Gansu, there's more than just spicy hot pot!

Today, I've organized a travel journal for the babies heading to the golden city of Lanzhou. Departing from Xi'an by high-speed train🚅, it takes just 2.5 hours to reach Lanzhou West Station~ Gansu is so hot🔥 right now, interested babies should take advantage of the weekend and set off. You can spend one day as a special forces soldier, or take two days to leisurely stroll around (the temperature difference between day and night is significant, remember to bring a coat). Accommodation: I recommend staying near Xiguan, close to Zhongshan Bridge, the snack street, the museum, and various attractions! City transportation🚗: Buses and taxis are very convenient, and by the way, Lanzhou's taxis are colorful. Must-visit attractions📸: ✅Gansu Museum: Treasures of the Silk Road await your discovery, a cultural feast not to be missed, and there are various funny cultural and creative dolls like 'Horse Stepping on a Flying Swallow' worth seeing. (Book in advance, no admission fee, enter with your ID card, closed on Mondays!) ✅Dunhuang Art Gallery: A one-to-one replica of the Mogao Caves, free of charge, interested babies can go take a look, and it's also great for taking photos. ✅Zhongshan Bridge: The breeze of history caresses your cheeks, stepping from the past into the present. The neon lights of the iron bridge make the night view even more enticing. ✅Baita Mountain Park: Climb high for a distant view, the sharp spire of the white pagoda is like a brushstroke, depicting the tranquil and bustling intertwined scene of Lanzhou. Overlooking the whole city, Lanzhou's night view is like Manhattan at night🌃. ✅Waterwheel Expo Park: The large waterwheel🌊, the rotating years, ancient irrigation methods, experience the diligence and wisdom of the people by the Yellow River. ✅Stroll by the Yellow River: Sit by the Yellow River and have a cup of Sanpaotai, listen to the waves, watch the sunset sprinkle golden light across the river, and enjoy a romantic moment. The brave babies can also try the sheepskin raft, I took a speedboat ride, and the river breeze was also beautiful. ✅Mother of the Yellow River Statue: The spiritual symbol of Lanzhou, a must-visit when in Lanzhou. Food recommendations🍜: 🉑Fang Ha: Lanzhou's specialty chain milk tea shop, sweet embryo milk tea, sweet embryo has the feel of fermented glutinous rice but the texture is like pearls, chewy and surprisingly suitable with milk tea. 🉑Haijia Chuan Chuan Spicy Hot Pot: The popular Gansu spicy hot pot, red oil chili, although it looks spicy, it's actually fragrant, especially fragrant when wrapped around various vegetables, and with a serving of hand-pulled noodles, it's incredibly delicious. 🉑Beef Noodles: Really, any place is delicious, I like to eat thin noodles, served with hot soup, tea eggs, and large slices of beef, so fragrant. 🉑Zai Hui Shou: A collection of local snacks, spicy tripe mix, grey beans, potato cakes, just follow the bestsellers, you can't go wrong. There's also Lanzhou barbecue, yogurt, all kinds of lamb. Zhengning Road night market, Nanguan night market, just wander and eat, in short, there are too many delicious things in Lanzhou, this foodie is fully satisfied. Lanzhou's attractions are quite concentrated and mostly free of charge, and there's a lot of special food, it's really suitable for workers to relax on the weekend, rush
