Must-see attractions for tourism recommendation
Yellow river style tourist line
Lanzhou is a long and narrow city extending from east to west, sandwiched between two 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 a length of 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 China. Visitors can enjoy the customs of the Yellow River by visiting Binhe Road, and visit many exquisite sculptures such as Pingsha Wild Goose, Bolang, Silk Road, Yellow River Mother and Journey to the West. And visit Zhongshan Railway Bridge, Baitashan Park, water parking lot and other attractions. In the tourist season, you can see the ancient wooden rafts and experience the ancient rhyme of "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
Located on the Baita Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River in Lanzhou City, it was named after the White Pagoda of the Yuan Dynasty at the top of the mountain. It is divided into three buildings, built on the mountain, with red eaves and scattered tiles. These 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 "the 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, with winding paths leading 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 Jincheng City. It was built in 1907 (thirty-three years of Guangxu reign). It is the oldest ancient bridge in Lanzhou and the first real bridge on the Yellow River with a total length of 5,464 kilometers, so it is called "the first bridge on the Yellow River in the world".
Xinglong mountain
Located five kilometers southwest of Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City, 60 kilometers away from Lanzhou City. Quinn was named "Yun Qi Mountain" because "there are always endless white clouds". As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, it has become a place for Taoist practitioners to dig holes and practice. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "Xinglong Mountain".
Chiyiwan authentic beef noodles
Even people who have never been to Lanzhou are familiar with Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, which is all over the street. I didn't know until I went to Lanzhou that Lanzhou Lamian Noodles sold in other places was a fake version.
Float on the Yellow River with a sheepskin raft.
Sitting on the raft and looking down, you can see the Yellow River water flowing through the empty sheepskin tires. What's even more amazing is that the raft swings with the water waves, but the passengers won't get wet, which is a bit like "I'll sit by myself and let him ride the wind and waves".
Have a drink in a mass grave.
People in Lanzhou love to drink local Yellow River beer. The famous Yellow River Beer Plaza in Nanguan took over Lanzhou, which has always been famous for traffic jams, and became the most congested corner of the city on time. The Yellow River Beer Plaza also has a shocking name-Dazhong Pit. It is said that if you want to find a friend you haven't seen for ten years, you can find it by walking around the public pit. The sound of clinking glasses and thundering fists finally gave people a feeling of being in Lanzhou. In addition, there are 8,000 pits and 5,000 pits in Lanzhou, and even the smallest beer plaza can hold a company.

* If I don't come to Lanzhou, I guess I'll never know what the real Lamian Noodles tastes like-because in Shanghai, Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou has changed beyond recognition, and it is estimated that many people have been fooled like me.
Lanzhou is a city that won't let you go if you go. This sentence does not mean Lanzhou hegemony; On the contrary, a courageous city like Lanzhou is rare in China. The battle righteousness of Lanzhou comes from the northwest wind, and the fierce northwest wind blows out the dry and transparent temperament of Lanzhou people, but Lanzhou people also tell you that there is dust here in spring, but it will never be yellow sand all year round. Loyalty to Lanzhou also comes from the "soup and water" that Lanzhou people are good at. It is not the familiar beef noodles, but the heroic wine culture.

Lanzhou beef noodles recommended:
Wumule Peng Hui Beef Noodles: Dozens or even hundreds of cars are often crowded in front of the store. Don't think there is a car accident or traffic control. The hosts are all here for my Mueller beef noodles. Not only that, the plastic benches outside the store are also full of diners with big bowls of soup. Beef is light in color, but it is full of flavor in soup. People with a good appetite will want to pile a catty of beef on the surface and make a hill. Beef can be packed in vacuum to take away. Address: No.2168, Beibinhe West Road, Qilihe District (near Huanghe Building, Yiyuan Garden on the Yellow River)
Bailaoqi Penghui Beef Noodles: a low-key restaurant recommended by authentic old Lanzhou. Half of the diners come here with their own enamel pots, and they already regard 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" rather than "Niu". Of the ten bosses who open beef noodle restaurants, nine are surnamed Ma. Ma Youbu is an old shop, which is characterized by Chili feet, thick soup and full of fragrance when going out for two miles. If you order noodles, there are only a few diced meat in it. Better order beef and eggs. Address: Yongchang Road near Gannan Road
Mazilu Beef Noodles: Mazilu, the most famous beef noodle restaurant in Lanzhou, has driven the whole public alley after the business boom, making the previously unknown alley really become a famous street of public food in Lanzhou. Ma is the only one who doesn't have a semicolon. As soon as 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he began to urge the bill. The reason is that he will close at 2 o'clock, and there will be no delay. Service attitude and reputation seem to be somewhat different. Locals eat in 1 building (5 yuan/Bowl), and the second floor set meal serves foreigners (15 ~ 25 yuan/person). Address: Inside Dazhong Lane
Bao Guo Beef Noodles: The place is hard to find, and the business is super good. The soup is made of bovine bone marrow, and there is a thin layer of oil floating on the noodle soup, which is characterized by a huge amount of peppers.
