Take a look at Wuquanshan Park in front of the rule to what a city, a sentence mess even a parking lot are not.
Speaking of Lanzhou, what do you associate with it? Pollution? Congestion? Drought? Dust? Camels in the streets? You may have had the chance to see all these elements before the Nogan years, but Lanzhou nowadays has already waved goodbye to these histories. And Lanzhou is more than just a book, a bowl of noodles and a river - it's so much more than that, you'll be able to refresh your memory!
Now, if you have the opportunity to come to Lanzhou, the first impression is why is the environment here different from what I imagined? Indeed, Lanzhou was known globally for its level of pollution a decade or so ago. At the end of the last century, relevant authoritative organizations also listed Lanzhou as one of the top ten polluted cities in the world, and Lanzhou once became a city that could not be found in satellites. But with the unremitting efforts of Lanzhou people in recent years, this black hat has been successfully dumped by us.
Late in 2015, Lanzhou was honored with the "Today's Change Progress Award" at the Paris Climate Conference. Receiving this award is an affirmation of Lanzhou's air pollution control, as well as great encouragement and encouragement. As the only non-low-carbon pilot city in China, Lanzhou was invited to participate in the conference to share with domestic and foreign guests its practice of air pollution control and vision of low-carbon city construction, and issued the "voice of Lanzhou" of green development to the world, which was fully affirmed and positively evaluated by the delegates. It was awarded the "Today's Change Progress Award" by the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the China Low Carbon Alliance, the American Environmental Protection Association and the China Low Carbon Emission Reduction Specialized Committee.
"Lanzhou blue" has become a new name card of Lanzhou, if there are still people who use the term "pollution city" to describe Lanzhou, then I can only use ignorance and ignorance to look at these friends.
This is not the Colorado Grand Canyon in the United States, nor is it the colorful Danxia landform in Zhangye, which is only half an hour's drive from downtown Lanzhou's Shuping Danxia Geological Park. There is no world-class title here, but the scenery here is definitely worthy of the world's eyes.
The aridity of the Northwest is well known, but aridity does not mean barrenness. Our hills are filled with mysterious light, and these slopes seem to be draped in a rainbow of splendor. This is the nearest Danxia landscape to the city, which is rare in China and even in the world, with its colorful landforms and intact naturalness, basically devoid of human activities except for the fringe areas, which maintain their primitive magnificence.
Along the Danxia dazzle colorful scroll from west to east, the sky axe Shagong, Renshou Mountain and so on in order to compete in the show. Renshou Mountain, the mountain pavilions and pavilions, covered with green trees and flowers. Renshou Mountain around ten miles of peach township, 10,000 acres of peach orchards, every time the peach blossom, tourists like weaving, viewers such as tide, and contributed to a new landscape in Lanzhou.
Taking a hot air balloon in Myanmar, overlooking the country of a thousand towers, listening to the sound of Buddhist temples; taking a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking at the country of a thousand hills, feeling the nature of the ghostly craftsmanship; and taking a hot air balloon in China's Danxia, is a shock of the soul, as if in the palette of the overturned.
In the Northwest Plateau, we still can't get enough of cypresses and pines, as the intersection of the Qinling and Qilian mountain ranges, the Loess Plateau, the Tibetan Plateau, the Inner Mongolia Plateau collision, Lanzhou's forests are also around the city in order to grow.
There are two national nature reserves and three national forest parks alone. These nature reserves as well as forest parks surround the city of Lanzhou and inject green vitality into the city. So, although Lanzhou is inland, it is never short of green.
