Lanzhou is located in the hinterland, with obvious monsoon climate, with an average annual temperature of about 9℃, dry climate, large temperature difference between day and night, short spring and summer and long autumn and winter. When traveling in Lanzhou, it is best to switch between spring and summer. However, if you want to participate in the annual "Lanzhou China Silk Road Festival", you must go in September, when many tourists will gather in Lanzhou, which will be very lively.
recommended tourist attractions
Yellow River amorous feelings line
Lanzhou is a long and narrow city extending from east to west, sandwiched between the north and south mountains, and the Yellow River passes through the city at the foot of Kyushu Mountain in the north of the city. After the planning and construction of the urban construction department, a riverside road with tens of kilometers from east to west has been opened along the south bank of the Yellow River. Because the road is wide and straight, with flower beds and nurseries on both sides, it is known as the green corridor and has become the longest riverside road in the country. Visitors can enjoy the amorous feelings of the Yellow River by visiting Binhe Road, and visit many exquisite sculptures such as Pingsha Wild Goose, Bolang, Silk Road, Mother of the Yellow River, Journey to the West and so on. And visit Zhongshan Railway Bridge, Baitashan Park, Water Car Park and other scenic spots. In the tourist season, you can see the ancient raft ferry and experience the ancient rhyme of "boasting and crossing the Yellow River"; You can also take a rubber boat to drift on the Yellow River. Binhe Road, known as the "Bund" in Lanzhou, has become a place for the elderly to do morning exercises and young people to be romantic. When foreign tourists come to Lanzhou to travel, they must first go to Binhe Road and visit from east to west.
Baita Mountain
Located on Baita Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River in Lanzhou City, it was named after the White Pagoda in the Yuan Dynasty on the hill. It is divided into three buildings, which are built on the mountain, with red cornices and staggered columns. The buildings are connected by pavilions and corridors, extending in all directions. The original elephant drum, bronze bell and bauhinia tree on the mountain were called "three treasures of Zhenshan" in ancient times, but now the bauhinia tree has died. After years of greening, Baita Mountain has high trees and dense forests, and its winding paths lead to secluded places.
Zhongshan Bridge
Lanzhou Zhongshan Bridge, commonly known as "Zhongshan Railway Bridge" and "Yellow River Railway Bridge", is located on the north side of the middle section of Binhe Road, at the foot of Baita Mountain and in front of Jinguan Town. It was built in 197 (thirty-three years of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty), and it is the oldest ancient bridge in Lanzhou and the first bridge in the true sense on the 5,464-kilometer Yellow River, so it has the "First Yellow River Bridge in the World".
Xinglong Mountain
is located five kilometers southwest of Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City and 6 kilometers away from Lanzhou City. Guin is named "Qiyun Mountain" because "there are always boundless white clouds". As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, it had become a place for Taoist practitioners to dig holes and practice. In the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "Xinglong Mountain".
Eat a bowl of authentic beef noodles
Even people who have never been to Lanzhou are very familiar with Lanzhou Lamian Noodles. Only when I went to Lanzhou did I know that Lanzhou Lamian Noodles sold in other places was a fake version.
Take a sheepskin raft to float the Yellow River
Sitting on the raft, you can see the Yellow River water flowing leisurely through the empty space of sheepskin tires. What's even more amazing is that the raft is swaying with the water waves, but the passengers will not get wet by the water, which is a bit like "I sit on my own and let him wind and waves".
Have a drink in the "mass grave"
Lanzhou people like to drink local Yellow River beer, and the famous Yellow River Beer Plaza in Nanguan has taken over Lanzhou City, which has always been famous for traffic jams, and turned into the most congested corner of the city on time. There is also a shocking name in the Yellow River Beer Square-the Mass Pit. It is said that if you want to find a friend who hasn't seen you for ten years, you can find it by walking around the Mass Pit. The sound of clinking glasses and punching fists like thunder finally makes people feel a sense of being in Lanzhou. In addition, there are 8, pits and 5, pits in Lanzhou, and even the smallest beer square can hold the next company.

People who have been there say so
* If I don't come to Lanzhou, I don't think I will know what the real Lamian Noodles tastes like in my life-because in Shanghai, Lanzhou Lamian Noodles has been completely unrecognizable, and it is estimated that many people have been fooled like me.
* Lanzhou is a city that won't let you go once you go. This sentence is not about the hegemony of Lanzhou; On the contrary, cities that are as brave as Lanzhou are rare in China. The battle righteousness of Lanzhou comes from the northwest wind, and the sharp northwest wind blows out the dry and transparent temperament of Lanzhou people, but Lanzhou people also tell you that there is dust in spring here, but it will never be full of yellow sand all year round. The loyalty of Lanzhou also comes from the "soup and water" that Lanzhou people are good at. It is not the beef noodles we are familiar with, but the heroic wine culture.
Gourmet
In addition to the well-known beef noodles, Lanzhou's grey beans, candied fruits, stuffed skins, hot winter fruits, sheep's heads, noodles with minced meat, noodles with paste, fried noodles with oil, layered beef patties, fried cakes, fermented eggs and pig's dirty noodles all have their own characteristics. Farmer Lane and Dazhong Lane are the places where Lanzhou snacks are most concentrated.

Lanzhou Beef Noodle Recommendation:
Wumule Penghui Beef Noodle: Dozens or even hundreds of cars are often crowded in front of the store. Don't think that there is a car accident or traffic control. The owners are all coming for my Muller's beef noodles. Not only that, the plastic benches outside the store are also full of diners holding big bowls of soup. The beef is light in color, but it is full of flavor when it is put into the soup. People with a good appetite will want to pile a catty of beef on the surface and pile it into a hill. Beef can be vacuum packed and taken away. Address: No.2168, North Binhe West Road, Qilihe District (near Huanghe Building, Yiyuan Garden on the Yellow River)
Bailaoqi Penghui Beef Noodles: a low-key restaurant recommended only by authentic old Lanzhou. Half of the diners came here with their own enamel pots, and they already regarded it as their own kitchen. Address: diagonally opposite Yiwu Shopping Mall, Qilihe District
Ma Youbu Beef Noodles: People in Lanzhou often say that the surname of beef noodles in Lanzhou is "Ma", not "Niu". Ten bosses who open beef noodle restaurants have nine surnames of Ma. Ma Youbu is an old-fashioned storefront, which is characterized by chili pepper's foot and thick soup, and it is still full of incense when going out for two miles. If you order noodles, there are only a few diced meat in it. It is best to order beef and eggs. Address: Yongchang Road near Gannan Road
Mazilu Beef Noodle: Mazilu, the most famous beef noodle restaurant in Lanzhou, has driven the whole public alley after its business success, making the previously unknown alley really a famous public food street in Lanzhou. Ma Zilu was the only one who didn't have a semicolon. As soon as 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he began to urge the order. The reason was that he had to close the door at 2 o'clock and would never delay. The service attitude and reputation seemed to be somewhat different. Locals eat on the first floor (5 yuan/Bowl), and the set meal on the second floor serves foreigners (15 ~ 25 yuan/person). Address:
guobao beef noodles in Dazhong lane: the place is hard to find, and the business is excellent. The soup is made from bovine bone marrow, and there is a thin layer of oil floating on the noodle soup, which is characterized by a huge amount of chili pepper. If you can't eat spicy food, you must be told to put less. Because of the tunnel, Lanzhou people used the homonym, "national treasure, national treasure, we must eat national treasure Lamian Noodles!"
