Lanzhou
The Yellow River runs through the heart of Lanzhou, giving the city its natural starting point for exploration. Riverside walks, the iron span of Zhongshan Bridge and bowls of freshly pulled noodles introduce a lively provincial capital.
The Gansu Provincial Museum adds context before a longer journey west. Lanzhou is a practical gateway to the Hexi Corridor, with Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiayuguan and Dunhuang unfolding beyond it.
