PEI A FU

Apricot peel tea can be said to be the most representative drink in Lanzhou. There is only one such shop in Lanzhou. Its specialty is that it can make a deluxe version with apricot flesh. A cup of it in summer is especially refreshing and has a very natural taste. The downside is that the apricot flesh is a bit large, making it a bit difficult to suck up at the end of the meal.

The shop is so low-key. I looked for it along Dazhong Lane until I saw it when I was close to Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street! The apricot peel tea with apricot pulp is divine. It has a rich fruity aroma and a sweet and sour taste. It made me miss it for a long time! On the way back, I bought n packs of pre-made apricot peel tea at the dry goods market, but it didn’t taste like Afu’s! For this tea, Lanzhou is worth coming back!

It still tastes the same as before, worth tasting, a good choice!

We took a photo with the Yellow River Mother Statue. After walking several streets, we finally found some "Barbecue" pears and ate them (they have a very unique texture, soft and slightly grainy). We ate Lanzhou noodles. We bought Fangha milk tea (you must try it). We saw the sheepskin rafts (but didn't dare ride them). We drank apricot juice (I recommend Pei Afu). We strolled through the snack street (don't go there). We visited the Provincial Museum (the kids were too young; they were only interested in the dinosaurs and the Yellow River elephant). Overall, it's a place suitable for a leisurely day of sightseeing (no more than that). Don't buy yogurt by the Yellow River (it's half the price of the same yogurt in the supermarket).

Gansu, you're not promoting Lanzhou...you're so clueless!! Why didn't anyone tell me there were so many delicious things to eat besides Gansu Malatang? Luckily, I did my research! I ate [One][Zero] meals in two days 🙈 Every meal was incredibly satisfying!! Lanzhou is a treasure trove! 👇🏻 Here's a highly efficient food and shopping list!
