Who understands the shock of a southerner visiting Gansu for the first time

"The wind in the Northwest is always rugged, If you like romance, it's not barren here." This time, I came to the Northwest city – Lanzhou, Gansu. Previously, my imagination of Northwest cities was limited to scenes like "a lone smoke column in the vast desert, a round sun setting over a long river," until I truly set foot on this land and discovered its charm goes far beyond that! Cityscapes surrounded by mountains, the majestic flow of the Yellow River, bustling night markets – this intertwining of vastness and prosperity is truly stunning… Sharing some photos taken this time: 1️⃣Kushui Danxia 2️⃣Zhongshan Bridge 3️⃣Lanshan Santai Pavilion 3️⃣Wasteland Train 📍Lanzhou West EMU Depot, navigate to [Western Scrap Metal Market], on the overpass. 4️⃣Lanzhou Little Yellow Duck Park 5️⃣Lanshan Glass Skywalk Observation Deck 6️⃣Western Scrap Metal Overpass 7️⃣Lanzhou Xigu Flaming Mountain 8️⃣Labrang Monastery 9️⃣Shantytown near Lanzhou Center 1️⃣0️⃣Lanzhou Xigu Flaming Mountain 1️⃣1️⃣Yuansen Beixin Era Wisteria Garden 1️⃣2️⃣Aerial view of sheep flock 1️⃣3️⃣En route to Gannan Secret Realm 1️⃣4️⃣Lanzhou Ertai Pavilion Observation Deck (Lanhattan) 1️⃣5️⃣Lanshan Glass Skywalk Observation Deck 1️⃣6️⃣Western Film City 1️⃣7️⃣Generational Transition (Huilongpo) 1️⃣8️⃣Atour S Hotel Lanzhou 🩵More photo spots have been included in the homepage collection 🔵Feel free to ask questions and discuss in the comments section~ - -
