Lanzhou is a stop worth making a special stop on the Yellow River city wall. For 2 days and 1 night, between the Yellow River Iron Bridge and Zhengning Road Night Market, encounter the unique atmosphere of Lanzhou.
Before venturing deep into Lanzhou, the breath of the Yellow River Iron Bridge had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly eased, making one want to stand a little longer.
Zhengning Road Night Market is the most visually appealing spot in Lanzhou. Following its route slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.
Avoiding the crowds and sneaking into the Gansu Provincial Museum, Lanzhou reveals its true self. Elderly people, alleys, stoves, and laughter enter the memory even before the scenic spots.
After nightfall, Lanzhou's Baita Mountain lights up, and the warm yellow glow turns the daytime's grandeur into gentleness. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.
When leaving Lanzhou, I felt a bit reluctant, but the Yellow River Iron Bridge replayed in my mind. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved the trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself on you.
