Polluted yet beautiful

Favorite thing: Air pollution level is high so if you are suffering from breathing trouble, take utmost care. Though the city is like any other big city, beautiful, good transportation, supermarkets and of course road side noodles. Must taste?

Fondest memory: Flowers in Lanzhou University.
Five spring.
Of course Lanzhou people..

Favorite thing: Its location. Lanzhou is okay but its good point is its surroundings. Hours away, are Buddhist caves, gorgeous natural scenery, Tibetans, and even the desert.

Favorite thing: Being the Capital of the Ganzu Province, it lies on the mother river of the nation, the Yellow River. It is really an old city aged over one thousand years.

Fondest memory: An archaeological site locates at about 50km from the city centre is a must see site where you can find some of the largest statues of Buddha in China.

l_joo 2855 reviews

Favorite thing: A local Muslim store selling ermm...I don't know, anyway it attracts me. There are about 5 to 10 % of Muslims stores and restaurants in Lanzhou city.

If you are looking for big modern shopping malls, take No.38 bus to Nanguan junction. A book shop of 6 storeys and a few gigantic stores and big squares.
