How about Lanzhou?

How to evaluate Lanzhou? In fact, when this question is raised, the curses you hear are far greater than the praises. It doesn't matter if outsiders criticize Lanzhou, the most important thing is that your own people will follow suit and curse. Let me objectively evaluate Lanzhou

1. Lanzhou was once an old city in China. Later, due to the changes of the times and the reform of the economic system, Lanzhou gradually fell from the fifteenth to the outside of the 100th in China's economy. It took a few years for GDP to reach 100th place. Compared with other cities, Lanzhou City can be said to have had no development from the 1990s to the past few years! However, the “One Belt, One Road” policy has seen a slight improvement in development in recent years. As long as we seize the country’s millennium plan, I think Lanzhou’s development is still worth looking forward to!

2. People who have never been to Lanzhou say it is a desert, but those who have lived there should know that the Yellow River passes through the city. Lanzhou is basically not short of water, and the water it lacks is only "precipitation". Many people may say that the two mountains in Lanzhou are bare and lack green vegetation, but I want to say that as you go, planting trees in Lanzhou is not that simple!

3. "Poor". When you hear Gansu, it means poor. When you hear Lanzhou, many people don't know where it is. Although it is poor, Lanzhou is still a provincial capital city, but many poorer places also like to laugh at Lanzhou.

Many people who say Lanzhou is poor only look at the annual GDP rankings! People in some places regard that list as the pride of their hometown! But I want to say that the level of a city’s GDP has nothing to do with you. Lanzhou is not as poor as imagined. Even if you look at the GDP rankings, although it is only more than 250 billion, its population of 3 million is actually better off than many places. I believe that Lanzhou will seize the opportunity of being a core city in the “Belt and Road Initiative” and will gradually get better in the future.

How about letting an outsider living in Lanzhou answer Lanzhou?

I am a foreigner who has settled in Lanzhou. I have lived in Lanzhou for 28 years by the 10th day of the sixth lunar month. During these years in Lanzhou, I have been filled with emotions. I have experienced ups and downs, tasted sweetness, and enjoyed happiness. Sadly, Lanzhou is already my second hometown.

After living in Lanzhou for so many years, the most comfortable thing is the pleasant climate. Although it is cold in winter, there is heating in the house and air conditioning in the car, so I don’t feel the trouble of being cold in winter. Sometimes it can be very hot in summer, but Lanzhou is famous for being an air-conditioned city. The heat lasts only a few days in the summer, and the rain washes away the heat wave, so the summer is very comfortable. It rains after two hot days, and you don't feel the heat at all.

Lanzhou in spring is even more picturesque. The clear Yellow River water flows with a tinkling sound, green willows sway on both sides of the bank, flowers and plants bloom, green mountains and clear water are really as beautiful as a picture scroll.

Lanzhou’s melons and fruits in autumn are fragrant and dazzling, satisfying the taste buds of Lanzhou people and enticing many foreign tourists.

Lanzhou’s specialty snacks are even more colorful. Beef noodles are something you can eat without getting bored. Milk fermented glutinous rice, gray beans, hot winter pear, cold skin, barbecue and many other special snacks satisfy the taste buds of Lanzhou people. It has made many foreign tourists salivate.

The Yellow River in Lanzhou is picturesque, and the night view is even called Little Hong Kong. In summer, the Yellow River is a great place to enjoy the scenery and cool off. Zhongshan Bridge is a must-visit place for internet celebrities. Now there are Lanzhou Old Street and Lanzhou Center, adding a lot of charm to Lanzhou.

Lanzhou now has a subway. Although the city is small, it has all the necessary facilities, including Lanzhou, which is a big city. It is convenient to travel and has a pleasant climate. After staying in this city for 28 years, I have become accustomed to everything in this city. Although I am not from Lanzhou, After so many years, you can be considered a part of Lanzhou!

In the eyes of outsiders who don’t know Lanzhou, Lanzhou is like riding a camel in a desert storm and eating potatoes and eggs for the poor in the northwest.

