Come to the Northwest to experience the romance here

If you are tired of the stress and troubles of the city, Take a weekend to see the vast Northwest. Walk along the Yellow River, get close to the Lanzhou people who live here, and have a cup of sweet milk tea when you are thirsty, and you will feel satisfied. Depart from Chengdu, sleep on the train for a night after work on Friday, and when you open your eyes in the morning, you will arrive in Lanzhou. [Glister] Must-see attractions Gansu Provincial Museum: Located at No. 3 Xijin West Road, Qilihe District, it is a national first-class museum. The museum houses numerous cultural relics, such as "Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow", "Human Head-Shaped Painted Pottery Bottle", "Postman" mural bricks, etc., which allow you to gain an in-depth understanding of Gansu's history and culture from ancient times to modern times. Lanzhou Yellow River Iron Bridge (Zhongshan Bridge): Zhongshan Bridge on Beibinhe Middle Road in Chengguan District is the first real bridge on the Yellow River and is known as "the No. 1 Bridge on the Yellow River in the World". Walking on the bridge, you can feel the majestic momentum of the Yellow River. When the lights are on at night, the scenery is even more charming. Baitashan Park: The park is located at No. 1 Baitashan, Chengguan District, and is named after the Baita Temple on the top of the mountain. The White Pagoda was first built in the Yuan Dynasty. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Lanzhou city. The mountain buildings are simple and unsophisticated, and there are many trees, which makes people feel relaxed. Yellow River Mother Sculpture: Located on Binhe Road on the south bank of the Yellow River, it is a stone sculpture created by the famous Gansu sculptor He E. The work consists of "Mother" and "Baby Boy", symbolizing the Yellow River Mother and the Chinese descendants, implying the long history of the Chinese nation. Waterwheel Expo Park: Located in the western section of Binhe Road in Chengguan District, it is a good place to learn about Lanzhou’s waterwheel culture. There are ancient water wheels here, as well as related introductions and displays, which will allow you to feel the diligence and wisdom of the Lanzhou people. Lanzhou Ink Danxia Tourist Scenic Area: Located in Xinghua Village, Shuping Town, Yongdeng County, it covers an area of ​​600 square kilometers and is known as the largest landform landscape in my country. The hills here are brightly colored, and the isolated peaks, secluded valleys, and Danxia cliffs fully display the beauty of nature, just like an ink painting. Zhengning Road Night Market: One of the most lively night markets in Lanzhou, it gathers a variety of special snacks, such as milk and egg fermented glutinous rice, stuffed skin, grilled lamb skewers, etc. You can taste the food while feeling the atmosphere of Lanzhou's fireworks. [MealCover] Lanzhou people start their morning with a bowl of beef noodles (note: it is "beef noodles", not "ramen"). Order a meat and egg combo (one beef and one egg), and a plate of appetizers. If you can eat spicy food, add two spoons of chili oil, mix it with garlic sprouts and coriander, then eat it with hearty mouthfuls. The local customs and tourist check-in experience is maximized and quite enjoyable. But in the world of Lanzhou's food, there is much more than just a bowl of beef noodles that can satisfy you and win praise. There are also lamb skewers, mutton offal soup, hand-pulled lamb, stuffed skin, sweet mash, gray beans, pulled noodles, rice noodles, potato chips, three gun turkeys, milk and egg fermented glutinous rice... Lanzhou is simply a paradise for food lovers. Once you have been to Lanzhou, you will drool when you hear the word Lanzhou later.
