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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

General info
What to know before visiting Lanzhou
What to do in Lanzhou throughout the year
Lanzhou shows up on Klook mainly for Tours, so this city is best experienced through guided outings that explore local sights and culture across the year. Demand on Klook follows a clear rhythm: October is a busiest month while March and December are noticeably quieter. Use those patterns to decide whether you want lively streets and full itineraries or a calmer visit. Based on Klook booking data, travellers balancing crowds and atmosphere often pick the busier autumn months for energy and the very quiet spring month for space. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or quieter flexibility.
Based on Klook booking data.
When to visit and how prices move
October stands out as the peak booking month on Klook, with demand about 39% above a typical month, while March is the trough at roughly 67% below a usual month. Prices vary through the year: the median paid on Klook drifts low in March and December but spikes in February — the priciest single month. That means March and December typically give smaller crowds and lower median prices, while October delivers the busiest atmosphere even if median prices are not the highest. For fewer people and lower typical costs, aim for March; for peak energy, aim for October.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | MYR 118 |
| February | Quieter than usual | MYR 2753 |
| March | Very quiet | MYR 109 |
| April | About average | MYR 118 |
| May | Quieter than usual | MYR 158 |
| June | Busier than usual | MYR 239 |
| July | Busier than usual | MYR 333 |
| August | Busier than usual | MYR 2,137 |
| September | About average | MYR 337 |
| October | Busier than usual | MYR 227 |
| November | Busier than usual | MYR 231 |
| December | Very quiet | MYR 118 |
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 Malaysia
Most travellers book their Lanzhou experiences with some planning: about 22 days ahead is typical, and the earliest planners lock things in roughly 34 days out. That means you can usually keep some flexibility, but for October and other busier months it's wise to book earlier to secure preferred tours. Klook booking data shows last-minute bookings are possible within 7 days, but availability narrows in peak periods. Use Klook to compare tour options and secure slots ahead of busier months so your preferred dates and times stay available.
