Lanzhou
The first major city situated on the Yellow River, Lanzhou has been the key transport link between the heartlands of China and China's North-West for centuries. Flowing through the centre of the city, the Yellow River is home to Lanzhou's main attractions, the Iron Bridge and the ancient Water Mill. Before the introduction of the Iron Bridge in 1904, locals and travellers had to create a bridge by chaining together flotillas of boats.
The main attraction of Gansu, this Provincial Museum showcases painted pottery, wooden artifacts, bronze statues and a beguiling 4000 year old Greco-Roman silver plate.
Situated on the Yellow River's northern bank, White Pagoda Hill, as the name suggests, has a White Pagoda Temple at its peak and offers great views of Lanzhou city.
