3、Lanzhou (December 19th to December 20th) December 19th: A、Arrive in Lanzhou city from the airport at noon, check in at the 'Lanzhou Central Yellow River·Yinran Waterfront River View Hotel'. The name is too long, it's hard to remember. The decoration is luxurious and comfortable, but the service, river view, and location are slightly inferior to the Hyatt Hotel, but the current price is higher. B、After settling in at the hotel, it's just lunchtime. Take a taxi to try the 'Chuntai Hand Grab Main Store'. Must order 'Hand Grab Lamb', 'Stir-fried Lily', 'Three Cannon Platform'. It is recommended to try it. The lamb is fresh and tender, and the lily is sweet and refreshing. C、'Dunhuang Art Museum' Those who have visited Mogao Grottoes can see or not see, a relatively small museum, but there is content, I think it's not bad to visit. D、The sun is just right, decided to take a ride on the 'Yellow River Cable Car', but it is under maintenance during the off-season, and the specific operating time will be notified separately. The downside of the off-season is that you can only stroll along the Yellow River, and then decide to go to 'Lanzhou Old Street'. E、'Lanzhou Old Street' ~ 'Yellow River Building', the two attractions are together, about 800 meters apart. Buy a cup of 'Old Horse Milk Rice Wine Egg' and it's warm to walk and play, and it's not cold. Both attractions are artificially built later, suitable for taking pictures and shopping. 'Yellow River Building' is particularly suitable for travel photography, a bit tempted, but unfortunately there is no time and no appointment. I didn't buy a ticket to go to the top of the building to enjoy the beauty of the Yellow River, because the river view is really not good in the off-season, everyone chooses it! F、Dinner 'Lanzhou Old Street ~ Ga Ma Zi Roasted Lamb', recommend 'Lamb Kebab', 'Lamb Tendon', 'Chili Sandwiched Cake' ~ I really like the chili in the northwest. 'Ma San Yang Potato Chips' I tried it, I think it's average. G、After dinner, I felt it was still early, so I decided to go to 'Yellow River Iron Bridge' to enjoy the popular night view. It's really great! By the way, try the popular 'Sweet Embryo Milk Tea', I really like it, the sweet embryo is chewy, and the sweet taste of milk tea is quite good. (Except for one point, it can only be a cold drink, it can't be a hot drink, it's quite sour to drink at -10 degrees) H、Buy a cup of local red wine at night, paired with local wine, directly enjoy the view in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, highly recommend Amway Ha ~ beautiful! December 20th: A、Sleep in, take a taxi for breakfast, and try 'Hu Family Buns'. 'Carrot Beef Bun' (half a cage for buns) and 'Beef Soup Noodles' are recommended. B、'Lanzhou City Museum', I heard that it was renovated on the original site of the ancient temple, I had high expectations, but I was very disappointed when I went there, there was no substantial content. C、'Wild Valley Art Rhyme', a tea house by the Yellow River, the environment is good, sunbathing, enjoying the river view, tasting good tea, and eating delicious food. Because of the late flight, I don't want to wander around, but this nest for an afternoon is really good, especially recommend 'Jar Tea', 'Coarse Grain Cake', 'Sazi Roll Cake', 'Cheese Sweet Embryo', 'Tianzi Lily'... Return in the evening to end the trip🔚 I wanted to post more photos for everyone to refer to, but unfortunately I can only post 20, so everyone can imagine without photos
