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.

I had a really wonderful day. The landscape is extraordinary, the driver was efficient and lovely and the other guests were fun! I had a bit of trouble working out where I would be picked up because the booking app was unclear but once they let me know that they would pick me up at my hotel everything went very smoothly.

Five-star review! This trip to Gannan exceeded expectations. The itinerary was well-paced, providing ample time to slowly explore Labrang Monastery, listen to the explanations, and learn about Tibetan Buddhism and local customs. The tour leader and driver were very familiar with the area, thoughtfully reminding us of monastery etiquette and high-altitude precautions, and even recommended local specialties so we got to try authentic tsampa. The entire trip was sightseeing-focused with no shopping stops and no hidden fees. Along the way, taking in the grasslands and ancient monasteries while experiencing Gannan's unique tranquility and healing atmosphere made the journey very reassuring. I've already recommended this to my friends, and I'll choose this agency again next time I visit Gannan!

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

My friend and I traveled around Gansu and Qinghai by hiring a car with a driver through Klook. Everything was well-organized. Driver Liu was very kind, attentive, and had great driving skills. Highly recommended.

amazing views and itinerary. hotels planned were good too. guide (曹师傅）was caring and ensured that we were taken cared of, he had to drive very far between places because this itinerary covers a lot in 5 days. would recommend this tour for those who want to cover the silk road with a personal guide!

our 6-day luxury tour is really a memorable one. 5-star accomodations, convenient locations, excellent hospitality and wonderful experience. Throughout the 6 days, we had a private driver, also our trip manager Ms. Fei-er, a capable lady who is knowledable, professional and understanding. She planned everthing well that made this route which supposed to be tiring, became more relaxing and enjoyable. Although the package did not cover most of the meals (except for the standard hotel breakfast), she made nice recommendations on food as well. cheap price, local taste, delicious food.

What to know before visiting Lanzhou
What to expect in Lanzhou
Lanzhou draws most bookings for Tours, and Klook booking data shows visitation follows a clear annual rhythm. The busiest period clusters in October when demand peaks, while March and December are noticeably quieter. With Tours leading the way, travellers typically plan activities around these seasonal swings — cultural and landscape tours are the dominant things to do through the year. Use the city’s demand pattern to choose between a lively, festival-season feel or a calmer, less crowded visit; pick your timing based on whether you prefer bustle or breathing room. Based on Klook booking data.
When to visit Lanzhou
October is the busiest month, with demand rising above a typical month, while March is the quietest, well below normal. Prices over the last 12 months generally fluctuate: the typical price spikes in February and falls to its lowest in March, so there are months where lower prices and lower demand align and others where they diverge. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for March or April; if you want the most atmosphere, plan for October when demand is highest.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | AUD 43 |
| February | Quieter than usual | AUD 1,014 |
| March | Very quiet | AUD 40 |
| April | About average | AUD 43 |
| May | Quieter than usual | AUD 58 |
| June | Busier than usual | AUD 88 |
| July | Busier than usual | AUD 122 |
| August | Busier than usual | AUD 787 |
| September | About average | AUD 124 |
| October | Busier than usual | AUD 84 |
| November | Busier than usual | AUD 85 |
| December | Very quiet | AUD 43 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers book well ahead — typically around three weeks ahead and the earliest planners about five weeks out — so treat Lanzhou as a trip to plan rather than one to leave to the last minute. Peak months such as October benefit from earlier booking to secure preferred tours and times. If you favour flexibility, last-minute options still exist for many tours up to 7 days before departure. Book experiences on Klook with confidence: check typical timings and prices, reserve the tours you want in busier months, and use the platform to compare options and lock in your spot.
