The first time I went to Lanzhou, I was impressed by 10, which was chaotic, crowded and inexplicable.

Speaking of Lanzhou, many people who haven't been there have the first impression of poverty, drought and backwardness, but in fact, after you have been there, you will find that this is not the case. The city where the Yellow River passes through the city is richer and more exciting than expected.

This is my first feeling when I arrived in Lanzhou, because my first stop in the northwest was Yinchuan, which was spacious and tidy with few people and cars, so it was inevitable to feel this way when I arrived in Lanzhou.

Many roads in Lanzhou are not wide, the traffic is chaotic, and it is easy to be congested. A scene that impressed me deeply at that time was that at many intersections, there were sidewalks in the horizontal direction, but there were no sidewalks in the vertical direction, which was rarely encountered in other cities. Then you would find that you had to cross the overpass to cross the intersection, but many pedestrians refused to cross the overpass, which violated many traffic rules and then aggravated the congestion.

It may be due to the climate in the northwest, or it may be that Lanzhou developed earlier and felt that roads and buildings were dusty.

Although it is said that Lanzhou is messy and crowded, and the city is old and obsolete, it still can't resist the inexplicable literature and customs here. It may be the intangible influence of various literary and artistic works, or it may be that the mother river and the Yellow River pass through the city, giving Lanzhou this unique style. When it comes to literature and art in Lanzhou, we have to mention folk songs. Lanzhou folk songs are all representatives of Lanzhou folk songs, such as Lanzhou and Yellow River Ballad. Besides, Lanzhou is also mentioned in many folk songs, such as Miss Dong.

Then there is the publishing house of Reader, the magazine with the largest circulation in China, which is located in Lanzhou.

Lanzhou gives me the feeling that it is messy, but it is also full of street flavor, messy and charming. The narrow alley is full of fireworks. There are too many alleys like Muta Lane, both well-known and unknown. Shuttling through it is always a surprise. In the afternoon and evening, people after work are all shopping, and fireworks are full of gas.

Moreover, Lanzhou people are much more popular than Yinchuan and Xining. From morning till night, the streets are full of people, especially after school, the streets are full of students.

There are not many scenic spots in Lanzhou. In provincial capital cities, there are fewer scenic spots than Changchun, so many people regard Lanzhou as a transit point to visit the northwest, and then go to eat a bowl of beef noodles for a day trip.

In addition to the city card: Yellow River, there are Zhongshan Bridge, Baitashan Park, the statue of the Yellow River mother, and then the Gansu Provincial Museum, which is the highlight of Lanzhou travel. Gambo has many treasure-level exhibits. The symbol of China tourism "Flying Swallow on horseback" is the treasure of Gansu Provincial Museum, and there are also a series of cultural relics related to the ancient Silk Road civilization.

Along the way, I found that the night market culture in northwest cities is very rich. Whether Yinchuan or Lanzhou, Zhengning Road Night Market is the most famous night market in Lanzhou. The things sold in it are also very northwest, such as roast beef and mutton, gluten, milk and egg paste, Chinese hamburger and so on.

Beef noodles is another business card of Lanzhou. Before I came to Lanzhou, what attracted me most was the beef noodles here. I wanted to eat beef noodles here one weekend. The taste characteristics of each family are not very similar. There are delicious noodles, soup, beef and pepper. You can eat more and see which one you like best.

Lanzhou people have special feelings for the first pot of beef noodles in Daqing, because the first pot of soup is delicious, but as a foreigner, they still eat too much beef noodles in the morning. If they can't get up so early, they miss the first pot. Many shops open in the morning and close at two or three in the afternoon.

During my few days in Lanzhou, I ate beef noodles four times, Mazilu, Bai, Jin Qiang and Wu Muller. Generally speaking, I prefer Jin Qiang and Bai, beef and Wu Muller, and there are many other beef noodle shops. I hope I can punch in one by one when I go to Lanzhou next time.

Besides the famous beef noodles, there are many other delicious foods in Lanzhou. As far as snacks and delicious food are concerned, Lanzhou absolutely crushes Yinchuan and Xining, which are both capital cities in the northwest. Potato chips, grey beans, fermented grains, sweet embryo milk tea, stuffing skin, spicy wide noodles, etc. What surprises me most is the potato chips, which are just broken and crisp. A simple potato chip is simply more amazing than beef noodles.

I used to know that Xi was not far from Lanzhou, but I didn't expect it to be so close. The bullet train actually took only three hours, less than 200 yuan. When I left Lanzhou, I went directly to Xi, only to know that the bullet train only took three hours.

I often see the comparison between Lanzhou and Yinchuan, Xining and Xi 'an on the Internet. Who is the topic of the central city in northwest China? Personally, compared with Yinchuan and Xining, Lanzhou is relatively prosperous, but it is still far from Xi 'an. It's not appropriate to put the two cities together, but personally, I am very optimistic about the development potential of Lanzhou and the unique customs brought by the Yellow River passing through the city, which is irreplaceable by anyone.

The above is the 10 impression I left when I first went to Lanzhou. Welcome to talk about Lanzhou in your eyes in the comments section.
