Lanzhou Travel Guide

Impressions of Lanzhou 1. Lanzhou doesn't have ramen, only beef noodles. The beef noodles have small pieces of beef and radish, and you can add beef slices. The radish in the northwest is amazing, it doesn't taste like radish at all. 2. There is no subway from Lanzhou Airport to the city, but there is a high-speed train from the airport to Lanzhou West Railway Station. It takes only 5 minutes to walk from Zhongchuan Airport to the intercity high-speed train ticket gate, so you don't need to rush. "Afghanistan by day, Manhattan by night" I heard that Lanzhou's night view is beautiful, so you must go to Lanshan Park to see it. Guide You can take the subway, bus, or public electric bike to the carpool point at Andingmen. The specific location is to walk from Andingmen Bus Station to Baiyin Road. After passing the overpass, there is a carpool to Lanshan Park in the northwest corner. The fare to Ertaige and Santaige is CNY 10 per person. Recently, the sunset in Lanzhou is around 8:30 pm, so you can go up the mountain at 7 or 8 pm. There are many carpools going down the mountain at night, and there are even cars in the middle of the night. Tips 1. If you want to take photos, I recommend Ertaige, which is at an intersection. Santaige requires a telephoto lens of more than 200 mm, and I heard that there are two big lights that interfere with the shooting effect. Ertaige requires a fill light for portraits. 2. The photos were taken at Ertaige with a 70-200 mm lens. There are two viewing platforms by the roadside, and there are snacks sold in the middle of the viewing platforms. There is a staircase in the middle that you can go down. The stairs lead to the downhill route. You can take photos on the downhill road or on the viewing platform, and both have good effects. 3. Try flying a drone on the downhill route of Ertaige. You have to pull it to a distance of 3,000 meters to the city, and it is easy to lose signal, so you need to drive carefully. The downhill road is also very narrow, so you need to be careful when taking off and landing. 4. I heard that there are two other good places to take photos below Ertaige, the Lanshan Park Archway and the Glass Plank Road. These two places are a little far from Ertaige. If you have enough time and want to climb the mountain slowly, you can explore them. 5. Ertaige and Santaige are far apart, and there are carpools going up from Ertaige. I didn't go up. Bring mosquito repellent, there are many mosquitoes.
