Are many people traveling to Lanzhou?

I am a person who has lived in Lanzhou for 27 years and now lives in Hainan. Let me answer this question. After reading many netizens’ replies, I won’t talk about the good points, but the shortcomings:

1. Lanzhou has a superior geographical location but its own conditions are not good. There is no development space between two mountains and a river. Land and cities have become expensive, and traffic is extremely congested.

2. Lanzhou is a multi-ethnic immigrant city. From the Silk Road to the third-tier construction, a large number of outsiders have settled here, and cultures are integrated here. It is particularly inclusive but has no cultural mainline. There was once a scholar who said that Lanzhou City has a hybrid culture. It seems derogatory but it is reality. Therefore, the old Lanzhou people are simple in their manners but talk in a harsh manner, and they never put their good intentions into words. With the process of reform and opening up and urbanization, a large number of people from other provinces have flocked to Lanzhou. The overall quality of the city has been lowered again, but it will take a long time to turn around the cultural environment.

3. The government’s inaction and lack of top-level design have caused economic decline. 30 years ago, Lanzhou was considered an industrial city in the country. What else will Lanzhou do after the market economy? Large companies have closed down one after another, and despite the superior resources and environment of the northwest, there is no manufacturing industry, but it has transformed into a commercial city that relies on commodity wholesale to make a living. The government has ruined a good hand. Lanzhou now ranks at the bottom among provincial capital cities in the country! ! !

The more I talk about it, the sadder it becomes. That’s the hometown where I grew up!

Now let’s talk about why tourists don’t stop in Lanzhou. Lanzhou does not have particularly high-quality tourism resources. You can see all the scenic spots in one day. The city does not have such a large reception capacity (traffic alone is enough), and there is no high-quality urban shopping and leisure travel plan (but there are many shopping malls). But will this situation change and get better with the opening of more third-tier airports inside and outside the province? Go bad? This is the test question for the current municipal government and all Lanzhou citizens.
