For those who yearn for the vast Northwest, they usually transfer in Lanzhou. So where can you go for a one-day tour in Lanzhou? Here are some good places to visit in the city, for details please see below.
The most recommended place to visit in Lanzhou is the Gansu Provincial Museum, where you can see the treasure of the museum, the “Flying Swallow” made of jade, and also see the Silk Road Exhibition. Each exhibit has a QR code on the glass case outside, which can be scanned with a mobile phone to view the background information of the collection. Visiting museums is the most effective and accurate way to understand a city’s history, culture and customs. If you want to have a deeper understanding of Lanzhou, you must not miss the Provincial Museum.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00 (stop entry at 16:00)
2、Lanzhou University
Founded in 1909, its predecessor was the Gansu Law and Politics School established during the New Deal period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, marking the beginning of modern higher education in Gansu and opening up the new frontier of higher education in the Northwest. Lanzhou University is divided into two campuses – the Lanzhou campus in the city and the Yuzhong campus, covering a very large area. There are always bright flowers blooming in the campus, which is very beautiful.
Ticket: Free
3、Yellow River Scenic Line
Lanzhou is the only provincial capital city in China that has the Yellow River running through it, so it has taken advantage of its geographical location to develop a 100-kilometer north-south riverfront road, creating a 40-kilometer Yellow River Scenic Line along the banks of the Yellow River, known as “the Bund of Lanzhou”, which is a famous landmark of Lanzhou tourism and a must-see for tourists from other places.
4、Zhongshan Bridge
Zhongshan Bridge, also a must-visit place, has inexplicably become popular on Douyin ~ Many people come here to check in and record Douyin videos. Zhongshan Bridge has become the most important landmark of Lanzhou, connecting the north and south banks of Lanzhou City, with a long history. Most of the people who come to Zhongshan Bridge are tourists from other places. Now motorized vehicles are prohibited from crossing the bridge, so you can leisurely walk from the south bank to the north bank.
5、Yellow River Cableway
The Yellow River Cableway, you can overlook the Yellow River from the sky, with a sense of grandeur, taking in the beauty of the Yellow River. The Yellow River Wharf, a good place to take a boat trip on the Yellow River, jet ski surfing, tasting San Pao Tai, sitting by the Yellow River and drinking beer, are all good choices! I recommend the Yellow River fruit beer, a super delicious drink.
Ticket price: Adult round trip 45 yuan, upward 35 yuan, downward 25 yuan; Children round trip 20 yuan, upward 15 yuan, downward 10 yuan
