 pan***heThere happened to be a Hujia Baozi nearby, which was a chain store and a time-honored brand. When we arrived at the restaurant, we had to wait for the carrot and beef buns we had planned, so we ordered half a basket of beef buns and a bowl of millet porridge. I first got the millet porridge, drank a few sips, and then went to get the buns. Half a basket had 5 buns, not too big.

Gansu locals highly recommend these 9 amazing scenic spots that have been all over social media! You absolutely must visit! Hey everyone, today I'm going to list 9 must-see attractions in Gansu! Let's see how many you've been to! Crescent Moon Spring #TravelPhotosWithoutShowingYourFace Location: Mingshan Road, Dunhuang City, Jiuquan City Known as the "First Spring in the Desert." Named for the sound of the sand moving, Crescent Moon Spring is famous for its crescent shape, a wonder of the desert. Jiayuguan Pass #AJourneyLikeASong #FoodFestival #Stitch #LiloToys Location: Northwest Gansu Province, in the middle of the Hexi Corridor, known as the "First Pass Under Heaven." Standing on the gate tower, gazing at the Great Wall, you can almost hear the echoes of history. Mogao Caves Location: Provincial Highway 217, Dunhuang City, Jiuquan City A World Cultural Heritage site, a treasure trove of murals and sculptures. Every mural tells a story, and every sculpture seems to recount a thousand years of history. When visiting Mogao Grottoes, be sure to make a reservation in advance! [One] Hand-pulled Noodles Chuntai Hand-pulled Noodles Hand-pulled mutton | Minimum order 1 jin (500g). Some pieces were surprisingly fatty and had a strong mutton flavor; I wonder if it was because we arrived late. Stir-fried veal (1 jin) beef + potato noodles, savory, slightly spicy, and cumin flavor. The slices weren't thick, and the noodles were soft and chewy, like rice noodles. Cold scallion salad | All ingredients tasted normal, refreshing and not greasy, a must-have for hand-pulled noodles. Overall, slightly below expectations; those with a lighter palate might find it a bit salty. Guofu Yipin I prefer this hand-pulled noodle place; it's the perfect hand-pulled noodle in my mind. [Two] Beef Noodles Zhang Youde Beef Noodles I rushed over before they closed at 3 pm. The thin noodles were chewy and delicious! The chili oil was incredibly fragrant. [Three] Steamed Buns Hu Jia Steamed Buns Carrot and beef buns | Minimum order 5. Very home-style flavor, the dough was well-risen. 100g with chili oil, a delicious bonus! Can be eaten with beef noodle soup for breakfast. [Good Job][Sob]
