If you are wondering if it's worth it is. I recommended giving it a shot. It was so beautiful, you are like in a real c-drama. I felt amazing. If I have another chance, I will definitely go again. 😍
It's a very photogenic place, but it's not very big. You can finish the tour in a short while, and two hours is enough to watch the show. Generally speaking, you can come and have a look, but don't be too special. For girls, it is recommended that they wear Tang suits and Hanfu when they go shopping.

It’s such a wonderful trip. Easy communication. This place is so beautiful and is a must visit when you’re in Lanzhou.
The VIP ticket was incredibly emotionally rewarding! The 3.5-kilometer hike from Nuwa Relics to Danxia Scenic Area took half an hour, and I was saved by the Three Forts in the rest area (the mountaintop prices were even cheaper than in downtown Lanzhou, which really made me cry! 😭)
It rained lightly this morning, so I started my tour at noon. The colors were perfectly dampened by the rain, and the cloudy day gave it an ink painting-like feel. This truly is Lanzhou's most famous attraction, and the ticket price is incredibly worth it! 😍

There weren't many tourists, and the two museums were excellent, highly recommended. The ruins park only has some rammed earth platforms left, so it's worth a quick tour. If you're going to visit the ruins park, you absolutely have to buy a tour bus; it's so large you'll either tire yourself out or get sunburned. I recommend standing on the Hanyuan Temple ruins to experience the world's center, roughly 1,300 to 1,000 years ago, right under your feet. It feels like a dialogue between time and space!
The overall feeling is one of amazement and regret. Our great China was once so magnificent. One can imagine the scene of all nations coming to pay tribute. After the war, only devastation is left. What a sight it would be if it had remained to this day!

Bringing children to experience the Eternal Love has a unique artistic conception. Every scene is very shocking. The scenes in the text are interpreted realistically. The actors are emotional and vivid. The most touching thing is that when immersed in the situational drama, even the horses are very cooperative. Next time I will bring my parents to experience it together
The performance content is really eye-catching, and the live performance is also very exciting. It is worth seeing the performance. There are many small performances in the scenic area, and my father-in-law is very good.

The first eight days of our nine-day trip went perfectly as planned. Whether it was Mount Taibai, Mount Kongtong, the Zhou Family Compound, or the Temple of Zhougong, it was the Forest of Steles in Xi'an that left me with regret! The sheer number of exhibits, the stunning artifacts, and the captivating charm of the texts were all so captivating that even without the guide, it took a full two and a half hours. It was a shame to leave, but I'll definitely return to Xi'an for the Forest of Steles!

Recommendation:
If you're in Xi'an, this is a must-see for the stunning visual and auditory feast of Qin culture. If you prefer a nuanced narrative, focus on the dance parts.
A must-see show in Xi'an, with convenient transportation, large parking lot, and great views. Come early to check in and see cultural and creative products! The environment is good, the service is also very good, and there are coffee and snacks!

I thought they were Ctrip's tour guides, looking for flags at the visitor center, but they turned out to be official museum staff. The Xi'an Museum and the Shaanxi History Museum have a lot of overlap, and I visited both venues. They saw the same things, like gold cakes, golden dragons, and terracotta figurines buried with Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth-generation grandson. I felt the explanations here were more detailed. I especially enjoyed Professor Li's introduction to the current value of various cultural relics; it was very unique.
The Xi’an Museum is a compact yet rich cultural spot that combines history, art, and architecture. Located next to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, it offers a calm and less crowded experience compared to other Xi’an attractions. The exhibitions showcase relics from the Tang dynasty, ancient ceramics, Buddhist statues, and city history, giving visitors a solid introduction to Xi’an’s long heritage. The museum is well-organized, free to enter (with ID), and surrounded by peaceful gardens that make it a pleasant place to stroll. It’s not overwhelming in size, making it easy to explore within 1–2 hours—perfect for anyone looking to balance sightseeing with a more relaxed cultural visit.

