How many districts will Lanzhou have in 2025? How to plan a day trip?

Lanzhou is a prefecture-level city and the provincial capital of Gansu Province, China. It is abbreviated as "Lan" and "Gao", and is also known as Jincheng. It is the geometric center of China's land territory and has famous attractions such as the Yellow River Iron Bridge, Baita Mountain, Lanzhou Ink Danxia Tourist Area, Xinglong Mountain, Wuquan Mountain, Qingcheng Ancient Town, and Jintian Temple! Historically, Lanzhou City was called Jincheng in ancient times because gold was dug out when the city was first built here. Another saying is that it was named after the allusion of "Golden City and Hot Springs", which is a metaphor for its solidity. In the third year of Kaihuang (583 AD) during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Jincheng County was renamed Lanzhou and a general administration office was established. Because there is Gaolan Mountain in the south of the city, it is named Lanzhou. So the question is, how many districts will Lanzhou have in 2025? How to plan a day trip? Don’t be impatient, read on! First, how many districts will Lanzhou have in 2025? Lanzhou City currently administers five districts, namely Chengguan, Qilihe, Xigu, Anning and Honggu, and three counties, namely Yongdeng, Yuzhong and Gaolan. It has one national-level new area - Lanzhou New Area, and two national-level development zones - Lanzhou High-tech Development Zone and Lanzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. The airport is: Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport. The high-speed railways are: Lanzhou Station/Lanzhou West Station. Second, how to plan a one-day trip to Lanzhou? After arriving in Lanzhou, how should I plan a one-day trip? I recommend you take a city walk! The route is: ①Gansu Provincial Museum→②Mother Yellow River Statue→③Lanzhou Waterwheel Park→④Yellow River Cableway→⑤Lanzhou Forest of Steles→⑥Baita Temple→⑦Zhongshan Bridge→⑧Dazhong Lane. It is important to note that: 1. The entire route can be completed in less than a day. 2. Lanzhou’s subways and buses support transportation union cards and mobile phone payments. 3. Please note that the Gansu Provincial Museum is closed on Mondays other than holidays, so please pay attention to it in advance. 4. The section from the Yellow River Cableway to the Lanzhou Forest of Steles and then to the White Pagoda Temple is particularly arduous. Although the time is not long, it requires going up and down the mountain. 5. There are many well-known Lanzhou beef noodle chain stores near Zhongshan Bridge (South Bank). The prices are relatively affordable and you can pick any one of them. After a tour, I believe you will have a very good "first impression" of Lanzhou! Third, things to note when visiting Lanzhou 1. Lanzhou has a relatively dry climate. Friends in humid areas should be prepared for humidification, as the climate may be so dry that it may cause nosebleeds or rhinitis. 2. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Lanzhou is quite large. Even in midsummer, it is recommended that you bring a thin long-sleeved shirt and long pants. If you arrive in Lanzhou at night, it is recommended that children wear long pants. 3. The airport is far away from the city, and you need to take an intercity train or bus to get to the city! 4. Keep an eye on your children and don’t let them enter the Yellow River as it is full of mud and sand, which can easily lead to infection. Moreover, the water of the Yellow River is quite turbulent, so please pay attention to safety when you are playing and do not go near the river. 5. Traffic in Lanzhou is prone to congestion, so the subway is recommended. 6. If you stay in Lanzhou for two days, you can also go to Liujia Gorge to see the confluence of Huangtao River or go to Bingling Temple Grottoes. 7. It is recommended to arrange accommodation at Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street or Lanzhou West Railway Station. How about it? After this introduction, do you know how many districts there are in Lanzhou and how to plan a one-day trip? Welcome to leave a message to discuss!
