A wild ride in a taxi whisked me along a winding road to the top of Lanshan (Lan Mountain- mentioned in the famous Pere-X videos).
From this elevated spot there is a wide (but hazy) view of the city.

After descending the mountain, I was able to sample the city’s signature dish: Lanzhou beef noodles! I truly love this dish, and yearn for it. I guess a return trip to Lanzhou is in my future!
