thunderous clinking of glasses and punches.

The sound finally makes people feel like they are in Lanzhou.

In addition, there are 8,000-person pits and 5,000-person pits in Lanzhou. No matter how small the beer plaza is, it can hold a company.

Sohu Travel recommends the classic tourist route Yellow River Mother Statue → Baita Mountain Park → Zhongshan Bridge → Waterwheel Expo Park. People who have been there say so* If I had not come to Lanzhou, I probably would never know what real ramen tastes like in my life - because in

Lanzhou Ramen in Shanghai has been changed beyond recognition. I guess many, many people have been deceived like me.

*Lanzhou is a city that won’t let you go once you’re there.

This sentence does not refer to Lanzhou's tyranny; on the contrary, cities as upright as Lanzhou are rare in China.

The righteousness of Lanzhou comes from the northwest wind. The sharp northwest wind brings out the dry and transparent temperament of Lanzhou people. But Lanzhou people also tell you that there is sand and dust in spring here, but there will never be yellow sand all year round.

The righteousness of Lanzhou also comes from the "tangtangshuishui" that Lanzhou people are good at. It is not the beef noodles we are familiar with, but the heroic wine culture.

In addition to the well-known beef noodles, Lanzhou's gray beans, sweet fermented grains, stuffed skin, hot winter fruits, sheep heads, steamed noodles, slurry noodles, fried noodles, thousand-layer beef cakes, fried cakes, fermented eggs, and pig offal

Noodles... all have their own characteristics.

Farmers Alley and Dazhong Alley are the places with the highest concentration of snacks in Lanzhou.

Transportation Although Lanzhou is located in the northwest, it is the geographical center of mainland China.

There are no important scenic spots in this city. Most tourists come here just for transit: heading north to Xinjiang, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia; heading west to Qinghai-Tibet; heading south to Sichuan, they all have to pass through Lanzhou.
