Lanzhou

Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu Province and a central city in Western China. The city is also a center for heavy industry and the petrochemical industry, and an important pivot in the Western Long Hai-Lan Xin Economic Zone.

Setting foot in Lanzhou, means that you are now in the broad and desolate Northwest region of China. Be sure to try a bowl of beef noodles, sip on a cup of Eight Treasure Tea and trek on the banks of the Yellow River. The Yellow River traverses Lanzhou, making it the only provincial capital split by China’s mother river. Lanzhou has many scenic spots on offer, primarily in the central urban area and including Watermill Museum Park, Wuquan Mountain Park, Tulugou National Forest Park and Xinglong Mountain.
