Don't miss the breathtaking night view of Zhongshan Bridge when you visit Lanzhou.

“You must visit Lanzhou, feel the evening breeze by the Yellow River, and marvel at the night view of Zhongshan Bridge.” Zhongshan Bridge is a landmark of Lanzhou, so the first stop in Lanzhou is to check in at the Zhongshan Bridge🌉 at night❗ At first glance, it's incredibly stunning! Especially with Baitashan Mountain⛰️ in the background. The taxi 🚕 driver said it's Lanzhou's version of Hongyadong, and it really does resemble it! Zhongshan Bridge has a rich history, documented in the Gansu Provincial Museum and the Gansu JianDu Museum! This century-old iron bridge has stood the test of time and remains as sturdy as ever. One end of the bridge connects to the bustling downtown area, while the other end adjoins Baitashan Park, where lush trees add vitality to the ancient iron bridge. You can capture a panoramic view of Zhongshan Bridge🌉 from Baitashan Mountain! 💰Tickets: Free🆓 🕰️Best Viewing Time: ✅Lights turn on around 19:30 - 20:00 (subject to change based on sunset time) and stay on until 23:00. ✅Summer: 18:00 - 21:00 🚗Transportation: ✅Bus: Zhongshan Bridge is located in the city center, making it easily accessible by multiple bus routes.

Luckily, I saw a young lady in Dunhuang Apsaras costumes live streaming at the foot of Baitashan Mountain⛰️. Her graceful posture and flowing ribbons made her look like a flying Apsaras from the Dunhuang murals. 📸Best Photo Spots: ✅Banshanting Pavilion on Baitashan Mountain: Frame the iron bridge, the Yellow River, and the city skyline, using the railings of Banshanting Pavilion as the foreground to add depth to your photos. ✅Riverside Platform under the Bridge: Shoot from a low angle to showcase the grandeur of Zhongshan Bridge from a unique perspective, highlighting the beauty of the steel bridge's lines and creating a visual effect of strength and softness with the Yellow River. ✅Yuantong Bridge: Use a telephoto lens to capture the light trails of traffic on Zhongshan Bridge.
