1. Cultural attractions: Lanzhou University, a century-old school (take bus No.1 at the railway station, two stops away); Reader Publishing Group (get off at Gansu Painting Academy Station on Ring Line 34).
2. It's said that the classic dance drama "Thinking of Flowers and Rain", which was recently presented at the National Grand Theatre in Beijing as a gift for the 6th National Day, can be described as a cultural classic of Lanzhou and China. It is worth seeing.
3. From east to west along Nanbinhe Road, you can watch the sculptures Bolang, Wild Goose in Pingsha, Source of Life, Lanzhou Waterwheel Expo Park (charge), Centennial Yellow River Iron Bridge, Yellow River Mother Sculpture (Yellow River Iron Bridge, Yellow River Mother Expo Park are recommended) and Yellow River Mother Sculpture in turn for free in the 4-kilometer-long strip park. It is worth recommending.
4. Follow the North Riverside Road from the east (Yellow River Railway Bridge) to the west, and watch the Long Yuan in turn, as well as the park with the theme of painted pottery unearthed in Majiayao (I can't remember the name). After passing through the West Railway Station, you can feel the modern atmosphere of Lanzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone and the construction achievements of Lanzhou New City.
5. Shopping: it is recommended to purchase special products (such as Lanzhou Lily, Minxian Angelica, Longnan Longjing Tea, Kangxian Auricularia, Jiuquan Luminous Cup, Jiuquan Cynomorium, etc.) from Longcuitang or Weihe Source near Donggang West Road and Panxuan Road. Except for a few super-large cities, large shopping malls are similar in the whole country, so they are not recommended.
6. Zhou Bianyou: (It is recommended to join a tour group) As there are only five days, a short tour is recommended. You can go to Xinglong Mountain (National 5A Forest Park), Liujiaxia and Yeliguan (known for its mountains and rivers and forests, a little like Jiuzhai).
7. Feel the Yellow River culture in the only provincial capital city that passes through the city. It is necessary to take a sheepskin raft to experience how people crossed the Yellow River in ancient times. Gansu Provincial Museum, Lanzhou Museum, the site of the Eighth Route Army's office in Lanzhou, and Dengjia Garden are all open to visitors free of charge. Located at the top of Baita Mountain, the Forest of Monuments in Lanzhou has the only complete edition of Siku Quanshu. At the same time, you can enjoy the landscape of Lanzhou and the ink of Gansu calligraphy circles in past dynasties.
8. Gourmet: Beef noodles (commonly referred to as Lanzhou Lamian Noodles by non-local people) are the first thing to do. It is recommended not to go to any famous shops. It's really not as authentic as ordinary shops on the street. It's delicious. If you want to eat, I suggest you get up in the morning and see if there are many people eating in the restaurant. If there are many people, that's right. Secondly, you can try authentic ethnic dishes in restaurants such as Yunfeng Catering, Yinfeng Catering, Ma Zhonghua and Fat Mom, and you must eat "hand-grabbed mutton" (you must be used to it). As for snacks, you can go to Dazhong Lane of Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street to taste such things as sweet plums, winter pears, and so on. 9. Accommodation: budget hotels such as Home Inn, 7 days, etc. Star hotels include Sunshine (five-star), Jinjiang Sunshine (four-star), Lanzhou Hotel (four-star), Huarui Building (quasi-four-star), Radisson (three-star) and so on.
1. If time permits, you can visit the Museum of Paleontology in Linxia and Hexian County. It is said that it has more development potential than the Terracotta Warriors and Horses and the Mogao Grottoes, and there are many unique paleontology fossils in the world (Hong Kong Phoenix Weekly). It also belongs to a scenic spot that is not known to most people.
