Things to do in Lanzhou

Just got back from an amazing trip to the wild open spaces! ⛰️ From the initial itinerary selection and route planning to last-minute adjustments, the customer service team was always in touch, providing helpful answers and solutions. The local driver and guide were also fantastic, showing us all the best sights, tastes, and experiences. I'll definitely be back! [Thumbs up emoji]

Gansu is an underrated place. Pingshan canyon rivals that of GRAND canyon. The In-depth tour is an amazing experience. Mingsha mountain is definitely unforgettable. The grottos paint a breath taking, rich history that is captivating. Driver/ guide Xiao Cao was very experienced and responsible in arranging everything!

I'd like to extend a special thanks to our driver and guide, Zhang Tao (小张), for our 6-day, 5-night trip through the Hexi Corridor. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and he drove safely. He was very patient and considerate towards my parents. We often ran over schedule when taking photos, and he was always accommodating, sometimes even missing his own meal or rest breaks as a result, but he never complained. He was truly thoughtful and I highly recommend him!

My long-awaited trip to Tenkawa Village was amazing! The snow-covered Tenkawa Shrine and Tenkawa Village were truly beautiful. Unfortunately, due to icy roads and safety concerns, we couldn't continue to the hot spring town and Menfudo Limestone Cave. The tour guide took us to Asuka Village instead, which was a pleasant surprise. I'll definitely come back another time, in a different season.

Very well organized day trip to Bingling. (I hsd to rate a guide, but this was without one.) We don't speak Chinese, but there was someone to translate. It could help if the driver had some sentences ready, such as "30 minutes here". Overall it was an easy enough day, although I think that another 30 minutes at Bingling would be better. We felt rushed to get back on the boat. Also, the back seat of the van was back-breaking for me.

driver was very helpful even with agency group chat support from their team members, a trip with no guide and joined-in Chinese speaking group was also a good experience with new friends. Great site visiting and another good experience.
