Legend has it that there is a travel note of Lanzhou, a northwestern city of Manhattan at night.

Speaking of Lanzhou, what is your first impression?

Apart from Lamian Noodles and Lanzhou, my impression of Lanzhou is vague, and my yearning for the western customs is finally hard to restrain after day-to-day accumulation. Even if I don't have much time, it's ok to go to Lanzhou sometime ~

So, on Saturday morning, I set off from Beijing and started a trip to the northwest city ~

Lanzhou City is built along the foothills on both sides of the Yellow River. Although it is not as ups and downs as Chongqing, relying on the swift current of the mother river, Lanzhou seems to show the unique warmth of the northwest city.

When I arrived in Lanzhou, I went to the hotel to check in and put down unnecessary luggage. The room was not cleaned up because it was taken too early. I waited in the lobby for a while and flipped through a book at random. Maybe it was fate. This passage in the Book of Changes seems to be in line with my current mood.

I have been in Anxin Yaduo, Anning District, Lanzhou, and the word "An" seems to have any meaning. It seems to be a coincidence in all kinds of life, and it seems that language has stopped some secrets of life.

I lifted the veil of the hotel balcony and saw the endless Yellow River water.

I stayed in the hotel for a while, ready to go downstairs for a walk and solve my lunch by the way.

The rainy season is over, and the water level of the Yellow River is still a little high.

To my surprise, although it is a weekend, there are not many pedestrians on the road, but the traffic is dense and the streets are empty. Accustomed to Beijing people coming and going, I suddenly feel uncomfortable.

Along the way, I kept thinking about what to eat for lunch. This question seems to have been answered long ago. When you come to Lanzhou, how can you miss the famous Lanzhou Lamian Noodles!

I found a high-rated one on the internet and searched all the way. To tell the truth, the bowl of Lamian Noodles I ate in Lanzhou is different from what I used to eat.

There is neither beef nor radish in the Lamian Noodles here. The soup should be cooked with beef bones, but if you want beef and radish, you should separate them. Sprinkle a thick layer of chopped green onion and coriander on the surface. If you don't make special demands on your younger brother, he will add a spoonful of Chili oil to you.

After all, Lamian Noodles without beef is soulless. I ordered a beef and a bowl of radish (in fact, it is the radish in the soup, and there is hardly any in the noodle bowl). Although it is a thin piece of beef, I still can't help but give me a thumbs-up ~ ~

What must be said here is that the Chili oil in Lanzhou looks prosperous, but it is not spicy, very fragrant, and has a faint Chili flavor. With a refreshing and delicious noodle soup entrance, it really can't stop.

After dinner, walk forward and arrive near the statue of the Yellow River Mother, which should be regarded as the landmark of Lanzhou. But because of the large number of tourists, I stopped taking pictures alone and walked along the banks of the Yellow River. The flood near the pier has not subsided.

Further on is the Zhongshan Bridge in the center of Lanzhou, which is a footbridge, and its structure is a bit like the Waibaidu Bridge in Shanghai.

On the other side of the bridge is Baitashan Park built by the mountain. Speaking of the White Pagoda, the first thing that comes to mind is the White Pagoda in Beijing Beihai Park. But at first glance, I didn't seem to see any white buildings on Zhongshan Bridge, so I decided to climb the mountain with full curiosity.

A little higher, you can overlook Zhongshan Bridge.

However, when I climbed to the highest point of the park, I found that the White Pagoda was no longer the White Pagoda. How can I put it? It's a bit like the Little Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi 'an, with a yellow appearance and relatively small size. There is no photo taken alone here, but it is a good place for city sightseeing.

I chose to take the cableway down the mountain, not because I couldn't walk, but because I wanted to experience the feeling of the Yellow River.

I got off the ropeway and took a taxi to country-specific ones.

In fact, going to country-specific ones is mainly for the night view of country-specific ones, but because it is still early, I plan to go to the famous "farmhouse" Manshan Garden on country-specific ones.

The mountain road is rugged, and I feel that only local old drivers can control the mountain road in Lanshan. When I get to Manshan Garden, my eyes shine.

The bright and simple decoration is in great contrast with the large glass French windows and various traditional farmhouses along the way.

I ordered a cup of self-help scented tea and a set meal of coarse grains on the outdoor sofa, which is really a good place to be in a daze.

Unconsciously, at night, the night view of Manshan seems more charming.

The lawn in the backyard is rented for marriage, and the venue seems to make people feel like a small town in Europe.

Looking at the time, you can just go to the observation deck halfway up the mountain to see the night view of Lanzhou.

However, it is difficult to take a taxi down the mountain, so we can only take a private chartered bus 50 on the mountain and let us watch the night scene on the observation deck on the way.

As for the night view of the country, there is a saying that Afghanistan is the day and Manhattan is the night. I have to say that Lanzhou at night is as charming as the starry sky in Wan Li under the city light show.

After coming down from country-specific ones, I was supposed to go to the local night market for supper, but the company had something to deal with online temporarily, so I had to go back to the hotel first.

There are always some regrets on the trip, aren't there?

I woke up at eight o'clock the next morning. According to my preference, I like to go to local shops to eat local breakfast, but it is said that the hotel provides local breakfast, so I plan to try the hotel breakfast this time.

In the end, I was not disappointed. I ordered two noodles-beef noodles and Zhajiang Noodles. There's nothing left. I ate it all.

On the second day in Lanzhou, my greatest wish is to go to Gansu Provincial Museum and see the legendary flying swallow.

Compared with other provincial fairs, the fair in Gansu Province is not big, and it can basically be visited in two or three hours.

Before you leave, you should naturally drink a cup of cultural relics coffee, which smells like flying swallows ~

However, the Wenchuang Museum in Bo, Gansu Province is still very good. If you want to buy a gift, this is a good choice.

Write it at the end

Lanzhou airport is far from the city center, and the traffic jam in the city is also serious, so enough time is reserved to go to the airport.

Along the way, the weather changed from cloudy to sunny, and the vast northwest of Liaoyuan once again impacted the visual nerve.

Time is very urgent, because there is only one weekend, and there are many natural scenery in the northwest. Let's continue to unlock it next time ~
