I am a native of Gansu. Today I will introduce Gansu food first, and then I will introduce travel to Gansu.

Gansu cuisine, which combines the food culture of multiple ethnic groups and the Western Regions, is a shining pearl left in human history!

First, let’s take a look at what delicacies are available in Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province.

The first, needless to say, beef noodles!

Note: It’s beef noodles!

beef noodles!

beef noodles!

Not Lanzhou Ramen!

(The two are not the same thing! Ramen is all made by Qinghai people in places other than Gansu) Gansu only has beef noodles!

Lanzhou only has beef noodles!

If you see a ramen restaurant near Lanzhou Railway Station and Airport, turn around and leave!

That’s a lie to outsiders!

If you ask which beef noodle restaurant is the best, everyone in Lanzhou will have a different answer.

Ma Zilu, Ma Youbu, Wu Muller, Dongfang Palace... I can't tell you all in one day.

Anyway, as long as you see a long queue at the door of any beef noodle restaurant early in the morning, you can't go wrong.

Friendly reminder: Beef Noodles is only open from early morning to noon. Generally, the beef noodles are closed after two o'clock.

Qingyang City—Longdong.

It belongs to the Loess Plateau, located in the eastern part of Gansu Province, bordering northern Shaanxi and Ningxia. It is the place with the deepest loess layer in the world.

It is also the birthplace of Chinese farming culture. King Wen of Zhou moved his capital to Qingyang, the birthplace of Zhou ancestral culture.

This is a wealthy area, rich in oil, natural gas, and coal. Qingyang City is too far away from the provincial capital Lanzhou. Ordinary people will not go to Lanzhou unless government officials are going to attend meetings and study, in which case they will fly.

Yes, you read that right, in this prefecture-level city with 7 counties and 1 district, the main transportation is airplane!

airplane!

Direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Tianjin, Harbin, Yinchuan, Lanzhou, Xi'an, Dunhuang and other cities.

Let’s introduce the geography and landforms of Gansu: Gansu Province has 12 prefecture-level cities and 2 autonomous prefectures, namely: Lanzhou City, Jiayuguan City, Jinchang City, Baiyin City, Tianshui City, Jiuquan City, Zhangye City, Wuwei City, and Dingxi City

City, Longnan City, Pingliang City, Qingyang City, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.

It has a vast territory and many ethnic groups.

The terrain is diverse and the overall shape resembles a big Ruyi shape.

Gansu is divided into six parts: the Longnan Mountains, the Longdong Loess Plateau, the Gannan Plateau, the Hexi Corridor, the Qilian Mountains, and the area north of the Hexi Corridor.

Each of these six regions is different.

Longnan Mountainous Area: Close to Sichuan and southern Shaanxi.

The forest coverage rate is relatively high, and the famous Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is where Longnan meets Sichuan.
