Hujia Steamed Stuffed Bun

The hotel is not far from Hu's Baozi, so we went there for breakfast. We first went to the one on Dazhong Lane, but that one opened later, so we went to Xiguan. The door is very small, but it's a different world after entering. It's very big. We ordered 5 beef and carrot buns, 5 vegetarian buns, 1 fermented glutinous rice, and 1 millet porridge. The buns are really delicious, better than the ones in the south. Both flavors are delicious, but each variety of buns must be sold in 5 pieces, which is too much for southerners. The two of us were so full that we packed up the remaining 4 buns.

Lanzhou: More Than Just a Bowl of Noodles In the public imagination, Lanzhou seems to be defined by a bowl of beef noodles, but in reality, it's much more than that. This important northwestern city, with the Yellow River running through it, is leveraging its unique charm to rise from obscurity to a prominent tourist destination, becoming a rising star in the tourism industry. Lanzhou's popularity is primarily due to its "culinary scene." Beef noodles, the star of Lanzhou cuisine, adhere to strict standards: one clear (clear broth); two white (white radish); three red (red chili oil); four green (green cilantro and garlic sprouts); and five yellow (bright yellow noodles). In the morning, the streets are filled with the aroma of beef noodles. Diners order bowls, and cries of "more chili" echo in the air. The chewy noodles paired with the fragrant, hot broth offer a refreshing start to the day. Besides beef noodles, Lanzhou's cuisine is also mouth-watering. From chewy, glutinous rice noodles to spicy potato chips, dense gray beans, and sweet and sour sweet fermented mash, there are also specialties like Hujia steamed buns, hand-pulled lamb, and fermented glutinous rice wine with milk and eggs. Every bite is rich in Northwest flavor. Lanzhou is also a city rich in history and culture, a veritable "walking history textbook." The Gansu Provincial Museum is a must-see destination, boasting a rich collection. Its flagship sculpture, the "Horse Galloping over Flying Swallow," is a sleek and exquisite piece of art, showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of ancient artisans and depicting the splendor of the Silk Road. The Bamboo Slips Museum is a treasure trove of bamboo slips culture, housing nearly 40,000 slips carrying historical information from the Qin Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, offering a glimpse into the political, economic, and cultural landscape of the past. When visiting Lanzhou, wandering through its ancient streets and alleys, touching traces of history, it's as if you can hear the footsteps of time. Lanzhou's natural scenery is truly unique. The Yellow River flows through the city, adding to its vibrant and magnificent beauty. Zhongshan Bridge, spanning the Yellow River, has weathered centuries of wind and rain, witnessing the vicissitudes of Lanzhou. At night, illuminated by the vibrant lights, the bridge and the river intertwine in a breathtakingly beautiful hue. The Yellow River Mother sculpture stands quietly, symbolizing her loving care for the people of China. Rafting on a sheepskin raft, listening to the raftsmen's heroic chants, and feeling the Yellow River's majestic power are truly inspiring. Furthermore, the vibrant colors of the Danxia landforms at the Ink and Washi Danxia Scenic Area are a breathtaking display of nature's unparalleled craftsmanship. The lush peaks of Xinglong Mountain offer a relaxing escape from the summer heat. The hospitality of Lanzhou's people is also a unique charm of the city. In Lanzhou, passersby will enthusiastically offer directions or even take you there. Restaurant owners will thoughtfully recommend special dishes to ensure a satisfying meal. This kind of interpersonal warmth creates a homely atmosphere for visitors and makes Lanzhou a more approachable city. Of course, Lanzhou's tourism development also has some shortcomings. Tourism infrastructure still needs improvement. Traffic congestion and accommodation conditions around some scenic spots need improvement. The quality of tourism services varies widely, and some businesses engage in overcharging, impacting the visitor experience. However, I believe that with Lanzhou's increased focus on tourism, these issues will gradually improve. Lanzhou's explosive popularity is no accident; it is the result of a culinary, cultural, natural, and cultural heritage. Like a newly discovered treasure, it showcases the unique charm of Northwest China. This charming city welcomes more visitors to experience its unique charm. I believe everyone who visits Lanzhou will be captivated and leave with unforgettable memories.

A native Cantonese, my dream of visiting Northwest China finally came true! Lanzhou was my first stop, a place filled with delicious food and fun activities. Today, I'm recommending two incredible restaurants! 🍜 Halal Guoyi Cold Noodles, Beef Noodles, and BBQ (Mars Street Flagship Store) 📍 Address: 58 Mars Street, Qilihe District 💰 Per person: 25r A century-old restaurant, established in 1923! Super affordable, a serving of cold noodles is only 10r! The chili is incredibly spicy 🌶️, so use less if you can. I especially recommend the open-fire barbecued meat 🔥; even I, who doesn't eat lamb, loved it! It's completely free of mutton smell, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and incredibly fragrant! The braised beef is also incredible, bursting with flavor! 🫔 Halal Hujia Baozi Shop 📍 Address: 98 Linxia Road, Chengguan District 💰 Per person: 20r Even Ulala has checked in! This baozi shop will totally blow your mind! The buns were super large (twice the size of Guangzhou buns 👀), freshly steamed and super fresh. We ordered three flavors: ✨Vegetarian buns (chives, tofu, egg white, and white fungus) ✨Chives and beef buns and red bean paste buns ✨(Key point) Make sure to dip them in their chili oil; it's incredibly fragrant! After eating at Guoyi, we went to see the Yellow River Mother Statue. Recommended bus route: Zhengjiazhuang Road South Exit 🚌 → West Lake Park Station. This unexpected surprise allowed me to see real willow trees for the first time! 🌳 I finally understood the beauty of "thousands of green ribbons dangling down." The park was filled with elderly people playing chess and children playing, full of life. It's a short walk through the park to the Yellow River Mother Statue, which was packed with people taking photos. 📸 Sitting by the Yellow River and just daydreaming was so relaxing. There's also a sheepskin rafting experience (I regret not trying it!). I'll definitely make it my next visit! 🚣 #LanzhouFoodRecommendations #NorthwestFoodDiary #YellowRiverCheck-inGuide #GuangdongEatLanzhou #Hu'sDumplings
