Things to do in Gaolan

It was just okay. The ticket price wasn't worth it, and there were no children's tickets. The place is huge, and you need to buy a separate ticket for the sightseeing bus. The sightseeing bus service is very good; you can hop on and off at any of the sightseeing spots in the film studio, and you can also call the driver, who will come to pick you up or drop you off immediately.

I was so happy to see pandas 🐼 and raccoons 🐻! The park is so big 😎 with two areas! Both driving 🚗 and walking 🚶🏻‍♀️ are so much fun 😆! In the drive-through area, you can interact with the animals 😏! Just turn around and there are adorable ❤️ animals walking right up to your car 😃! It was my first time getting so close to large animals! So exciting 💗! Even I, a kid, was thrilled! The walking area is very user-friendly 🙂 with escalators and sightseeing vehicles. A well-planned tour of the entire area 😎! You can see all sorts of animals you've seen on TV 📺 🦬

There are height and weight requirements. Children under 1.4 meters can hardly play anything and can only play indoor facilities. The outdoor projects are not fully open, resulting in long queues. The wave pool is good, and the supporting facilities are also complete. Overall, it's okay.

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!

It was surprisingly entertaining 😍 we went thinking it was just a beautiful natural scenario but had a lot of fun with the equipments also. The waterslide its a must try!

This ancient town, a few kilometers away from Lanzhou Airport, is divided into food area, leisure area, etc. There is a big lake in the center and the scenery is quite good. It is just too remote so there are not many tourists, so it is naturally very peaceful. You can walk around here at night and taste the special food of Lanzhou and the Northwest. Overall it is quite good.

It is precious to have such amusement projects in Lanzhou, a cultural desert. Lanzhou people should enjoy and cherish them.

Longshan Ski Resort has the longest intermediate trail (~1km) in Lanzhou and surrounding ski resorts. It is moderately difficult and very suitable for advanced practice. There are also several beginner trails and the venue is large. I feel that Longshan Ski Resort is the ski resort with the most potential in Lanzhou. There are many long ski trails. When the pine trees in the ski resort are fully grown, the scenery will be very good. In the future, if the parking lot and the surrounding environment are tidied up, Longshan can be built into a regional ski center to attract ski enthusiasts from Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Sichuan.

Liyuan is located in the northeast of Lanzhou, Gansu Province. There is an ancient town called Shichuan Town, which is known as the "Pear Garden in the World". It is located about 20 kilometers northeast of Lanzhou. The Yellow River runs through it. It is rich in fruits and vegetables, and is commonly known as the "Little Jiangnan" on the frontier. The Yellow River turns north here, leaving this land with unchanging fertile land. There are green mountains in the north and south, and turbulent rivers in the east and west. The scenery is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. However, the most amazing thing is that there is the largest pear garden in China with an area of ​​10,000 mu, which is known as the "World's First Ancient Pear Garden". The continuous pear garden covers an area of ​​more than 12,000 mu, and most of the trees are more than 300 years old. There are more than 9,000 ancient pear trees over 100 years old, covering an area of ​​4,000 mu. It was officially entered into the "Guinness Book of World Records" in 2013. It is only half an hour's drive from Lanzhou City, and the transportation is very convenient.

The scenic area seemed reasonably priced, and the scenery was very beautiful. However, the facilities within the area weren't particularly interesting. It's best to come here at sunset to watch the Yellow River. Overall, the experience was still worthwhile.