When it comes to the culture of Lanzhou, the first thing that comes to mind is Lanzhou Ramen and Reader Magazine. Yes, these two business cards have endorsed the city of Lanzhou for many years, but it is not known that the city of Lanzhou has more than just culture. Lanzhou Taiping Drum is a traditional drum dance with a history of more than 600 years, known as "the first drum in the world". It is mainly spread in Lanzhou, Gaolan, Yongdeng, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Jingyuan and other places in Gansu Province. Taiping drum as Lanzhou area urban and rural people love one of the folk performance forms, whenever a big celebration, the performance is the climax of the whole event, the powerful drums, showing the heroic spirit of the people of the Yellow River, its style is unique, with a strong Northwest characteristics and artistic verve.
As the "spokesman" of China's tourism, the national cultural relics of the East Prancing Horse, is now in the Gansu Museum. The historical and artistic value of the bronze horses is self-evident, and this precious national treasure is a must-see for visitors to Lanzhou.
This pair of drawings is called "Postman's Drawing" which may be unfamiliar to a lot of friends, but when I mention China Post, I think you will have heard of it, right? This pair of brick paintings from the Wei and Jin Dynasty mural tomb in Jiayuguan Pass, come to the Gansu Provincial Museum in Lanzhou, you can appreciate her charm.
In Lanzhou, you can dig into history dating back to prehistoric civilizations, and countless civilizations have intertwined here as a nodal city on the Silk Road. Every piece of history is a piece of the Golden City's past.
Lanzhou's special history and environment has also created a unique way of life for the local people, and when it comes to food, you can't leave out the noodles. Putting aside the topic of Lanzhou Ramen, Lanzhou's noodle dishes are also varied and complicated. Cold noodles, fried noodles, chow mein, soup noodles and so on on the market have an incredible chemical reaction when they are integrated into the local ethnic characteristics of Lanzhou. The variety of noodle dishes will make your mouth water and your eyes wide open!
Lanzhou's special geographic pattern, the originator of congestion in Lanzhou, the geographical form of the two mountains sandwiched by a river, so that the traffic in Lanzhou has been in a very tense state, and in recent years, the big data show that Lanzhou was once the first national congestion coefficient! But in recent years, the improvement and widening of various roads in Lanzhou, as well as a variety of elevated built and put into operation, Lanzhou ground transportation is gradually restored to a smooth state. At the end of this year, the opening of the subway will be more to improve the transportation of Lanzhou a good medicine.
Lanzhou at night, the colorful city, you have never seen these wonderful, are the beginning of your re-knowledge of Lanzhou. We have the blue sky, we are sitting in the prosperity, we enjoy the great northwest brought by the bold feelings.
Here is Lanzhou, the geographic center of the motherland, the Yellow River infiltrated the metropolis ------
Lanzhou gives me the feeling that it is a good wine, the higher the vintage, the stronger the fragrance of the wine. I'm not from Lanzhou, my hometown is not far away from Lanzhou and the deep origin of the silver city. Not afraid of jokes, before junior high school I have been staying in the rural areas of my hometown, have not been out of the house, the provincial capital of Lanzhou for me at that time, is a distant dream. Later, by chance, I had the opportunity to go to school in Lanzhou, so I could get close to Lanzhou and touch the temperature of this inland city in Northwest China.
To add up the time to go to school and work in Lanzhou, I have been living in Lanzhou for seven years, during which time I have traveled to every district of Lanzhou, Lanzhou City, almost all of the tourist attractions, Lanzhou's familiarity with the should be stronger than a lot of Lanzhou locals. Lanzhou gave me the first impression that it is a very inclusive city, to be precise, is a migrant city, residents from the west side of the country, a large influx of people from the north and the south, and a long time to live in Lanzhou integration, so that the city of Lanzhou both north and south of the city, there is a delicate side of the south, there is also a rough side of the north.
