Lanzhou Hyatt is crazy!! You can enjoy the unbeatable night view at 20 per person. It is located in the lobby bar of Hyatt Hotel. There is a 9.9 cocktail promotion recently. I ordered a full-priced martini for about 60. After 6 o'clock, the small cake is half price. The original price of the small cake is more than 30. After the cake, it is more than ten yuan. It is very delicious!!! The scenery is facing the Atour Building. It is very beautiful for taking pictures. The environment is quiet and there are many locations. The lighting is also very good for taking pictures in other locations. The waiters are very nice. It is really worth a visit. All the prices are cheaper than some bars outside. It is considered the best hotel in Lanzhou. Buffet needs to be booked in advance. The night view is really amazing. The bar and the location are completely invisible, so there is no need to worry about embarrassing photos. The room rate is also very cost-effective. It is only over 500 on New Year's Eve. It should be much cheaper on normal days. It is recommended that those who come to Lanzhou consider staying here #Lanzhou Travel #Lanzhou Tourism Guide #Northwest Travel Guide #Lanzhou Day Tour #Lanzhou Store Exploration
