    Baitashan Park is free. At night, I look across the Yellow River. The lights are very beautiful. The pavilion on the other side looks particularly beautiful on the mountain, which is more beautiful than during the day. The temperature at night is higher than the bottom of the day and you need to wear more coats.

    The night cruise on the Yellow River was fantastic! The Zhongshan Bridge was beautifully lit, and the evening breeze was soothing. The 40-minute cruise was just right, and I recommend choosing the second deck for the fantastic views. Booking tickets on Ctrip was convenient, and the pier was easy to find. The boat crossing Zhongshan Bridge was incredibly photogenic, and the night view of Baita Mountain was magnificent. It's definitely worth the trip! The Yellow River at night takes on a whole new charm, with the lights on both sides ablaze. Enjoying the scenery while feeling the river breeze was a great value. I'll definitely come again. Sitting on the first floor wasn't cold, and the night view was very pleasant. I was able to capture photos of both Zhongshan Bridge and the Yellow River Mother Statue. I was very satisfied! The night cruise exceeded my expectations! The bridge and mountains were beautifully illuminated by the lights. There were also guides on board, and photos were free. If you'd like, take them for 30 yuan each.

    Zhongshan Bridge, a must-see attraction in Lanzhou, is incredibly popular. Arriving around 8 p.m., the bridge was already illuminated, its lights constantly changing colors, a breathtaking spectacle. People walked across the bridge, some leaving beautiful silhouettes behind, while others quietly admired the scenery. Nighttime boat tours are also available near the bridge, and everyone's face was filled with smiles, eager to capture this moment forever.

    The scenery was so beautiful that we kept taking photos and lost track of time. Around 6 pm, we got off at the "Daydream Cinema," but there were no more buses or minibuses, and no staff members were around. No one had reminded us of the last shuttle bus time, so the two of us had to walk to the visitor center, about 4.5 kilometers away. The wind was strong, the temperature was -1.5 degrees Celsius, and it got dark quickly. The further we walked, the more scared we became. We tried calling the scenic area, but no one answered. Finally, we called 110 (the police emergency number) and asked them to contact the scenic area staff. After hanging up, a Li Auto electric scooter passed by, and the driver stopped and readily gave us a ride to the parking lot. We chatted along the way, and the driver said he was from the Space Capsule Hotel. His surname was Wang; he was probably the owner or manager. We were extremely grateful to him and will definitely stay there again next time! The first photo was taken on the way to the visitor center.

    The number of visitors was absolutely enormous; you were basically just being pushed around by the crowd. I saw the Flying Horse of Gansu and the Little Girl with the Curtain-like Hairpin. There weren't many exhibits inside; pottery made up a large portion. Overall, it was alright. I hired a guided tour, so at least I didn't just wander around aimlessly.

    It was the first time I took the elderly to Lanzhou. I felt the convenience of the service. The volunteers provided wheelchairs. I saw the golden python shedding its skin, the strange jellyfish 🪼 and the mysterious underwater world. It was a very good tour experience!

    The desert is also a witness to history. Ancient caravans once left their mark on this land, leaving behind the sound of camel bells. Here, the exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations quietly took place. The ruins of ancient cities, half-buried by the wind and sand, silently tell of past glories and declines, inspiring a reverie, as if one can hear the echoes of history resonating in the vast desert. Every desert journey is a spiritual revelation. Here, people learn to revere nature, understand the fragility and resilience of life, and cherish everything they encounter. The desert, in its own unique way, teaches us resilience, optimism, and hope. In this seemingly desolate land, life, in its most primitive form, displays its indomitable strength, reminding us that no matter how harsh the environment, life can always flourish, and hope always awaits. The desert, this mysterious and enchanting land, with its endless winds and sands, brilliant starry skies, tenacious life, and rich historical stories, attracts countless travelers to explore and find their own personal touch. Here, everyone can find their own answers about life, courage and dreams.
