PEI A FU

Apricot peel tea can be said to be the most representative drink in Lanzhou. There is only one such shop in Lanzhou. Its specialty is that it can make a deluxe version with apricot flesh. A cup of it in summer is especially refreshing and has a very natural taste. The downside is that the apricot flesh is a bit large, making it a bit difficult to suck up at the end of the meal.

The shop is so low-key. I looked for it along Dazhong Lane until I saw it when I was close to Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street! The apricot peel tea with apricot pulp is divine. It has a rich fruity aroma and a sweet and sour taste. It made me miss it for a long time! On the way back, I bought n packs of pre-made apricot peel tea at the dry goods market, but it didn’t taste like Afu’s! For this tea, Lanzhou is worth coming back!

You can see this small shop as you enter Dazhong Lane. Many people who want to buy apricot peel water are crowded at the door. This is my first time to drink apricot peel water. It is cool and sweet, with a little bitterness. It tastes very good. After that, I drink at least 3 or 4 cups of apricot peel water every day during my trip to the northwest. Haha. Some people say that drinking too much will cause sore throat, but I don’t feel that at all. A small cup is 3 yuan, delicious and not expensive!

It still tastes the same as before, worth tasting, a good choice!

Listen to advice! Don't go to Lanzhou in November... Because it's really fragrant 😭 Who knows!

During the day, I watched the Yellow River rushing, and the colored lights at night were full of atmosphere. Standing on the bridge and blowing the river breeze, I got the artistic conception of "Long River sunset" in one second. I also released Baita Mountain Park for free: just opposite the Yellow River Iron Bridge, you can climb to the top of the mountain in 10 minutes, overlooking the entire Lanzhou City and the panoramic view of the Yellow River. In November, the leaves fell and the sight was wider, the photo was huge, and the tickets were free! Gansu Provincial Museum: Be sure to rush! Make an appointment in the public account in advance, the treasure of the town hall "Ma Ta Feiyan" is really shocking, there are Silk Road relics and dinosaur fossils, the absolute value of 2 hours of shopping, free open Yellow River mother sculpture: Lanzhou city symbol, sculpture is particularly gentle, suitable for taking pictures with mother or girlfriend, Walking along the river, you can also enjoy the Yellow River style line, and punch in for free. Surrounding treasures (with few people and great scenery) Lanzhou ink Danxia: Danxia in November has fewer tourists. The red and yellow mountains are like ink paintings in the sun. There is no crowd to take pictures. It is a blockbuster feeling to take pictures. It is recommended to report a day trip or chartered car, about an hour's drive to Lanzhou Old Street: It feels super at night! Lanterns are hung all over the street, there are many small shops in the northwest, and you can also see the Qin-Qin performance. You can eat and drink. It is super comfortable to go shopping for free. 🍜 Food list: Food must be washed (with avoiding pits) Beef noodles (focus!) Authentic eating method: Be sure to go in the morning! Good beef noodle restaurant closes after 14:00 Order the code number: "two fine, put more spicy seeds, add meat and eggs double flight", noodles 7 yuan + meat 6 yuan / two, soup is clear and strong, spicy and not spicy recommended shops: Ma Ziyu Beef Noodles (Dazhong Lane Store), Lanzhou First Noodles (Inherited by four generations, Taste super positive) Specialty Hand-grabbed lamb: must eat horse mustache lamb (head office)! The lamb is soft and rotten, and it is absolutely eaten with salt and pepper. You can also look at the Yellow River Tower. The environment is superb. The snacks are set: Du Ji's sweets' gray beans and sweet dumplings, and then look back at the spicy bean skins (Xiguan Muta Lane Store), Hu's halal buns, each without stepping on thunder, the average price is about 10 yuan to eat a full drink: Afu's apricot skin water, sour and sweet, detoxifying, with beef noodles or lamb, it tastes like a thick version of sour plum soup.

Recommended area: Xiguan Shizi or Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street, downtown location, convenient for eating, lodging and transportation, away from the Yellow River Iron Bridge, Dazhong Lane is close to the price-performance choice: the average price of chain hotels is 150-200 yuan/night, and the high-end hotels are only 300-400 yuan, which is half cheaper than the peak season: When booking a hotel, ask if there is 24-hour hot water and heating. The heating in winter is super important! 💡 Practical Tips: 1. Lanzhou is about 1700 above sea level, not high, but pay attention to keep warm and don't catch a cold, drink more water in dry weather 2. Cash can bring a small amount, most of the urban areas can pay by WeChat, but small vendors may need cash 3. There are not many toilets, shopping malls and hotels can borrow, Don't panic 4. Take pictures and wear: wear earth color, red, blue clothes, and the Yellow River, Danxia super match, the film rate doubled in Lanzhou in November, there is no crowded crowd, only pure northwest style and authentic food, the price is really too high!
