2025 Lanzhou Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#Dragon Boat Festival good places Lanzhou Yellow River Iron Bridge, also known as Zhongshan Bridge, is located in the middle section of Binhe Road at the foot of Baita Mountain in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. It was built in a collaborative model with a design by an American bridge company, construction by the German firm of Taylor & Co., and construction by Chinese craftsmen. The Lanzhou Yellow River Bridge is 233.5 meters long and 8.36 meters wide. It has four piers and five holes, and the span of each hole is 45.9 meters. The upper structure is a trapezoidal through-type steel truss. Each span is a truss system composed of an over-static structure and is divided into five rectangles by vertical steel frames. The Lanzhou Yellow River Bridge is the first bridge in the entire northwest region of China in modern history that was built with foreign technology. This special construction background and construction period make the Lanzhou Yellow River Bridge the key to studying modern history and it occupies a unique position in China's architectural history. As a transportation structure project, the Lanzhou Yellow River Bridge embodies the style, school and characteristics of the development of architectural art during the Westernization Movement in modern Chinese history. At the same time, the transportation process of materials needed to build the bridge also created a miracle in modern transportation history. 🌹🌹Friends who come to Lanzhou, Gansu during the Dragon Boat Festival, remember to check in.

It's Too Beautiful!!! 5-Day 4-Night High-Value Slow Travel Guide to Gansu - Encounter a Thousand Years of Silk Road Splendor Gansu, a magical land carrying the legacy of Silk Road civilization, boasts both the vast magnificence of desert solitude and the gentle charm of the Yellow River flowing through its cities. Want to deeply experience its allure in 5 days? Save this money-saving and leisurely guide! Day 1: Lanzhou - Life Along the Yellow River Start your journey with an authentic bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles upon arrival. Unlike noodles elsewhere, the noodles here come in over ten thickness varieties, from hair-thin to broad leaf-like. Try them at a time-honored noodle shop near Lanzhou Station, where crisp radish slices and rich beef broth create a soul-satisfying combination! Before lunch, explore the local Longyan flavors around Zhongshan Bridge. Savor the soft and sweet hui dou zi (mung bean jelly), the tangy and chewy niang pi (cold rice noodles), and the fragrant sweet fermented rice wine - each bite authentic Lanzhou flavor. Take an evening stroll across Zhongshan Bridge, a century-old iron bridge spanning the Yellow River. At sunset, it creates picture-perfect scenes with White Pagoda Mountain. For dinner, try hand-pulled lamb with salt and pepper, paired with Three-Gun Tea to cut through the richness, experiencing northwestern hospitality. Day 2: Dunhuang - A Journey Through Time on the Silk Road Dunhuang's main attractions are along the western route. Hiring a car is recommended (400-500 yuan per day) for flexibility and enjoying the Gobi landscape. Western Thousand Buddha Caves: Less crowded than Mogao Caves, with well-preserved vibrant murals offering an intimate look at ancient art. Yangguan Ruins: Though only ruins remain of this "Western pass where old friends part," you can still sense its former glory as a Silk Road hub. The on-site Yangguan Museum is worth visiting to learn about Silk Road history through artifacts and sand tables. Yumen Pass Ruins: Well-preserved Han Great Wall and granary ruins. From the viewing platform, take in panoramic views of the vast Gobi Desert and distant snow-capped mountains. Yadan National Geological Park: Known as the "Devil City," these landforms are nature's masterpiece. Tour by sightseeing bus while guides explain formations like "Standing Peacock" and "Western Sea Fleet." Arrive at the final viewpoint at sunset to see the orange twilight paint the unique Yadan formations - it's more spectacular than you can imagine. Day 3: Dunhuang - Where Desert Meets Art Morning - Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring: Enter before sunrise when there are fewer visitors and cooler sand. Choose between a camel ride (100 yuan per person) with tinkling bells or challenge yourself to hike up for a bird's-eye view of Crescent Spring. The scenic area also offers sand sliding and desert motorcycling. Afternoon - Mogao Caves: Book tickets one month ahead through the official WeChat account (238 yuan per person, includes Digital Exhibition Center and cave visits). Start at the Digital Center watching two themed films about the caves' history and artistic value, then tour 8-10 open caves with a guide. The exquisite murals and painted sculptures spanning millennia tell the story of Buddhism's eastward spread - truly awe-inspiring. Evening - Shazhou Night Market: Recharge here with local specialties like donkey meat yellow noodles, braised lamb flatbread, and apricot drink. Shop for souvenirs like luminous cups and camel wool products. Day 4: Lanzhou - Savoring Yellow River Scenery Sleep in and enjoy a relaxed day in Lanzhou. Choose between riding a traditional sheepskin raft down the Yellow River (80-100 yuan per person) or cycling along the Yellow River Scenic Line, passing the Waterwheel Garden and Yellow River Mother Statue. In the evening, find a teahouse by the Yellow River, order Three-Gun Tea, and watch the sunset reflect on the water, experiencing the city's tranquility and beauty. For dinner, try Lanzhou preserved pork - the perfectly fatty pork belly pairs wonderfully with lotus leaf pancakes. Day 5: Exploring Gansu's History Gansu Museum offers free admission (reservation required) and is perfect for understanding local history and culture. The museum's treasure, the "Flying Horse of Gansu," though small, shows extraordinary artistic merit. The Silk Road exhibition hall vividly recreates Gansu's important role through rich artifacts and scene reconstructions. After your visit, enjoy a bowl of hui dou zi on Zhengning Road Food Street nearby, perfectly concluding your Gansu journey. Practical Tips 1. Transportation: Take overnight train from Lanzhou to Dunhuang (hard sleeper around 200 yuan); in Dunhuang, use ride-hailing apps or shared bikes as taxis are expensive. 2. Accommodation: In Lanzhou, stay near Xiguan Cross for convenience; in Dunhuang, choose guesthouses near Mingsha Mountain for sunrise and sunset views. 3. Sun Protection and Moisturizing: Bring sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses for strong UV rays; pack face masks and lip balm for the dry climate. 4. Food Recommendations: Besides mentioned dishes, try Lanzhou sweet rice wine milk tea, Dunhuang lamb noodle soup, and Zhangye beef rice. Follow this guide, take it slow, and experience both the grandeur and gentleness of Gansu - you'll surely fall in love with this land!