Don’t you know that Lanzhou has been making progress. Although its development cannot keep up with the pace of first- and second-tier cities, it is also like the first- and second-tier cities. I wish Lanzhou will get better and better and more beautiful! I am happy and proud to live in Lanzhou.

Lanzhou is a city where living in it makes you feel happy and comfortable.

The city of Lanzhou has a special personality. It may seem casual, but it is actually quite exquisite. Compared with the gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, Lanzhou is like a handsome guy in a jacket, with a unique charm.

Lanzhou is not as prosperous as Xi'an, nor lacks fashion; Lanzhou is not as big as Urumqi, and is full of concentrated essence.

The two mountains in the north and south sandwich a river, which immediately gives Lanzhou an aura that is superior to most cities in the northwest and even the west. The scenery of the forty-mile Yellow River is no less than that of the Shanghai Bund; if the waves on the banks of the picturesque Yellow River hadn't made you cool and comfortable, you would have thought they were waves on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing!

Warm winters and cool summers, with four distinct seasons, are a major feature of Lanzhou. When the flowers bloom, the orioles sing and the swallows dance. There is no scorching heat in July, the fruits are fragrant in the golden autumn, and there is no severe cold when the snow falls. It is really a great enjoyment to live in Lanzhou.

Lanzhou people are forthright and lively. What they love most is to get together often, eat big chunks of meat, and drink big bowls of wine. Every morning, when the morning sun shines, the beef noodle restaurant is steaming with steam. Holding a big bowl, he casually squats on the street and eats, not forgetting to say hello to his acquaintances: "Here, let's have a bowl of noodles!"

The young men in Lanzhou are not barbaric, they are cheerful and cheerful; the girls in Lanzhou are cheerful and enthusiastic, tall and slender with double eyelids.

Lanzhou’s dialect is so nice. A little closer to Mandarin, it’s Jinglan dialect.

Lanzhou is a city where everyone, rich or poor, can live a prosperous life.

To be honest, if you have no better place to go, Lanzhou is probably the best place for you to come.

Lanzhou is good, a city that can accommodate all corners of the world.

Lanzhou is located in the northwest of the motherland, a city with mountains and rivers where the Yellow River runs through it! Most people’s knowledge of Lanzhou comes from Lanzhou Ramen. When talking about Lanzhou, they will mention a bowl of noodles! But there is more to Lanzhou than just noodles. The charm of this city requires you to come and savor it in person!

As the provincial capital of Gansu, Lanzhou is the political, economic and cultural center of Gansu. Due to its special geographical location, it is also the hub of transportation connecting the east and west of the motherland. People say that mountains represent weight and water represent tolerance. Lanzhou is a city of mountains and rivers with the Yellow River running through it. The special geographical environment has shaped the character of the people of Lanzhou. The boys are bold and the girls are generous. When you come to Lanzhou and listen to the enthusiastic Jinglan accent, you can feel the enthusiasm of this western city!

Lanzhou is also a city of gourmet food and fruits. In the golden autumn season, many local fruits such as white pumpkins, white phoenix peaches, Shatian melons, yellow river honeys, fresh lilies, and bitter water roses are dazzling and mouth-watering. Sufficient light and huge temperature differences between day and night make Lanzhou's fruits famous all over the world. ! Beef noodles, milk and egg fermented glutinous rice, gray bean soup, hot winter fruits, stuffed skin, sweet embryos and many other delicacies will surely make you enjoy a gourmet feast.

Lanzhou, with its beautiful scenery, enthusiastic people and abundant delicious food, is moving towards a new era!

The Yellow River in Lanzhou is beautiful, the air is clear, and Lanzhou Ramen is delicious. Now Lanzhou has convenient transportation and beautiful environment. Lanzhou is very beautiful.

The first time I got to know Lanzhou was when I went to Dunhuang for the first time. When I was doing guides, I saw many people saying that Lanzhou had nothing to see and was just a transit stop. When I landed at Zhongchuan Airport and took the bus to the city, I was shocked by the color and desolation of the endless loess in the Hexi Corridor.