A river (Yellow River), a book (Reader), a bowl of noodles (Beef Noodle), a bridge (Zhongshan Bridge) and a drama (Silk Road Flower Rain) are the city cards of Lanzhou, and many outsiders who know Lanzhou know Lanzhou from its city cards. Other than that, the outside world's impression of Lanzhou is a blur. Backwardness, desert and camels are the stereotypes of most of the many outsiders I've contacted about Lanzhou. Rightly so, many of the city's prejudices can't be dissociated from its economy. Lanzhou, once the country's economic star, has been developing lukewarmly and unsatisfactorily over the years, plummeting in the rankings of the country's provincial capitals and changing from a medium level to a backward one. I personally witnessed some of the city roads in Lanzhou is dug and dug, with children digging sand in the beach, subway line 1 built for many years before the opening of several city hand in jail, Lanzhou's development in a word is difficult to say. In my opinion, the human factor is the biggest obstacle to the development of the city.
The loess, the yellow sand, the Yellow River, are all inextricably linked to Lanzhou, and the need to dispel rumors is that the yellow sand weather in Lanzhou is now less and less, the Yellow River is basically clear in the winter and spring seasons. The biggest change in Lanzhou over the years is the weather, blue sky is more and more, which is rare in a city dominated by heavy industry. Lanzhou's most comfortable is the pleasant climate, winter without severe cold and summer without heat, especially in Lanzhou's summer, this year, one after another rain, so that Lanzhou into the summer program is a number of abortive, Lanzhou has also become one of the country's rare summer cities.
Over the years, I have been to many cities in China, the east, the central part of the varying degrees of life, Lanzhou has become my final destination, perhaps because of the parents can be close to the care of the old, perhaps tired of drifting outside the life. Because like to come together, Lanzhou left me the impression of roughly this.
Speaking of Lanzhou, I am also considered a Lanzhou person, and the influence of Lanzhou is always in the development. Although in the eyes of many people Lanzhou has many problems. But overall Lanzhou people still love this city, some people in Lanzhou always complain about a lot of problems but when you leave Lanzhou in a foreign land will miss the life in Lanzhou.
Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu Province, an important hub city in the five provinces of Northwest China, and it can be said that friends who come to Lanzhou are basically going to various places to travel or visit relatives. Once I asked one of my friends from abroad how do you feel about our city? How is the influence? He told me that although this city does not have the prosperity of the first and second tier cities, but the people in this city are still quite friendly and polite, unlike the people in the first and second tier cities who just focus on the interests. Really the fast pace of the first-tier cities pressurizes people and they are not as simple as the people here in Lanzhou. This is also the biggest feeling I have when I left Lanzhou and came to live in Lanzhou for two years!
In 2008, I came to Lanzhou, and now I have been here for eleven years, and I have a family, a wife and children, it's a good city, and I will have a sense of belonging if I slowly integrate, especially if I go on a business trip, I will always be in a hurry to finish my business, and I will hurry back to Lanzhou, and I will wish that the sky is more beautiful, and I will wish that all the people who are struggling in Lanzhou will be happy with what they have done.
This city is more and more like me, before we demand too much, think the development of a little slow, but said no development is a little radical. The city as long as you patiently and carefully taste, there are obvious changes, such as the sky blue climate is good, especially in the past few years the rain is also more, the hills gradually also green; no matter how hard, the subway through the north-south ring road through the south bypass also through the city; the city's appearance, although in a short period of time can not be a big change, but the streets are clean, and more and more seem exquisite. In fact, these changes may not be seen by outsiders, but we as a long-term living in the city of citizens, these are and the people closely related to some of the changes, I think it is more practical. First-tier cities look high, but really want to live there, that kind of life are in a hurry to struggle for life I can not accept.
Speaking of Lanzhou, my impression is still relatively deep, because it was the first time in my life to go out to the first city! 97 years that year, because after school, there was nothing to do to follow the same village neighbors went to Lanzhou, and since then began a long and slow working years. At that time, Lanzhou seemed so prosperous and beautiful to me (because I had never been to other big cities). Walking on Qingyang Road, I saw the skyscrapers next to Dongfanghong Square. As well as the city's red lights flashing at night, the feeling is simply too good! Every night after work always about the old folks together to go to the supermarket, do not buy things are happy (at that time, I think the city inside is too beautiful), walk along the Yellow River, look at the wire bridge, the daytime work of the tiredness instantly disappeared, feel life is still very good!
