Recommended scenic spots of Lanzhou Yellow River

The Yellow River is the mother river of China, with a total length of about 5,464 kilometers, and is one of the longest rivers in the world. When visiting Lanzhou, you must not miss the coastal scenery on the Yellow River amorous feelings line. Take Zhongshan Bridge as the central axis, stroll along the banks of the Yellow River and enjoy the scenery of the "Bund" in Lanzhou. To visit Lanzhou Yellow River, it is recommended to visit Zhongshan Bridge, Yellow River Mother Statue, Baitashan Park and Yellow River Cableway. The scenic spot has a beautiful natural environment and is a good place for leisure and taking photos. I suggest going to Lanzhou for 2 days.

Zhongshan Bridge Zhongshan Bridge is located at the foot of Baita Mountain in the north of Lanzhou, in front of Jincheng. It is one of the landmark buildings in Lanzhou. Standing on the bridge, you can overlook the white tower into the clouds.

Zhongshan Bridge is the oldest ancient bridge in Lanzhou and the first real bridge in the Yellow River, with a history of 100 years.

This bridge was designed by Man Baoben, an American, and Drouet, a German, and built by some foreign German craftsmen. Made of German materials.

Bridges are of great historical significance. Now, in order to ensure the safety of pedestrians and tourists, protect cultural relics and prohibit motor vehicles from passing.

Zhongshan Bridge has a long history. It is the first real bridge on the Yellow River, so it is called "the first bridge on the Yellow River in the world". There is only a strip of water here, connecting the north and the south. When you are wandering on the Zhongshan Bridge, holding the handrail, the breeze blows over your face and overlooking the rushing Yellow River at your feet, your heart will be as quiet and beautiful as the sunset. When you come here, you can see the Yellow River rushing under the bridge during the day and enjoy the night view of the Iron Bridge at night. The brightly lit Zhongshan Bridge has a unique flavor. I recommend you to see the night view. If you go during the Spring Festival, there will be many beautiful colored lights hanging on Zhongshan Bridge, so you might as well go and see them then. Zhongshan Bridge connects Baitashan Park and Shaanxi Opera Museum, both of which are free attractions. At the same time, it is not far from Zhengning Road Night Market and Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street. It takes 10 minutes to walk after eating the special dishes of the night market. If you want to eat a bowl of authentic Lanzhou beef noodles, you can go to Mazilu Beef Noodles Head Office in the middle of Dazhong Lane, only one stop away from Zhongshan Bridge. Cheap and good.

The statue of the Yellow River Mother is located in the middle section of Binhe Road on the south bank of the Yellow River in Lanzhou, north of Xiaoxihu Park. It is one of the most valuable sculptures representing the Mother River in China at present.

The sculpture consists of a "mother" and a "baby boy", symbolizing the Yellow River mother and Chinese descendants respectively. The base of the sculpture is carved with the original water ripples and fish patterns of ancient painted pottery in Gansu, which is also very rich in the display of Gansu Museum. If you have time, you can go to Gansu Museum to see the treasures of the town hall. There are many mural treasures in Horse Stepping on Swallows, which are absolutely valuable!

"Mother of the Yellow River" has now become an iconic sculpture in Lanzhou and also represents the image of Lanzhou. Walking 2 kilometers from Zhongshan Bridge, you can reach the sculpture of the Yellow River Mother, one of the landmark buildings in Lanzhou, which stands quietly on the south bank of the Yellow River. The kind and selfless mother of the Yellow River has nurtured Chinese children for thousands of years, and persevered in time and years, making Chinese children thrive. It is close to the water parking lot and West Lake Park. You can have a look if you have time. The water parking lot shows the wisdom of the ancient working people, and enjoys the waterwheel of the "water supply project" 500 years ago, and the scenic spot ticket to 20 yuan. West Lake Park, known as one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Lanzhou, was once the garden of Su Ming Palace, with a very local traditional style, and the scenic spot is free of tickets.

Baitashan Park Baitashan Park is located on the north bank of the Yellow River near the center of Lanzhou, and its entrance is connected with Zhongshan Bridge, which is an important scenic spot in Lanzhou. Baitashan Park is the most famous ancient white pagoda at the top of the mountain. There are many palace-style buildings in the mountain.

There is a cable car on the other side of the river. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the top of the mountain to reach the White Pagoda. The top of the tower offers a panoramic view of Lanzhou, and the Yellow River is at the foot of the mountain.

When the weather is fine, you can find a tea shop at the top of the mountain and have tea and chat in the breeze. Very pleasant. Climbing high and looking far, standing on the top of Baita Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Lanzhou. Climbing Baita Mountain, whether you want to climb the peak overlooking Zhongshan Bridge, watch the winding shape of the Yellow River rushing down, or look for perfect angle overlooking Lanzhou, you won't be disappointed here.

The original "Three Treasures of Zhenshan" on Baita Mountain-like drums, bronze bells and bauhinia trees, although Bauhinia Mountain has long since died out, it still leaves many historical sites and tourists are still bustling. It is recommended to climb the mountain around 6 o'clock in summer. At this time, you can just see the beautiful sunset. In autumn and winter, climbing mountains in the snow is another charm. There is a Baita Temple in Yuan Dynasty on the top of the mountain, and many people also come for the fame of Baita Temple.

If you take old people and children, it is recommended to take a cable car up the mountain on the other side of the Yellow River and walk to the top of the mountain for about 20 minutes to reach the White Pagoda. When the weather is fine, you can find a tea shop at the top of the mountain, learn from the locals, order a three-battery and blow a cup of tea, which is very comfortable. If it is the first snowy day, it is also exciting to invite friends to the top of the mountain to enjoy the snow. Tired of going down the mountain, there are many Lanzhou snack bars around to choose from. At the foot of the mountain, there is also the Shaanxi Opera Museum in Beibinhe Middle Road, where there is a small shadow play. Watch a local Qin opera performance and feel the traditional culture of northwest China. I recommend you to visit. Tickets are free.