Gao Family Mansion is a beautifully preserved traditional courtyard house located right in the heart of Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter. Once home to a wealthy merchant family during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it showcases elegant architecture, intricate wood carvings, and period furniture that give a glimpse into old Xi’an life. The highlight is often the shadow puppet performance held in one of the courtyards—an atmospheric way to experience local culture. Although not very large, it’s a quiet escape from the busy food street outside and worth a short visit if you enjoy history, architecture, and traditional arts.
• 9:00-9:30: Open the door and enter the courtyard. First, touch the imperial plaque "Bangyan Jidi" and take an empty photo without anyone around.
• 9:30-11:30: From the Yingzi Hall (guest reception) and Ningrui Hall (waiting area for female relatives) in the front courtyard, to the central hall (master bedroom + Wenbao Pavilion treasure room) and the study room fire bed (where imperial examination masters study at night) in the middle courtyard, to the private school, ancestral hall, and young lady's boudoir in the backyard, explore the three courtyards of the building.
• 11:30-12:00: Go to the Dafeng Tang stage to watch the Huayin Laoqiang performance.

After a decade, returning to the Gansu Provincial Museum's exhibition halls, the familiar weight of history was tinged with a refreshing surprise. The excitement of reunion intensified as I witnessed the transformation of the exhibition layout and exhibits.
The Gansu Provincial Museum's exhibition layout is most clearly "scientific," far more than a simple display of artifacts. Focusing on "Yellow River Culture," it weaves together prehistoric civilization, Silk Road trade, and the intermingling of multiple ethnic groups into a clear thread. From the juxtaposition of painted pottery and agricultural tools from the Dadiwan site, you can directly witness the transition from slash-and-burn agriculture to pottery cooking. In the Silk Road exhibition hall, Hu merchant figurines unearthed from the Hexi Corridor, Persian silver coins, and Central Plains silk are brought together in a single narrative space, instantly capturing the vibrant commercial scene of "camel bells ringing across Europe and Asia." Even more thoughtfully, each exhibition area is accompanied by lightweight text explanations and multimedia videos, avoiding academic obscurity while also preventing history from being reduced to "picture-based object identification." Even children can follow the clues and understand the stories behind the artifacts. If the exhibition layout is the "skeleton," the exhibits are the living, breathing "flesh and blood" of Gansu's museum. Its richness lies in its collection of unique national treasures. Besides the well-known "Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow" (a bronze galloping horse), there's also China's largest "Bronze Chariot and Horse Guard of Honor," featuring 38 bronze horses, one axe cart, and four chariots neatly arranged, as if ready to carry Han Dynasty soldiers on the Silk Road. The "Human Face and Newt Painted Pottery Vase" from the Yangshao culture, with its eerie yet vibrant human face and newt motifs, is a rare relic of the spiritual world of prehistoric ancestors. Furthermore, manuscripts and Tangut Buddhist scriptures unearthed from the Dunhuang Caves quietly speak of Gansu's unique status as a treasure trove of literature. These exhibits are more than just artifacts; they are a condensed, tangible, and comprehensive history of Gansu.
Compared to many museums, Gansu's uniqueness lies in its irreplaceable "regional DNA." Rather than pursuing comprehensiveness, the museum culminates in the quintessential characteristics of the "Upper Yellow River Civilization" and the "Golden Section of the Silk Road." While other museums may exhibit painted pottery, few offer the complete sequence of painted pottery from the Dadiwan, Majiayao, and Qijia cultures, allowing you to clearly see how painted pottery evolved from simplicity to sophistication. While other museums can tell the story of the Silk Road, the museum's exhibits primarily draw from local sites. From the bronze galloping horse from the Leitai Han Tomb to the statues from Bingling Temple, each piece exudes the essence of Gansu's soil, creating a sense of distance. Even more remarkable is its lack of deliberate attempts to create a sense of distance. For example, the "Bronze Galloping Horse" exhibit features multi-angle viewing platforms, allowing you to clearly see the exquisite balance of the horse's feet on the flying swallow. These details, which make national treasures approachable, are precisely what makes the museum so captivating.
Ten years later, the Gansu Provincial Museum has not been confined to the "memories of the old museum," but has brought history to life with more scientific exhibition arrangements, more vibrant exhibits, and a more unique regional expression. Revisiting this place is not only a reunion with the past, but also a dialogue with a Gansu that is both "familiar and fresh," spanning millennia.
It's worth a visit, but it was so crowded I couldn't even see the bronze galloping horse. It was packed inside and outside. It's best not to go during the summer. 😂
Also, there's a shop near the entrance with Green Code and his friends, which is quite interesting and a great place to take photos.