Of course, Lanzhou food is still a lot of, my favorite or noodles, like fried noodles, fried noodles and so on, to say that the deep impression of the Lanzhou Ramen, affordable, working people's favorite
Of course, the least favorite is the climate of Lanzhou, the feeling that the air is relatively dry, and occasionally there will be sandstorms, the scene is really scary, look at the sky of dust from the distance, really feel like the world! It really feels like the end of the world. However, it has been more than ten years since I left Lanzhou, and I think that kind of scene should be rare now!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, I miss the scenery there, I miss the old folks who are still struggling there, and I miss the "comrades in arms" who have worked there together, I don't know if you are all right.
I think there is a chance that I will go back to see the place where I once struggled, to find the feeling, to see the people who once!
First of all, my impression of Lanzhou is that in recent years the development of very fast, due to the support of the state in recent years he became the most important city in the northwest region. It has also become a transportation hub, the city's area is getting wider and wider, and the traffic flow is also getting bigger and bigger, the number of population is also getting bigger and bigger, and the number of skyscrapers that are slowly erected is also starting to be more and more, all of which are the signs of a city's development.
The second is that his transportation is very convenient, Lanzhou has now become one of the most important transportation hubs in the Northwest, whether it is deep into the Northwest, such as Xinjiang or deep into the Tibetan Plateau region have to go through this place, so it can be imagined that it as a transportation hub, his economy but also his transportation development is relatively fast, and very much a train, a train, a high-speed train, and a plane, all in one place. There are trains, trains, high-speed trains, airplanes, everything. The third is that Lanzhou people are very enthusiastic and bold, Lanzhou is in the northwest, Zhou people are very enthusiastic, is to go to travel, they will also come up with the best things to entertain you. And their character is also very generous, very open-minded, will not be catty, service attitude is also very good. The fourth is a deep history and culture, a long history, as the Silk Road through an important city, whether it is silk culture or ancient culture is very deep, such as the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, there are some murals are very famous, and is famous overseas.
Lanzhou is a lonely city, except for the Yellow River is yellow sand!
A river. A river. A city. A river, a city, a group of people!
In Lanzhou, everyone is drunk and laughing and crying late at night.
In Lanzhou, the streets are full of beef noodle restaurants, just like Paris is full of artists.
Some people say that I don't particularly like this city, but it just happens to be the place where I was born and grew up. But after leaving the city, I miss it.
In the morning, Lanzhou, like the rotating waterwheel, opens a brand new day. Lanzhou, a city of immigrants, carries the dreams of many young people, just like the water flow irrigation into the farmland, people with dreams of their own sweat irrigation is the hope of living in this city.
Zhongshan Bridge at dusk without the daytime weaving of tourists, more is the footsteps of pedestrians in a hurry, as if the buildings in the distance as if the paper cuts, the rapidly changing city carved more beautiful and deep. People who have worked hard all day and hurried home have been transformed by the light of the setting sun into a side profile, reminding one of a poem: "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people who look at the scenery look at you from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your window, and you decorate other people's dreams." This is Lanzhou, no scenery exists apart from life, each of us is the scenery of this city.
Lanzhou at night, there is a kind of temperament that makes many people linger. Lanzhou, this northwestern city, there is so a bold, so a domineering, there is so a rustic enthusiasm, in the night was infinitely enlarged, Lanzhou's night life can not be said to be not rich, happy to drink boxing shaking dice, unhappy drinking and listening to songs to think about life. This is the city's bosom, inclusive of all of us.
The mother river, every day is staged on the love of everything, some people here happy, and some people here sad. What changes is our life, what remains unchanged is this flowing Yellow River, like the warm palm of a mother, soothing the heart of every Lanzhou people.
