What interesting Lanzhou attractions are recommended in Lanzhou?

Speaking of Lanzhou, many friends may not know what scenic spots in Lanzhou are worth visiting, so this small series will tell you what interesting scenic spots there are in Lanzhou. Come and have a look.

What's interesting in Lanzhou? The end of August is my family trip every year.

Due to the damage of Jiuzhaigou earthquake last year, the original trip to Sichuan has been put on hold. I thought of going to Sichuan this time, but I didn't expect to change it to the northwest. For people living in Guangdong, the northwest gives us the feeling that it is "so far away"!

Before writing the impression of Lanzhou, send some thoughts first, which are all dry goods and can be used for reference.

In recent summer, it is a good choice for people who have been covered and roasted by 38 degrees for a long time to choose a trip to the northwest and feel the coolness there. Because of the large temperature difference between day and night in the northwest climate, it sometimes rains. The tour guide said that the weather forecast is inaccurate and basically depends on calculation, so the luggage before departure needs to be fully prepared, and as much as possible, not too little! My family started with a big suitcase full of cars.

Clothing: small pieces, hats, scarves, shawls, etc. which are mainly summer clothes and are brightly colored or simply worn. To improve the overall color matching.

Mask mug: Be sure to bring someone who loves beauty! Although the climate here is cool, it is very dry. From the lips and nose to the skin, there is always a feeling of missing. Hydrate regularly along the way and apply a mask before going to bed.

Others: sunscreen, sunglasses, rain gear, slippers, toiletries, etc.

On August 25th, we set off on time as planned. The flight from Ningbo to Lanzhou is at 8 o'clock in the morning. After checking into the hotel, we just have half a day to stay in Lanzhou.

This northwest plan is not free, and the whole tour is reported. All trips, hotels and rides are arranged by travel agencies, which saves a lot of worry. It is also a boutique group of a family of four (1 1 person, 7 big and 4 small), and there is no shopping in the whole process.

The hotel arranged by Lanzhou is not bad, about 500 per night. The surrounding area is prosperous and well-equipped. Wanda is nearby, and the postgraduate and doctoral branches of Lanzhou University are just across the road. It takes about 10 minutes to take a taxi from Zhongshan Bridge, Yellow River Mother, Zhangye Road and Zhengning Snack Street. There are several other hotels nearby to choose from. You can compare them before booking hotels.

Remarks: Compared with the cities I have been to, there are many taxis in Lanzhou. Don't wait long, there are basically roadside waves)

Back to the topic, now it's time to talk about Lanzhou impression.

When the plane landed, the biggest difference from the sky was the "mountain". The mountains here are not lofty and lush, but low, one after another, layered and bare, with a visual shock that words can't express.

Before the "master" picked us up from Lanzhou airport to the expressway, we took the fast track. The tour guide said: the drivers of tourist buses in the northwest can't be called "drivers", and drivers all pull trucks; You can also see many buildings and temples along the expressway, which are colorful.

If you have to define your impression of Lanzhou, use "cultural background" and "buzz".

This city feels not much different from other cities we have been to. The hotel gave us "Talking about Lanzhou" and flipped through the history of the city in the middle of the night before we knew the overall cultural background here. As early as 5,000 years ago, people have already thrived here, and it is an important town of the ancient Silk Road. This is where the Yellow River, the "mother river" of Chinese civilization flows. This is one of the 36 counties where Qin Shihuang unified the six countries; The first national new district approved by the State Council in northwest China; As such a key city with profound cultural background, the capital of Gansu is slightly depressed compared with Shanghai and Hangzhou.

Because it only takes half a day, you can only choose the most worthwhile attractions, such as Yellow River Railway Bridge, Yellow River Mother and Zhengning Night Market. The only feeling is that there are many people, especially when you walk into Zhengning Street, you can be overwhelmed by people and food.

The Yellow River Railway Bridge was renamed "Zhongshan Bridge" on 1942 to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Overlooking the Yellow River on the bridge for the first time, Huang Cancan is thick and bottomless; Because the Yellow River contains too much sediment, my first reaction turned out to be deeply worried about the drinking water problem of Lanzhou people (haha, worried).

There are big boats and bamboo rafts floating on the Yellow River from time to time. When we first saw the sheepskin raft, we didn't know it was a "raft" floating in the river. Q always points to the "pig" that let us see! Instantly attracted the accusation of the old man who served next to him. In a place like the northwest, because of religion, habits, beliefs and taboos, you always have to be careful when you speak, for fear of offending people.

From Zhongshan Bridge to the Yellow River Mother, there is a small sculpture hall with several huge waterwheels. "Talking about Lanzhou" mentioned that Lanzhou is known as "the capital of waterwheels". In order to reproduce the scene of waterwheels along the Yellow River more than 50 years ago, the Lanzhou government specially established the Waterwheel Museum. There is a small canal called "Qushui Liu Hu" in the Waterwheel Museum, and a particularly interesting celebration is held every March. This time is not enough, so it is enough for you. You can have a special look when you have time.

It's only an hour's journey from Zhongshan Bridge to the Yellow River Mother. Some craftsmen set up stalls along the road. If you are careful, you can find some very beautiful handmade works and two souvenirs.

The nightlife in Lanzhou is still very lively. Walking into Zhengning snack street, I don't know what kind of snacks to start with, skin and bones, mutton skewers, fruit tea, ice cream, and all kinds of fruits. I feel full when I walk through the crowded crowd.

If you eat, it is recommended to eat near the hotel. The price of snack street feels cheaper, so you can go shopping if you are interested.

After visiting the key scenic spots, I washed away the fatigue of the day and waited for getting up at 6:30 the next day to catch the bus. The trip in Lanzhou was over.
