Where we are ?

       The city of Lanzhou, where LZU is located, stands at the very heart of China as the pivotal point on the ancient Silk Road, with the fertile valley of Yellow River where Chinese civilization was nurtured.

        Due to its geographical positions, Lanzhou boasts a fabulous riverside sightseeing and a mixed style of dishes, especially its Beef Noodles enjoying a worldwide fame.

       Fascinating tourist spots in other cities of Gansu can easily be explored by day trips from Lanzhou. Thanks to its diverse climates and landscapes, natural sceneries can be found in Gansu including grassland, gobi desert, glaciers, snow mountains, Danxia landform, canyons and Karst caves. 

       It also enjoys rich culture heritage, covering Silk Road Culture, Yellow River Culture, the Great Wall Culture, and Ancestral Culture. In 2018 Gansu Province was listed by Lonely Planet as the first of “top 10 best places to visit in Asia”.
