Gansu · Lanzhou City Weekend One-Day Tour | 11.30

📍Symphony Silk Road · Ruyi Lanzhou ✅Highly recommend the 【Dunhuang Art Museum】, which currently offers free guided tours every day at 11:00 AM. The guide is fantastic, and there are not many people. Compared to the crowded Mogao Caves back then, this time it was very comfortable to listen to the stories, and the experience was amazing! Just a bit tiring to stand, so after the tour, I was a little too tired to explore more. Will plan to continue next time in Lanzhou! But after visiting, I want to go to the Mogao Caves again haha (photos 1-5). ✅Regarding checking in at Lanhadun, I previously checked in at Banshan Archway and Ertaige. This time I finally checked in at Santai Pavilion. I chose to take bus 750 up the mountain (get off at Touying Village, fare 5 yuan), then walk one kilometer on flat ground to reach it, no climbing needed hahaha. After taking photos, there is a staircase leading to Ertaige, and on the way, you can take photos of 【Lanzhou Station】 (photo 12), which is very impressive! Going downstairs is actually quite tiring too; it took about 40 minutes of walking and photo-taking to return to Ertaige to wait for the night view. ✅Photo 16 is a comic of the Flying Horse of Gansu, located at 📍Xinshengli Hotel, which is actually not far from the 【750 Andingmen Bus Stop】. You can check in there first before heading up the mountain. ✅Photo 4 was taken on Zhongshan Bridge. Walking along the Yellow River under the sun is really comfortable.