Hey everyone! As a travel enthusiast who considers Lanzhou my "second home" 🚶‍♀️, I've finally cracked the code to this treasure of a city after 5 trips! Today, I'm spilling all my secrets and sharing my ultimate guide with you. Promise me you'll read this before you come! 😘 🚇 Transportation Tips First-time visitors to Lanzhou might be confused by "Lanzhou Station" and "Lanzhou West Station"! Remember— ✓ For high-speed rail, choose Lanzhou West Station. It's closer to the city center with convenient transportation. A taxi from the station to downtown is only around 💰20. ✓ Don't take unlicensed taxis from the airport! The airport bus 🚍 is 30 yuan and goes directly to Lanzhou University Station. Alternatively, take the intercity railway 🚄, which reaches Lanzhou West Station in 40 minutes—it's both affordable and reliable! ✓ Getting around the city is easy by bus or taxi. You can scan QR codes for bus fares. But avoid taxis during rush hour 🚖; the traffic jams are legendary (don't ask me how I know 😭). 🍜 Local Food Guide Lanzhou is more than just beef noodles! These restaurants are foolproof 👇 ✨ Beef Noodles: Skip the touristy spots! Find a small eatery in a residential area, ideally right when they open around 6 am. The broth is clear, the chili oil is fragrant but not overly spicy, and adding a marinated egg and beef is divine! 🍜 ✨ Tianpeizi: A summer must-have! This sweet drink made from fermented highland barley is icy cold with a hint of alcohol. Grab one on the street for a refreshing boost. 🧋 ✨ Niangpi: Different from regular cold noodles! It has a chewier texture, and the sesame paste and chili oil are essential. Pair it with a bottle of Yellow River beer (but not for minors!) for a truly satisfying experience. 🥢 ✨ Huidouzi: A soft, glutinous sweet treat with a rich red date flavor. Perfect for warming up in winter. 💖 ⚠️Important note: Be selective at night markets! Zhengning Road Snack Street is great for photos, but locals prefer Muta Alley and Dazhong Alley for better value. 🏯 Must-See Attractions Lanzhou's attractions are centrally located, making it easy to see them all in a day. 🌉 Zhongshan Bridge: This century-old iron bridge over the Yellow River is perfect for retro-style photos during the day and transforms into a fairy tale world at night. Don't miss the sunset 🌇 and the stunning view of the evening glow over the Yellow River. 🗿 Mother Yellow River Sculpture: A must-see landmark in Lanzhou! The sculpture is incredibly artistic, and the Yellow River boardwalk is right next to it. Rent a sheepskin raft for a "floating on water" experience (or a speedboat 🚤 if you're not a fan of water). 🌲 White Pagoda Mountain Park: Free! Climb to the top for a panoramic view of Lanzhou and the Yellow River. Take the wooden boardwalk on your way down for scenic views. 📚 Gansu Provincial Museum: Highly recommended! The Silk Road relics are awe-inspiring, and the original "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow" is housed here. Book in advance and note that it's closed on Mondays! 🏨 Accommodation Tips I made the mistake of staying in the wrong places my first two trips! Here's what I learned: ✅ Choose Xiguan Cross or Zhangye Road: Direct subway and bus access to attractions, with food streets downstairs and easy access to night markets. ✅ If budget allows, choose a hotel by the Yellow River: Wake up to river views and enjoy morning strolls along the riverbank. 🌅 ✅ Students/budget travelers should consider hostels: Lanzhou's hostels have a great atmosphere, and many organize carpools to nearby destinations. 📌 Practical Tips (Important!) 1. Sun protection! Lanzhou's UV rays are strong, so sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen are essential. 🌞 2. Drink plenty of water: The northwest climate is dry, so drink at least 2L of water daily to avoid chapped lips. 😣 3. Respect local customs: Lanzhou has a diverse population, including many ethnic minorities. Avoid bringing pork products into or near halal restaurants. 4. Recommended side trips: If you have time, visit Zhangye Danxia (stunning colorful landforms) and Jiayuguan (the starting point of the Great Wall). High-speed rail makes it easy. Lanzhou is a city that gets better with every visit! I discover something new each time.