I have a habit of visiting a museum wherever I go, because it is the most direct way to understand regional culture and history, so I have visited many museums in the past. Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu Province, and the Gansu Provincial Museum was the first project after landing. I was shocked! Gansu Provincial Expo is located on the bank of the Yellow River. From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the desolate loess hills. The venue design is very grand.

As a visitor, my favorites are the two museums of Painted Pottery and Silk Road, Dadiwan, Yangshao, Majiayao... Those exquisite and well-preserved painted pottery are unbelievable, as if they have traveled through time. .

Gansu is a big province of grottoes. There are many exquisite grottoes in various places. There are two of the four major grottoes in my country. The grottoes special topic of the Silk Road Pavilion introduces the rise and fall of the grottoes in detail, and displays exquisite grottoes. The stone carvings and statues make people linger here, and the famous Chinese tourism symbol "Horse Treading on Flying Swallows" also comes from here.

Often, I would strongly recommend the Gansu Provincial Expo to friends who want to go to Gansu. When in Lanzhou, I also recommend friends who like grotto art to go to Bingling Temple. It was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and was once second only to the Mogao Grottoes. Due to the Liujiaxia Reservoir, you need to take a car or a boat to go to Bingling Temple, but this process adds to the specialness of the trip.

It is also recommended that friends who go to Lanzhou can visit the night view of the Iron Bridge (Zhongshan Bridge) and experience the new style of the ancient Yellow River.

You can’t go out without eating it, and you can’t avoid eating ramen in Lanzhou! Lanzhou Ramen (by the way, Lanzhou friends corrected it as "beef noodles") represents the essence of Gansu noodles. Whether it is noodles, meat, soup, or scene, it is worth experiencing in person, and it can be said that many noodle restaurants in Lanzhou serve very good noodles. It's delicious, even better than the ones in the Mainland. In addition to the beef noodles, the hand-caught mutton is also recommended.

When talking about Lanzhou, we have to talk about Lanzhou people. In fact, the people in the northwest are very honest and simple. I have received a lot of help from the people in the northwest. Once when I was eating on Zhangye Street, I left my mobile phone in the hotel. It took me more than an hour to remember it. I thought I couldn't find it properly, but unexpectedly I found it properly. Lanzhou people are so nice!

Hello everyone! I am my Heer, and I am very happy to answer this question.

When it comes to the word "Lanzhou", I believe most people will associate it with "Great Northwest", "Lanzhou Ramen" and "Red Er Tuan". When Lanzhou people ridicule and defend themselves, they always add a lot of catchphrases such as: "尕", "唔", "AO", "岔Sani"... This is what I do, Born and raised in Lanzhou, the locals have known it since childhood.

Lanzhou, Gansu Province, is in the geometric center of China’s land map and is also the only provincial capital city with the main stream of the Yellow River passing through the city. There is a bowl of noodles called Lanzhou Beef Noodles here; there is a magazine called "Reader". Gansu is also a province where the famous Silk Road passes through. There is an art treasure house called Mogao Grottoes; there is a heavy industry called non-ferrous rare metals, and there is a base called Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base.

Lanzhou's "Yellow River Mother" sculpture and Lanzhou's Zhongshan Iron Bridge are both landmark buildings in the city. Lanzhou City is almost surrounded by mountains. Lanzhou is backed by the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Before modern times, after entering Lanzhou from the Central Plains and then heading west, it was basically an uninhabited area with harsh climate and natural conditions. Before economic development, the Hexi Corridor was still dominated by livestock and seasonal agriculture.

According to historical records, the Yellow River was the boundary between Xixia and Northern Song Dynasty in Lanzhou. It is said that the defensive tasks were the most difficult and important in winter because the Yellow River would freeze. There were many times in history that the defenders were unable to resist. The imperial court discussed whether to abandon Lanzhou, a border city. The terrain of Gansu is long and narrow, with complex and diverse landforms, including mountains, plateaus, plains, river valleys, deserts, and Gobi. It is surrounded by mountains and ridges, and the terrain slopes from southwest to northeast.

