What free tourist attractions around Lanzhou are worth recommending?

If you have seen the Hexi Corridor, you must really want to go to Lanzhou, which integrates scenery, history and civilization, to experience the shock brought by ancient time and space. As the capital of Gansu Province and the central city of northwest China, Dunhuang in the north, Gannan in the south, Xining in the west and Yinchuan in the east can be said to be the only place to travel in the west. Traveling to Lanzhou is really economical. Many popular scenic spots are free, with few people and beautiful scenery. This is really a treasure trove of tourism.

1. Gansu Provincial Museum

You need to make an appointment online, swipe your ID card and enter for free. It is recommended to make an appointment three days in advance. The most interesting thing to record the history of Gansu is "riding on a swallow". I suggest you visit Lanzhou, cooperate with the explanation, and learn more about Lanzhou. Free lectures are given at 10 and 14, and you can follow the public tour guide. The overall explanation takes about 40 minutes.

? It's actually very small.

◆ Address: No.3 Xijin West Road, Qilihe District, Lanzhou

Tickets: Reservation is required.

◆ Opening hours: closed on Mondays (except holidays), open at 9:00, 16: 15, 16:30, 17:00.

2. Waterwheel Expo Park

There are dozens of waterwheels in the park, all of which are very big. It is also the former site of the "Waterwheel Garden" in history, which reproduces the spectacular scene of waterwheels on both sides of the Yellow River in Lanzhou. Here you can really experience the fun of turning the waterwheel ~ you can feel the wisdom of the ancients to fetch water, and you can also feed pigeons and enjoy flowers.

3. Zhongshan Bridge

Zhongshan bridge

Zhongshan Bridge, also known as Lanzhou Yellow River shovel, is the first iron bridge on the Yellow River.

As one of the most convenient scenic spots in the city center, it takes about 20 meters to play on the bridge. After dinner, I will take a walk here to digest food and drink a cup of sweet embryo milk tea, not to mention how comfortable it is.

At night, the lights on the Baita Mountain on the other side look a bit like Jiufen Mountain City at first glance.

Address: at the foot of Baita Mountain on the north side of the middle section of Binhe Road, Chengguan District

Lighting time: 20:00 pm, lighting time 24:00 pm.

4. Lanzhou Museum

Lanzhou museum

Shibo is not as famous as Shengbo, but it is really worth visiting! It's not far from the downtown bustling business district. You can stop by. In addition to the exhibition, the museum is actually located in Baiyi Temple, and the tower inside is worth seeing.

◆ Address: No.240 Qingyang Road, Lanzhou ◆

Tickets: free, by appointment.

◆ Opening hours: 9:00~ 12:00 in off-season, 14:30~ 17:30: 8: 30 ~12: 00/4: 30 ~/in peak season.

5. Santaige

Night view of Santaige

Address: navigate to Santaige parking lot.

After driving for more than half an hour, I have been winding uphill, but every time I turn around, I will be amazed by the night view of Lanzhou.

It is said that Santaige is suitable to come in the evening, from sunset to night view, and experience the wonderful landscape of "Afghanistan in the daytime and Manhattan in the evening" in Lanzhou.

6. Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

Sang Ke grassland

There is not enough time to run the Sichuan-Tibet line, but Gannan is the first choice if you want to feel Tibetan culture. You can go to the Sangke grassland and have a panoramic view of human culture. The scenery along the way is really wonderful for southerners. There are snow-capped mountains on both sides. The closer you get to Gannan, the more you start to smell of Tibetans. With an average altitude of 3000 meters, you can get rid of the trouble of altitude sickness and enjoy the scenery in northwest China and Tibetan customs in a comfortable state.

Many people travel in Lanzhou as a transit, and it is also an excellent choice to come to Lanzhou as a tourist destination to feel the local enthusiasm.
