The Yellow River Iron Bridge, as one of the most famous photo-taking landmarks in Lanzhou, is not only one of the earliest steel bridges in China, but also the best viewing point for the Yellow River to pass through the city. Stroll along the Iron Bridge, feel the surging torrent of the Yellow River, and appreciate the unique industrial beauty of the bridge. It is definitely a great place for Lanzhou to blend urban and nature. Recommended tour routes: You can walk along the riverside road to near the iron bridge and walk slowly along the edge of the bridge to enjoy the magnificent view of the Yellow River and feel the sound of the water and the breeze. Both sides of the bridge are popular photo spots, especially the side near Baita Mountain, where you can go up the hill to see the panoramic view and take beautiful photos by the river. Recommended to come in the evening, the iron bridge and Yellow River under the sunset will be particularly beautiful, excellent photography effect. Must-play items and photo spots: 1. Central location of the iron bridge - remember to stand in the middle of the bridge for a while to feel the spectacular scene of the turbulent flow of the Yellow River. 2. Overlook under Baita Mountain - Behind the bridge is Baita Mountain, spend ten minutes walking up, overlooking the entire Yellow River Iron Bridge and Lanzhou City, the view is open and shocking. 3. Binhe Road Yogurt Shop Check-in - There are many authentic yogurt shops nearby, drink a cup of Lanzhou yogurt, fresh and thirst-quenching, and can take pictures to record the taste. Game Tips: 1. The Iron Bridge is open all day year round, no toll, morning and evening. However, it is recommended to avoid the weekend rush hour (10am to 4pm) to make it easier to take beautiful photos. 2. The water of the Yellow River is more turbulent in summer. Pay attention to safety when taking pictures. Pay attention to children when there are many people on the bridge. 3. Along the riverside road is also a good place to walk; want to experience authentic food, you can stop by the nearby to drink tea and watch the river or eat yogurt. 4. Remember to bring a hat or umbrella when the weather is hot. 5. After getting off the bridge you can go directly to Baita Mountain to visit, two or three hours can easily walk, suitable for the whole family and friends together.
