Speaking of Lanzhou, many friends may not know which attractions in Lanzhou are worth visiting. So in this article, the editor will tell you about the interesting attractions in Lanzhou. Come and take a look. What is there to do in Lanzhou

My Family Travel is held at the end of August every year

Due to the earthquake that destroyed Jiuzhaigou Valley last year, the planned trip to Sichuan has been put on hold. I originally planned to go there this time. Sichuan, unexpectedly changed to northwest. For people living in the Guangdong area, the northwest feels like "so far away"!

Before writing about my impression of Lanzhou, let me first send some brief thoughts, which are all useful information for reference.

It is the recent summer, and it is a good choice for people who have been shrouded and scorched in the 38-degree high temperature for a long time to choose to travel to the northwest to feel the coolness there. Due to the relatively large temperature difference between day and night in the northwest climate, and sometimes rainfall, according to the tour guide: weather forecasts are inaccurate and basically rely on calculation, so you need to be fully prepared for your luggage before departure, and try to bring as much as possible and not less! My home departure It’s just a big suitcase stuffed with a car to check in the entire journey.

Clothing: mainly summer clothes, choose bright colors or simply wear small items, hats, scarves, shawls, etc. to brighten the overall color matching

Face mask thermos cup: a must for those who love beauty Bring it! Although the climate here is cool, it is very dry. From the lips, nose to skin, there is always a feeling of lack. Replenish water regularly along the way and apply a facial mask before going to bed.

Others: sunscreen, sunglasses, rain gear, slippers, toiletries, etc.

On August 25, we set off on time as planned. The flight from Ningbo to Lanzhou took place at 8 a.m. After booking the flight and checking into the hotel, I still had half a day to stay in Lanzhou.

This time we plan to travel to the Northwest independently. We will sign up for a group tour all the way. All itineraries, hotels and rides will be arranged by the travel agency, which saves a lot of worry. Moreover, it is a family of four (11 people, 7 adults and 4 children). Small boutique tour, no shopping required.

The hotel arranged by Lanzhou is not bad, and it costs about 500 per night if you book it by yourself. The surrounding area is prosperous and well-equipped, with Wanda nearby and Lanzhou University's postgraduate and doctoral branch across the road. It takes about 10 minutes by taxi to Zhongshan Bridge, Mother of the Yellow River, Zhangye Road and Zhengning Snack Street. There are also several other hotels nearby. , you can compare before booking a hotel.

(Note: Compared with the cities I have been to, there are quite a lot of taxis in Lanzhou. You don’t have to wait for a long time, and there are basically people waving at the roadside)

Back to the topic, now it’s time to talk Impressed with Lanzhou.

When the flight landed, looking down from a high altitude, the biggest difference I saw was the "mountain". The mountains here are not majestic and lush, but low, layer by layer, bare. There is a visual shock that cannot be expressed in words.

The "Master" picked us up from Lanzhou Airport to the expressway and took the express lane. The tour guide said: Tourist bus drivers in the northwest cannot be called "drivers" because the drivers are those who pull trucks; the express lane You can also see many buildings and temples along the way, and the colors are quite beautiful.

If you have to define the impression of Lanzhou, then use "cultural heritage" and "popular voice".

This city does not feel much different from other cities we have visited. The hotel gave us the book "Speaking of Lanzhou". After reading the history of the city in the middle of the night, I had a better understanding of the overall cultural background here. Awareness. As early as 5,000 years ago, people were already living here. It was an important town on the ancient Silk Road; it was the place where the Yellow River, the "Mother River", the birthplace of Chinese civilization, flows; and it was where Qin Shihuang unified the six countries into thirty-six counties. One of them; the first national-level new district approved by the State Council in the northwest; as such a key city with a profound cultural heritage, the capital of Gansu Province is slightly depressed compared to Shanghai and Hangzhou.

Since we only had half a day, we could only choose the most worthwhile attractions, including the Yellow River Iron Bridge, Yellow River Mother, and Zhengning Night Market. The only thing I felt was that there were too many people, especially when walking into Zhengning Street. You can be overwhelmed by the crowds and delicious food.

The Yellow River Iron Bridge was renamed "Zhongshan Bridge" in 1942 in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

The first time I looked down at the Yellow River from the bridge, the yellow color was thick and sticky, and I felt bottomless. Because the Yellow River contained too much sediment, my first reaction was that I felt deeply sorry for the people of Lanzhou. Worry about drinking water (haha, worry about it).

There are big boats and bamboo rafts floating by on the Yellow River from time to time. At first glance when we saw the sheepskin raft, we didn’t know that it was the “raft” floating in the river. Q always pointed it at us and asked us to take a look. "Pig"! In an instant, the old man who served me next to me criticized me. In a place like the Northwest, due to religion, habits, beliefs, and taboos, you must always speak cautiously, for fear of offending someone.

Walking from Zhongshan Bridge to the Mother of the Yellow River, there is a small sculpture museum with several huge waterwheels. "Speaking of Lanzhou" mentioned that Lanzhou is known as the "Capital of Waterwheels". In order to recreate the scene of numerous waterwheels along the Yellow River more than 50 years ago, the Lanzhou government specially established a "Waterwheel Museum". There is a small canal called "Qu Shui Shui Dendrobium", and a particularly interesting celebration is held in March every year. I don't have enough time this time, so it is a feast for the eyes. If you have time, you can go and have a look.

It only takes one hour to walk from Zhongshan Bridge to the Yellow River Mother. There are some craftsmen setting up stalls along the road. If you pay attention, you can find some very exquisite handicrafts and two souvenirs.

The nightlife in Lanzhou is still very lively. When you walk into Zhengning Snack Street, you will be dazzled by the dazzling snacks. You don’t know where to start with them, such as stuffed skin, barbecue skewers, fruit tea, ice cream, etc. Such fruits make me feel so full while walking through the crowded crowd.

For food, it is recommended to eat near the hotel. The price of the snack street seems to be relatively expensive, so just visit if you are interested.

After visiting the key attractions, washing away the fatigue of the day, and waiting to get up early at 6:30 the next day to catch the bus, the Lanzhou trip is over.