Lanzhou Old Street is one of the major projects to build the urban cultural brand of Gansu Province. The project is built to the standards of a national 5A-level tourist cultural scenic spot. It is located in the Ma Tan area of Qilihe, the new urban center and financial trade center of Lanzhou city, south of the city's central avenue Xijin West Road, and near Ma Tan Station of Metro Line 1. 🚗 The Lanzhou Old Street ALL PARK project is 800 meters long, featuring exquisite low-density ancient-style buildings. The crisscrossing plaza spaces present different urban rhythms, introducing trendy business combinations, the leisure taste of international metropolises, cross-border national trend brands, exquisite restaurants, and a unique atmosphere where fashion, art, and commerce blend, enjoying the street block in the urban center. Lanzhou Old Street ALL PARK supports intangible cultural heritage, collaborating with 544 intangible cultural heritage resources of Gansu Province, selecting Gansu's characteristic craft masterpieces, local delicacies, and ingenious products, providing the core stage for showcasing the wisdom of the people of Gansu, and boosting cultural confidence. 🚗 Personally, I feel it's quite average. It seems that there are such ancient-style commercial streets all over the country now. If you have nothing to do at night, you can go for a stroll. There are night markets around, but don't have too high expectations. It's a bit far from the old city, but the transportation is relatively convenient. You can take Metro Line 1 to Ma Tan Station directly, and there are also multiple bus routes passing by.

Lanzhou Hotel, the top 1 five-star hotel standing on the banks of the Yellow River. Foreword This is currently the best international five-star hotel in Lanzhou, located on the banks of the Yellow River. From the hotel room, you can directly see the Yellow River, and I was really shocked by the Yellow River as soon as I entered the room. Entering the hotel lobby, you can see the flexible screen tree unique to Lanzhou Hyatt. It is the hotel's gate, I really like Hyatt's textured decoration, and each floor has unique artworks. The room was arranged in advance for the anniversary, and the room was stupidly decorated haha. The panorama of the room, the bathroom part, his bath and shower are not on the same side, they are on both sides of the corridor. The bathroom brand is Hansgrohe and Duravit. It is the Yellow River and the night view of the Yellow River seen from the room. This is the reason why Hyatt is worth staying in. The mother river is surging beside us. The three meals are Jiaxuan dinner, compared to Marriott, this is too sincere. The small cake is the afternoon tea cake that needs to be paid for, except for the chocolate, they are all delicious. Their Paris water is directly in the refrigerator and can be drunk directly. It's breakfast, they have freshly made beef noodles, which taste good.

Very delicious, you can ask him for more beef granules! There are also waffles, zongzi, egg tarts and so on. 4 Summary The experience at Lanzhou Hyatt is quite good, and the style of the hotel is also very attractive. If you can only stay in one hotel in Lanzhou, it must be Hyatt!

