[2024 Lanzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Five-Spring(Wuquan) Park (Updated Nov)

Wuqian Mountain Park

Located in the northern foothills of Gaolan Mountain in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, it is named after the five springs of Huiquan, Ganlu Spring, Juyue Spring, Mozi Spring, and Meng Spring. The ancient buildings in the park were built in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, Mr. Liu Erxin, a famous Confucian scholar in modern Lanzhou, raised funds to repair the original dilapidated buildings. The park's attractions are mainly five famous springs and ancient Buddhist buildings, including more than ten ancient buildings such as Chongqing Temple, Qianfo Pavilion, Mani Temple, Dizang Temple, Sanjiao Temple, Banyue Pavilion, Jianqiao, and Zhongshan Hall since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with more than 1,000 rooms. In Wuqian Park, you can not only enjoy ancient buildings but also climb to the top of the mountain. You can see Lanzhou City from Wuqian and Lanshan Mountain, which not only meets the needs of sightseeing but also fully exercises your body. Compared with Lanshan Park, I recommend Wuqian Mountain Park. There are many cultural landscapes, and you will gain more from the tour without getting tired. Climb to the West Bus Station Cross, walk to the gate of Wuqian Mountain Park, climb to the top of the mountain, walk along the walking path to the second pavilion, and then take bus 750 down the mountain to Andingmen. The amount of exercise in a day is just right. If you want to see the night view of Lanzhou at the top of Lanshan Mountain at night, you can continue to climb the mountain.

The path leading up to Wuchan Mountain Park...

From a high place on Wuchan Mountain, you can see water trickling down one side of the cliff, falling into a clear pond below. This place is none other than Xilong District. From here, Ganlu Spring is very close. "Ganlu Spring" is the highest spring among the Wuchan, located to the west of Yechang Palace, with a lonely pavilion guarding it. The spring water flows thinly, never overflowing even in prolonged rain, nor drying up in drought, and tastes as sweet as nectar when drunk. According to legend, this spring signifies that 'when the world is at peace, nectar will descend from the heavens.'

The temple in Wuquan Mountain Park... Lanzhou.

Living in Lanzhou is very close to the local area. At the entrance, there is a morning market, fruits, vegetables, and a daily department store are the main offerings. The prices are reasonable. It's good for buying vegetables and fruits. Below the tourist spot, there is good greening. There are amusement rides and performances.. It's also a resort park where people of all ages can enjoy. There is a wonderful temple visible when you come up the trekking course. I walked up the mountain. Since it's all dirt roads, you need to take care of your physical strength.. haha For those who find it difficult to find the entrance to climb the mountain, you can start from the entrance of this park and climb up to Nanshan.

Look up and see that the mountain is still high, but I am not up to it. After drinking tea at the Jizu Temple, I started to descend the mountain. Along the way, I also visited places such as the Wenchang Palace and Wuhou Temple. The layout of the scenic area is compact, with carved beams and painted rafters. Pavilions, towers, flying eaves, and upturned corners. The buildings are ancient and profound. The couplets and plaques are wonderful. While touring, there is endless aftertaste.
