Things to do in Yuzhong

There are many kinds of marine animals inside, and children have a great time. There are many kinds of marine life, as well as an amusement park and a petting zoo where children can feed the animals themselves, which is a lot of fun.

It's still autumn season in Jiangnan, but it's snowing heavily in Lanzhou. The snow is very natural. The ski resort is very large and it's very comfortable to play. The ski resort is not expensive and there are few people. It's really suitable to come here in the off-season.

Lanzhou University was affected and restricted by the space for running schools in Lanzhou City, and it was difficult for it to adapt to the reform and opening up and the development of higher education. Under such circumstances, the Party Committee of the University judged the situation, seized the opportunity, and decisively made the important decision of "developing school space and expanding the scale of school operation". In November 2000, the Ministry of Education issued the "Approval for the Preparation of Lanzhou University Yuzhong Campus" (Teaching Development [2000] No. 150), and Lanzhou University became one of the first two key universities approved by the Ministry of Education to expand the new campus. At the end of August 2001, the first phase of construction and maintenance of Yuzhong Campus (North District) was basically completed, and the first batch of freshmen moved into the new campus smoothly. Management System Yuzhong Campus implements the management system of "unified leadership of the school, combining local management with departmental extension, and daily operation is mainly based on local management". Operation Mechanism The campus has established the "Lanzhou University Yuzhong Campus Working Committee of the Communist Party of China" and the "Lanzhou University Yuzhong Campus Management Committee". As the party and government agencies of the school, the "two committees" represent the school to fully perform the functions of macro-coordination, supervision, leadership and decision-making on the work of the campus. The campus has a comprehensive management office, which is the functional department of the school on the campus, and is also the office of the campus working committee and management committee. All permanent institutions, functional extension departments, and colleges are under the dual leadership of the original unit and the two committees.

It is a very nice green mountain among the mountains in Gansu. The air is good and it is not very tiring to climb. The scenery is quite nice. There is also a cable car between the two mountains, which is quite good.

The Gansu Provincial Museum is an absolute must-see during your trip to Lanzhou! The museum's collection is breathtakingly rich, especially the painted pottery exhibition hall. The patterns from thousands of years ago still possess a remarkable beauty, a testament to the wisdom of the ancients. Of course, the most unmissable exhibit is the museum's crown jewel, the "Flying Horse of Gansu" (bronze galloping horse). Seeing it in person is a truly awe-inspiring experience that pictures can't capture. The row of adorable terracotta figurines is also incredibly photogenic. The entire visit is both educational and entertaining, and with free reservations, it's excellent value. I highly recommend setting aside half a day for a leisurely exploration, and definitely hire a guide or rent an audio guide – it will elevate your experience significantly!

Located in Lanzhou Shifogou National Forest Park, Xuanlong Temple is a tranquil Taoist temple hidden deep in the mountains. Following the road to the foot of Yunding Mountain, a dark green Taoist temple suddenly appears on a high platform, its blue plaque bearing the ancient and powerful characters "Xuanlong Temple." Inside, the temple's halls are winding and serene, while behind it lie verdant mountains and picturesque peaks. Hiking up the mountain, one sees sea buckthorn berries hanging heavy along the path, and a glass walkway is taking shape at the summit. From the top, one can enjoy panoramic views of the city, making it an ideal weekend getaway for exploring history, culture, and nature.

Qingcheng Ancient Town in Yuzhong, Gansu: Located on the southern bank of the Yellow River at the northernmost end of Yuzhong County, Gansu Province, 104 kilometers away from the county seat, it was first built during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty by Di Qing, the governor of Qinzhou, during his border patrol, hence the name Qingcheng. Most of the buildings in Qingcheng are newly built, and the main ancient buildings include the City God Temple, Luo Family Courtyard, Qingcheng Academy, Stele Forest, Gao Family Ancestral Hall, and some ancient dwellings.

The Yellow River Grand Canyon Scenic Area has beautiful scenery. It has the majestic beauty of a canyon and the flexibility of a close-up view. It has become a favorite tourist destination for many tourists and is indeed very attractive.

Before coming to Lanzhou, I had no idea what this bridge was like. I arrived around 3 PM; the sun was still blazing, and the iron railings on the bridge felt hot to the touch. This iron bridge, built in 1909, spans the Yellow River, looking sturdy yet silent. Standing on the bridge, the Yellow River surged beneath my feet, carrying the scent of silt. Speedboats darted out from under the arches, splashing up waves, and children on the bank screamed excitedly—their jubilation was unstoppable. I didn't rush up the mountain; instead, I found a seat at a teahouse under the bridge. I ordered a cup of "Sanpaotai" (a type of local tea), 15 yuan, with refills. The bamboo chair was a bit old, but just the right amount of comfortable. Several local old men around me were cracking sunflower seeds and playing chess, occasionally glancing up at the river and saying, "The water's risen again." That relaxed feeling is rare in tourist spots. You absolutely must try the Sanpaotai at the teahouse. Don't rush; sit for at least half an hour, just gazing at the river and daydreaming—that's the real deal. The cruise ticket is only a few dozen yuan, not expensive at all, and worth experiencing the view from under the bridge. Speedboats and sheepskin rafts are available on the shore; thrill-seekers can give them a try. Regarding photography: the "Zhongshan Bridge" stone monument on the south side of the bridge is a classic spot for photos. Take your time; although the sun is strong 🌞, the river breeze is very pleasant.

The town's tourism development is well-planned, stylish, and includes accommodations and projects. However, when I visited yesterday, it was almost deserted. Only a large canteen and a restaurant were open, along with a small, isolated shop. It felt like a ghost town, which was a real shame. In the sweltering heat of the south, it was only 17 degrees Celsius here yesterday. It seems the advertising and promotional video campaign wasn't done well; nobody knows about it, which is a huge waste of resources.
