Gansu's territory is long and narrow. To the south, Longyou Tianshui is the hometown of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, and can be regarded as one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. To the north, part of the Hexi Corridor was once the territory of nomadic peoples, and it was only returned to the original map after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

There are more than 40 ethnic groups living together in Gansu, with numerous scenic spots and historic sites, rich ethnic customs, and the Silk Road running through the entire territory. The tourism resources are really rich.

Don’t forget the delicacies from all over the world, such as Tianshui’s guagua, Lanzhou’s beef noodles and hands, Wuwei’s poached fish, Zhangye’s rolled chicken, Jiayuguan Datang Food City’s barbecue, and Dunhuang’s night market. Remember to ask the locals about where they are.

Where to eat, most locals don’t go to the night market.
