Wuqian Mountain Park

Located in the northern foothills of Gaolan Mountain in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, it is named after the five springs of Huiquan, Ganlu Spring, Juyue Spring, Mozi Spring, and Meng Spring. The ancient buildings in the park were built in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, Mr. Liu Erxin, a famous Confucian scholar in modern Lanzhou, raised funds to repair the original dilapidated buildings. The park's attractions are mainly five famous springs and ancient Buddhist buildings, including more than ten ancient buildings such as Chongqing Temple, Qianfo Pavilion, Mani Temple, Dizang Temple, Sanjiao Temple, Banyue Pavilion, Jianqiao, and Zhongshan Hall since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with more than 1,000 rooms. In Wuqian Park, you can not only enjoy ancient buildings but also climb to the top of the mountain. You can see Lanzhou City from Wuqian and Lanshan Mountain, which not only meets the needs of sightseeing but also fully exercises your body. Compared with Lanshan Park, I recommend Wuqian Mountain Park. There are many cultural landscapes, and you will gain more from the tour without getting tired. Climb to the West Bus Station Cross, walk to the gate of Wuqian Mountain Park, climb to the top of the mountain, walk along the walking path to the second pavilion, and then take bus 750 down the mountain to Andingmen. The amount of exercise in a day is just right. If you want to see the night view of Lanzhou at the top of Lanshan Mountain at night, you can continue to climb the mountain.
