Fantastic 5.0
Driver followed our planned itinerary and brought us to clean rest stops throughout the trip. However, the journey was extremely tiring with long driving hours every day. The driver appeared to be unwell and was coughing throughout the trip, which affected the overall experience. We were also dropped at the wrong hotel on the last day and had to contact the driver to return and pick us up. Overall, the trip was completed as planned but the experience could have been better organised.

This was a small group tour using an SUV. The driver picked me up from my hotel and dropped me off at the hotel after the tour. The kind driver drove carefully and even helped with taking photos during the tour. The itinerary was well-planned, and I saw and experienced a lot. It was even more helpful that my travel companion assisted with communication in English. I'd like to thank them as well. The travel agency also managed the tour schedule kindly and appropriately. Thank you again for providing such a wonderful trip.

We were so lucky to have Mr. Zhang as our driver for this Hexi Corridor trip! First, I have to commend his driving skills. He drove incredibly smoothly the entire way, whether on highways or challenging roads, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. He was also incredibly patient and attentive, not only explaining the history and culture of the places we passed, which made the scenery outside the window come alive, but more importantly, he flexibly adjusted our itinerary based on our time and energy levels. This ensured we visited all the highlights without feeling overly tired. We saw the vibrant colors of the Rainbow Mountains (Qicai Danxia) and experienced the profound history of ancient ruins. The entire trip was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to the Northwest! Mr. Zhang, you definitely deserve a bonus!

This trip was very good. Both places were beautiful. The driver was skillful, careful, and very good company. It was a long day but we saw two spectacular and different landscapes that showcase the diversity of China

Great 4.0
The front desk and room managers were very welcoming and accommodating, helping us switch to a non-smoking room when we requested it. The room was quiet and comfortable, and the bed was very good for sleeping. The restaurant was decent, and the menu changed daily. The only minor drawback, in my opinion, was that the swimming pool was too crowded, making it impossible to swim and relax.

Fantastic 5.0
The hotel restaurant is on the 52nd floor and offers stunning city views. Louis, who checked us in at the front desk, was very friendly and kind, making our stay much more pleasant. The room was quiet and clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The only downside was that the pool was under renovation, so we missed the chance to experience it.

What to know before visiting Lanzhou

Discover Lanzhou’s travel rhythm and top experiences

Lanzhou draws most Klook bookings for tours and local experiences, with attractions and guided outings dominating visitor interest. Demand fluctuates through the year, so the city’s calendar alternates between lively peak periods and much quieter months.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

Klook data show October is the busiest month while March sees the lowest booking demand. Prices on Klook swing a lot across the year: they hit a high in February and fall to their lowest around March, so the most expensive and cheapest months are not the same as the busiest and quietest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for March; if you want peak-season atmosphere, target October. Note that prices and demand sometimes diverge here — for example February can be pricey even though it is not the absolute busiest booking month.

Tips for travellers

Most travellers book activities roughly three weeks before travel, with notable last-minute bookings possible about a week out. If you prefer flexibility you can book a few days ahead, but for peak-period travel in October it helps to plan and secure key tours earlier. Use Klook to compare available tours and lock in options once your dates are set.
