Basic introduction of Gaolan Mountain

Gaolan Mountain belongs to Lanzhou's famous mountain strange gorge tourist resort.

Gaolan Mountain is located in the south of Lanzhou City, standing at the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2 1.70 meters, and you can have a panoramic view of the city. This is a rare landscape in cities all over the country, so Gaolan Mountain has won the reputation of "the best urban landscape in China". Gaolan Mountain used to be a bald mountain with "sheepskin upside down and not touching an inch of grass".

After years of hard work, Lanzhou citizens carried the ice up the mountain and built a water lifting project, which turned Huang Tu into a lush artificial forest park-Lanshan Park. There are not only the Peony Garden, the first mountain in the northwest, but also several quaint modern hotels, as well as dozens of teahouses and restaurants run by farmers built on the mountain. Almost every teahouse is equipped with entertainment facilities such as "karaoke". Some teahouses simply put soft chairs and coffee tables in the open air. Many tourists lie on soft chairs, drinking Lanzhou Gaiwan tea, enjoying the cool and chatting, or indulging in enthusiastic singing and dancing. National scenic spots receive 700,000 tourists from home and abroad every year. In July, Gaolan Mountain has the most night tourists. Some tourists climb to the top of the mountain by car along the winding mountain road, while more tourists like to climb the mountain by cable car with lights. In the background of night, the cable car flies in the air like a dragon. The three pavilions on the top of the mountain are simple and lofty, with blue bricks and tiles, which are not only the symbols of country-specific ones, but also the most lively places in Gaolan Mountain. When I boarded the three pavilions, I saw the bright moon in the sky, the stars shining, the lights at the foot of the mountain bright, and a string of cars flying like fireflies in the city.

Looking around, the long and narrow Lanzhou City is dancing like a colorful "golden carp".