Atour style is simple and fashionable, technologically luxurious, and modern urban, The matching room supplies are also extremely comfortable. Most of Atour's room types belong to the square type, Basically the same all over the country, The area and view of the room in Lanzhou are great. The 44th floor is the front desk, guest rooms and restaurant, but the restaurant only serves breakfast, Until about eleven o'clock, you can sit down and rest normally, Free mineral water is provided. The view of the guest rooms is very good, all with floor-to-ceiling windows, suitable for family travel and couple dates. This is really an ideal place for afternoon tea! Very high... in the executive lounge on the 44th floor of Atour, The large floor-to-ceiling windows can overlook the entire Yellow River scenery line... The view is very wide and the mood becomes particularly open.. The afternoon sun is just right, bright and gentle, Any bad mood will disappear. In addition to the good view... the environment is also very good, Filled with a sense of high-level and space design A whole wall of good books... it's just like a book cafe... Quiet... spacious... a person orders a cup of coffee and reads a book in the afternoon... It's also very enjoyable.. If there is enough time, You can stay until the evening to see the night view is really beautiful... The price is not in line with the people-friendly... Dating, daze, afternoon tea, travel, reading, enjoying the scenery.….

#timetotravel The White Pagoda Mountain was one of our stops when we traveled around Gansu Province. To our surprise this Pagoda Mountains serves a great overlooking view of the Yellow River and the city of Lanzhou. You can go up by cable car or just walk. We opted to walk, it was tiring, yes, but there is beauty in climbing up. You will see the city slowly as you go higher up the mountain. When you reach the top, this is where you will see the White Pagoda in which the mountain was named after. We stayed there for half an hour, took some photos and just enjoy the sight of the yellow river and Lanzhou. It is free but you need to pay extra for the cable car. Enjoy the view! Address: North bank of the yellow river, Chengguan District #mytripvlog #tripblazers #mountainview #chinatravel

#timetotravel Xiguan Grand Mosque in lanzhou is a must see as this is one of the oldest and the biggest mosques in Lazhou. It is centrally located so it is easy to go to. The mosques facade and architecture is really attractive especially that isn't really common to see mosques in other provinces. It is a massive mosque that you can freely roam around but be mindful when you get in there because when we were there, it was their prayer time so we had to be really quiet while observing them offer their prayers.It was quite an experience to see this and an eye opening. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #chinatravel #mosque

#timetotravel I heard a lot of people saying that this is just a bridge but upon reading about it while being there I have learned that this was the first bridge in Lanzhou over the yellow and was built by a German construction company with the help of Chinese workers. This is the reason why this has become a tourist spot and probably because of its historical significance. This bridge has become a popular landmark in Lanzhou and in Gansu Province in general. You don't need to spend a lot of time here, take some photos , walk over the bridge. Enjoy your Lanzhou trip! Name: Iron Bridge Address: Binhe Central Road, Qilihe District

Baitashan Park is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Lanzhou. It was developed by the garrison official Liu Yongcheng in the 13th year of the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty (1448). After being managed in the Qing Dynasty, it has grown to its current size. Later, it was rebuilt by Mr. Ren Zhenying in 1958, and the park is now as it is. It is a treasure land for citizens to exercise and relax on a daily basis. Lanzhou Baitashan Park is located in the city center. There are buses going to various places. If you want to visit here, taking the bus is the best way. The altitude of Lanzhou City is between 1500 and 1700 meters, with a drop of 200 meters. The height difference to the top is over 100 meters. Walking among the lush flowers and trees and the greenery, climbing and hiking is also a treasure place for citizens to maintain health and fitness. The key points of the visit are to start from the gate opposite the Zhongshan Bridge on the Yellow River and slowly climb up from the right, pass the Fei Waterfall, and go up along the right path. Along the way, pass the Di Tiantai Archway, go up, pass the Fenglin Xiangniao Archway, Fayu Temple, pass by Zhuchun Pavilion, Peony Pavilion, and go to the highest point, Baita Temple. After a short rest, turn the car direction to cross the Yellow River to visit the Lanzhou Stele Forest Memorial Hall. Go out of the gate and take the path on the right hand side to go down the mountain. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the left side of the road on the park. Cross the road and walk along the bank of the Yellow River to watch the surging river flowing eastward. . Seeing the rapid flow of the river, I realized the profoundness and breadth of Chinese culture. Tips: The visit takes about three hours. When the weather is hot, it is necessary to drink some water. . #travel A must-go in your lifetime

The Nanguan National Flavor Street in Lanzhou has been a commercial market where various ethnic cultures have blended for hundreds of years. It is also a place where all ethnic flavors from the north and south are gathered, except for the halal ones. . Strolling along this pedestrian street that embodies the cultural atmosphere and customs of various ethnic groups in the Northwest, it was worth the trip recommended by a friend. . It is better than Zhengning Road Night Market. Take a leisurely stroll along the short 300-meter pedestrian street. . Slowly savoring the various flavors, two hours is not too much, and it is also a fun slow life with a few friends drinking and chatting, tasting the grilled or fried dishes as you like. . It is also a scene of Lanzhou's nightlife. #gourmet food
