[2025 Lanzhou Stay] Travel Guide for Crowne Plaza Lanzhou (Updated Mar)

❤Recommendation reason: [Rainbow][Rainbow][Rainbow]Look at the Deshui River quietly coming from afar, and watch the Yellow River rushing away! In the mood for sightseeing, I took a taxi to Wanghe Pavilion for a look. The sun is rising and people are hurrying. When you get off the car and walk to the pavilion, the three words "Wanghe Pavilion" jump into your eyes. They were written by Zuo Zongtang. The font is powerful, just like the rhythm of the Yellow River. The pavilion is simple and elegant in design. A pavilion-style building that is both ancient and solemn while also highlighting modern design concepts. There is an observation deck in the pavilion, from which you can overlook the beauty of the Yellow River, as well as the urban construction and development achievements of Lanzhou city, and experience the unique highlight of "the banks of the Yellow River are also beautiful". The couplets on the pavilion have deep cultural connotations, profound meanings and far-sightedness. "The mountains cannot block the Mid-Autumn Moon, and the love of the Yellow River can be seen again after a thousand years." Standing on the viewing platform, you can see a thousand miles away. Take a deep breath of morning air, and you will be filled with thoughts. Suddenly, you will feel a sense of inspiration. You will feel a sense of pleasure and immediately express your feelings. You will chant: "Looking at the quiet water of Deshui, watching the Yellow River rushing away." After reciting the poem, his mood became calm and a smile appeared on his face. I 🈚️ shook my head and laughed at myself. The sound of waves has remained calm for thousands of years, why bother yourself with worrying about your pure heart? As long as everything is fine! About a hundred meters to the east, the red walls of the Dragon King Temple are different from the surrounding colors. The blue-gray antique buildings look more solemn in the river breeze. The offerings are basically the same as those in Dragon King Temples in various places. The temple is full of incense and the fragrance is wafting in the air. Pilgrims are burning incense and praying for blessings, bowing devoutly and reciting seriously. After a tour and exiting the Dragon King Temple, people have different ways of praying and making wishes, but the end result is the same: they all hope that tomorrow will be better! [Rainbow][Rainbow]Historical experience of Wanghe Pavilion: [One] Lanzhou Wanghe Pavilion has a long history. Zuo Zongtang wrote the name of the pavilion and the couplets on both sides. [Two] In order to recall history and restore the original scenic spots on the banks of the Yellow River, it was decided to rebuild the pavilion on the original site and named it Wanghe Pavilion. ‌‌ [Three] The River Viewing Pavilion stands quietly on the bank of the Yellow River, watching the tides rise and fall, and appreciating the scenery under the slanting moonlight on the night river. The appearance and history of the ancient Jincheng are all recorded in my mind. [Four] The reconstruction of Wanghe Pavilion embodies people’s reliance on and respect for the Yellow River. [Five] Wanghe Pavilion is also a good place to enjoy the scenery, express your feelings and feel relaxed. Yellow River cruise ships shuttled back and forth on the water outside the pavilion. The sound of the whistle awakened me from my dream, and I worked hard from then on! [Six] Standing in the pavilion and looking out, the Jinyan Bridge to the west is clearly visible, like a white ribbon dancing gracefully; the Yellow River Bridge to the east is like a red rainbow flying across the river. The scenery is breathtaking. [Seven] The Wanghe Pavilion is integrated with the scenery of the Yellow River, adding the icing on the cake and forming a harmonious viewing platform. [Eight] The River Viewing Pavilion has also become a highlight of the 40-kilometer Yellow River Scenic Line. It has become a must-visit place for citizens and foreign tourists, showcasing the unique charm of Lanzhou's Yellow River Scenic Line and the inclusive and open spirit of the Lanzhou people! 📍Detailed address: About 40 meters northeast of Lanzhou Sports Park, Nanbinhe East Road, Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. [○]Open-air attractions, open 24 hours a day. 📝Note tips: [One] There are few parking spaces around and they are tight. [Two] It is recommended to take a taxi or online car-hailing service 🚘. [Three] It was early spring, the weather was warm but still cold, and there was still some chill by the river. [Four] Protect the environment and don’t litter.

| Trip to Lanzhou. For the May Day holiday, I chose Lanzhou because it's not a popular tourist city. I booked a scenic room at the Lanzhou Crowne Plaza Hotel. Overall, the hardware of IHG's hotels is good, but there is room for improvement in service details. To let my child experience the grandeur of the Yellow River's waters that come from the heavens and rush to the sea never to return, as the saying goes, the river indeed widened suddenly after a day of rain. At night, we boarded a cruise at the Yanchang Ferry to appreciate the night view of the Yellow River, which was magnificent, but it was bitterly cold. Lanzhou must be a great place to escape the summer heat.

Enjoying a leisurely holiday, how can one indulge in this laid-back moment? By the banks of the Yellow River, gather a group of friends, brew a pot of clear tea, roast some fruits, sit around the stove, sip tea while chatting, and relax in comfort. It's about laurels, a warm winter, a clear sky, and peaceful times. A river (the Yellow River), a book (Reader), a bowl of noodles (beef noodles), a cake (rose cake), a stone (Yellow River stone)", the combination of accommodation + touring the Yellow River, touring Danxia, checking in at the top of Lanzhou, and other city micro-vacation series, enhances the immersive experience during the stay. The lobby of the Lanzhou Crowne Plaza Hotel is decorated with ginkgo leaves, with golden leaves spread under the grand piano, transforming into lively ballet dancers, twirling joyfully to the piano's melody, offering guests the most beautiful poetic encounter! The hotel also turns ginkgo leaves into roses, adorning the tables of the hotel buffet restaurant, collecting fallen leaves, writing warm blessings, and presenting creatively designed ginkgo leaf greeting cards. This riverside room, loved it.

Lanzhou Crown Holiday Hotel 1. The service is good.
