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
The regret of the last time finally made up for it. The Gansu Provincial Museum was really shocking. I finally saw the horse stepping on the swallow in the primary school textbook. There are also various dinosaur fossils, which are really huge, and there are various exquisite cultural relics, such as copper cattle, copper camels, Trojan horses, etc., which are very recommended!
The explanation is very good! The child likes it very much! But as far as the museum is concerned, I still prefer the exhibition according to the timeline. This unit narrative feels a bit messy for me. There is too much knowledge to accept and it is not easy to organize.
A very happy visit experience. The first time I made an appointment for the teacher to explain, I met Mr. Wang Qian, a very professional interpreter. He told us the long history behind each collection in the museum with an easy-to-understand description, and also told us some details of the collection. Learning a lot of knowledge, it is worthwhile to travel 👍
I was very lucky to meet Ms. Wang as our commentator. I was impressed by her expertise and the way she explained it. She explained in great detail, not only knows the history and cultural background of each exhibit, but also conveys complex knowledge to us in a simple and understandable way. Her explanations are vivid and interesting, full of enthusiasm, and give us a deeper understanding of the history of Gansu Province. I highly recommend Ms. Wang to other tourists, and hope they enjoy such a wonderful experience as I do.
On the last day of 2023, I punched in the Gansu Provincial Museum. Gansu Province is also a large province with rich history and culture. It is necessary to ask for an in-depth explanation. Teacher Liu Yu is very good, the explanation is very professional, vivid and interesting, and also interacts with us. If you want to know more about Gansu, find Mr. Liu Yu. Absolutely great value experience.
Mr. Yang Tong explained very well, humorous and kind, and rich in expertise. I learned a lot of knowledge, and this museum is really worth it. I didn't understand anything before, I hope I can push some such good interpreters in the future.
Teacher Lu told very detailed, very patient, the children listened very fascinated, the teacher said deeply, very vivid, the voice is also very gentle. I am especially honored to find this teacher. This time there were fewer teachers and took our two families and four people. So happy! Thank you, Mr. Lu
