中山桥

Zhongshan Bridge, "the No. 1 bridge on the Yellow River in the world", was built in 1907 by the German Tellai Company and designed by an American company. It was completed in 1909. In 1928, it was renamed Zhongshan Bridge in commemoration of Sun Yat-sen. In 2004, it was changed to a pedestrian bridge. Take Exit D of Xiguan Station of Metro Line 1 and walk about 600 meters to get there.

白塔山公园

Baita Mountain is adjacent to the north bank of the Yellow River, with temples, courtyards, mountain roads and urban viewing spots superimposed above the Zhongshan Bridge. Climbing up can intuitively understand Lanzhou's restricted geography: the city stretches along the river, and dry mountains approach from both sides. Historic buildings are important, but observing bridges, mesas, and urban expansion as the altitude changes is the core experience.

兰州水车博览园

The Waterwheel Expo Park displays the large wooden waterwheel that was used to lift water from the Yellow River to the shore for irrigation canals. Restoration Machinery illustrates how water flow, blades, flumes, and gravity work together to support farmland and urban settlements in arid environments. See it as a practical water conservancy technology rather than a decorative riverfront landscape to understand its true value.