Gansu is located at the intersection of the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau. It is also one of the provinces farthest from the ocean. Because of these stereotyped interpretations and ridicules, many people will still say that Lanzhou, a poor place like Gansu, has what qualifications to gain a sense of presence?

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lanzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes. Due to the heavy industry circle formed by the military region and resource conditions, a large number of technical young people from all over the country have supported the Northwest to settle down and take root here. The nation is always tolerant, and a large number of Promising young people find a sense of belonging in this remote city of Lanzhou.

At 17:38 on June 11, 2013, the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft, which was developed by my country and has completely independent intellectual property rights, was successfully launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province. The faces of us Gansu people once again rippled With an excited smile, Gansu people are proud of the prosperity of their motherland; Gansu people are proud of the strength of their motherland... These are the upright and forthright Gansu people! When you really set foot on this land, you will be shocked. When you see so many hard-working, simple and unknown people who have dedicated their lives to this barren land, you will really feel that we are the same. Chinese people feel extremely happy and excited!

Lansan is located in the geographical center of our country. Transportation is convenient in all directions. The trip to northwest China starts from Lanzhou. Lansan City is located between two mountains and one river (Gaolan Mountain, Baita Mountain, and the Yellow River). There is neither extreme heat in summer nor severe cold in winter. It is a city suitable for living and living. Lanzhou is a city with a long history, profound cultural heritage, and numerous historical sites and tourist attractions. During the Anti-Japanese War, the National Government prepared to move the capital to Lanzhou (later abandoned due to various reasons). In the urban area, there are Wuquan Mountain, Baita Mountain, Yellow River Style Line, Yellow River Mother Sculpture, Waterwheel Expo Park, Yantan Park, Renshou Mountain, Gansu Provincial Museum and other attractions. Xinglong Mountain in the suburbs. Liujiaxia Reservoir, Shichuan and Liyuan are all famous. Lanzhou is rich in outstanding people.

Lanzhou beef noodles, lily, rose, Lanzhou shisha, soft pear. Big melon seeds and winter pears are very popular among people. Famous CCTV program hosts: Shui Junyi, Zhu Jun, Pei Xinhua, etc. are all from Lanzhou. Lanzhou is a beautiful city with mountains and rivers. Guests from all over are welcome to visit Lanzhou for sightseeing.

Lanzhou is the capital city of Gansu. To evaluate Lanzhou, I think the following three aspects have to be mentioned.

1. Urban development and consumption level

In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, Lanzhou’s urban development is still eye-catching. First of all, the renovation of the old city and streets has resulted in more new high-rise buildings in Lanzhou and the streets have become more beautiful and tidy. Among them, the development in places like Yantan and Wulipu is particularly obvious. Secondly, Lanzhou’s commercial pattern has been formed, focusing on real estate, large supermarkets, building materials and home furnishings, logistics parks, catering and entertainment.

In recent years, Lanzhou's consumption level has also risen sharply, which is mainly reflected in the high prices. Such as daily diet, clothing, shoes and hats, transportation rental, housing prices, etc.

2. Economic development and income level

Looking at the entire northwest region, Lanzhou’s economic development is not at the forefront, and its overall GDP level is very low. In Lanzhou, people's overall income level is also very low. The monthly income in general industries is about 2,000-3,500 yuan, and more than 3,500 is considered a good wage income.

3. Cultural atmosphere and local folk customs

Some people have long said that Lanzhou is a barbaric land, but Lanzhou is a city with a very cultural atmosphere. Lanzhou has the nationally famous magazine "Reader", which is a good illustration. The people in Lanzhou are simple and simple, and they like to sing Qin Opera and Hua'er. There is also the Taiping Drum, which is also a major folk feature of Lanzhou.
