Xinjiang and Lanzhou are located in northwest China and are two different tourist destinations that are usually not planned as part of the same tourist route. Xinjiang is an autonomous region in China with vast land and rich natural landscapes such as Tianshan Mountain and Kanas Lake; while Lanzhou is the capital city of Gansu Province, with the Yellow River flowing through it, boasting unique Yellow River culture and cuisine. If you plan to visit these two places, you can plan different itineraries separately.?
For Xinjiang, you can plan a tourist route including Tianshan Heavenly Lake, Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, and other places to experience the magnificent natural scenery and diverse culture of Xinjiang. For example, you can start from Urumqi, head to Heavenly Lake to appreciate the beauty of the plateau lake, then proceed to Turpan to explore ancient vineyards and ancient city sites, next go to Kanas Lake to experience the mysterious legend of the lake monster, and finally arrive at Sayram Lake to enjoy the lake and mountain scenery.?
For Lanzhou, you can visit Zhongshan Bridge, the pearl on the Yellow River, to feel the charm of Yellow River culture, then head to Baita Mountain Park to overlook the panoramic view of Lanzhou City, and subsequently visit Gansu Provincial Museum to understand the history and culture of the Silk Road. In the evening, you can also stroll along Jianlan Road Pedestrian Street to taste local cuisine.?
Due to the large distance between Xinjiang and Lanzhou, as well as their unique tourism resources and cultural characteristics, it is recommended to plan itineraries separately in order to better experience the charm of each place.?
