Winter Lanzhou Private Car Five-Day Tour Nanny-Level Guide

Winter around Lanzhou hides stunning limited-time scenery✨ This 5-day private car tour connects treasure spots like Ink Wash Danxia, Mayashan Snow Mountain, Yellow River Stone Forest, and Bingling Temple Grottoes. The itinerary is relaxed throughout, and we bring hot water and a drone to help you unlock the vastness and romance of Northwest China~ 🗓️ Full reveal of the 5-day highlight itinerary ❶ Day 1: Ink Wash Danxia → Tianfu Shagong → Lanshan Park Winter Ink Wash Danxia is free from crowds, and the red sandstone against the white snow looks like an ink wash landscape painting🎨 We take you to a lesser-known viewing platform, with free drone aerial shots arranged! The unique landforms of Tianfu Shagong are perfect for sci-fi style photos, and in the evening, climb Lanshan Park to overlook the city lights of Lanzhou, instantly getting the "Northwest Manhattan" night view~ ❷ Day 2: Mayashan Snow Mountain → Wushaoling The winter-exclusive snow mountain feast is here! Mayashan Snow Mountain is covered in snow, sparkling like diamonds under the sunlight💎 We prepare warm packs and hot water, taking you to a close viewing platform. Wearing light-colored coats makes for great photos~ In the afternoon, visit Wushaoling, where the ruins of the ancient Silk Road blend with the vast Gobi Desert. The guide’s historical stories add depth to the journey. ❸ Day 3: Confluence of Huanghe and Tao Rivers → Liujiaxia Viewing Platform → Bingling Temple Grottoes See with your own eyes the stunning "clear distinction" where the Yellow River and Tao River meet! The yellow and green clash at the confluence is amazing, and the winter lake surface at Liujiaxia is calm like a mirror, reflecting distant mountains⛰️ In the afternoon, explore Bingling Temple Grottoes, where thousand-year-old Buddha statues look even more solemn in the light and shadow. The guide will explain grotto culture in detail, making the visit meaningful. ❹ Day 4: Yellow River Stone Forest One-Day Tour The Yellow River Stone Forest is less crowded and more beautiful in winter. Ride a sheepskin raft downstream (fully equipped for warmth). The ravines of the Stone Forest look even more majestic under the winter sun. Hiking here feels like stepping into a martial arts movie scene. Our guide will help you find the best photo spots, so every shot is a masterpiece~ ❺ Day 5: Provincial Museum → Yellow River Mother Statue → Zhongshan Bridge → Baita Mountain → Zhengning Road Night Market The last day is for eating and sightseeing in Lanzhou city! Don’t miss the Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow at the Provincial Museum (we help you avoid queues). Check in at classic landmarks like the Yellow River Mother Statue and Zhongshan Bridge. In the evening, climb Baita Mountain to overlook the Yellow River, then head straight to Zhengning Road Night Market to enjoy sweet fermented rice milk tea and milk egg rice wine to your heart’s content🥤 🚗 Service Highlights ✅ Pickup and drop-off in Lanzhou main urban area, no need to wake up early or rush for transport, flexible itinerary ✅ Full formal private car service, spacious and comfortable, can stop anytime for photos ✅ Professional guide + driver team, familiar with routes, no detours, also serve as photographers ✅ Free hot water, warm packs, first aid kit provided, very thoughtful for winter travel ✅ Free drone aerial photography, your social media posts will be the star 💡 Winter Travel Tips ▪️ Clothing: Wear thermal underwear + thick coat + scarf and hat; light-colored clothes look better in photos ▪️ Gear: Sunscreen, sunglasses, and power bank are essential; strong light on snow mountains and Danxia ▪️ Food: Besides the night market, we can also take you to local old-brand beef noodles and hand-grabbed lamb
