兰州城隍庙

One thing cool about this place is you can watch crafts people creating their handicrafts. I do wish I had visited before the last day of my stay in Lanzhou, as I would have loved to have one of the caligraphers paint a Chinese proverb or Mao poem on that beautiful golden rice paper. I am not one to buy random souvenirs, otherwise I would have just purchased an already painted scroll. So, I recommend heading here with a favorite literary piece to have painted by the artisan calligrapher, that way you know you're purchasing something meaningful and nit just an article from the newspaper (that's what one calligrapher was working from).My Chinese professor was able to bargain for a real jade bracelet, but warned students not to purchase jade unless they knew how to identify real from fake. Also, if you want Chinese paintings or reprints, I'd suggest doing your homework on local artists, as they all seemed to have books and magazines on hand that featured them as "top artists." Lastly, good luck bargaining if you are a Westerner. If you have a local with you, the vendors will drop 1000RMB to 100, easy. But as westerners without our Chinese guides, we found it impossible to get any worthwhile bargaining. Oh also, a little girl tried to pick pocket my friend. She reached her hand into his front pocket and when he turned around, she ran to the lap of one of the vendors. We assume dad instructed her to do this. So, keep your hand on your wallet and your handbags zipped and in front of you.

这里能见到一些兰州独特的文化 比如雕葫芦 黄河奇石等等 对于大多数人来还是比较有意思的地方 个人觉得和兰州大多数的公园相比这里还是值得一去的 淘些小玩意给自己和朋友 还挺不错 地方不大 不需要安排较多的时间 旁边有2条还比较有名的小吃街 能吃到当地的特色小吃 牛肉面 烤羊肉 灰豆子 酿皮 等等 味道都很好 对于我来说 去一个地方 最吸引我的莫过于吃了

在张掖路步行街上，是老城区的标志性建筑，就是有点不起眼，需要从张掖路上拐一个弯才能看到，而且不仔细看不容易分辨出这是一个城隍庙，没有很显眼的招牌，只有左右两侧的两幅大年画具有代表性。很少有人进去观看了，都是在外面逛逛街。周边的小吃很多，可以挑一些尝尝。

有事没事经常去城隍庙逛逛，感觉那里文化气息浓重，并且可以增长见识，家中若有闲置古董，还可以拿去买卖，跟上海的城隍庙挺相似的。

兰州自古以来就是避暑胜地，更是瓜果之城，尤其到7.8月份那更是吃不完的瓜果，还有那黄河边，晚上到这遛弯的人络绎不绝，现在正举办国际马拉松赛，一切都美得不得了，开放的兰州欢迎你。

#丝绸之路# 大众巷出来向东走就是兰州城隍庙，这里很像北京的琉璃厂，古玩玉器，玲琅满目，我这样的外行自然是去看热闹的

i was really impressed by this place, there are so many craftsmen and you can get to many souvenir and gifts typically chinese, you can négotiate the prices , the sellers are so kind. avoid the store just front of the entrance (outside) it's so expensive, try the small stalls inside.

兰州城隍庙就在张掖路步行街的中间位置，是一座宋代建筑，是供奉汉代将军纪信的。里面不大，用不了一会就可以逛完，之后还可以逛逛步行街，吃点儿小吃。

We took in the afternoon show and were thoroughly impressed. Mike enjoys what he's doing and it shows. The show is one of the best that you can see in Branson and we'll see him again if we're back in town. Anyone what tries to steer you away from his show is doing you a disservice. DON'T LET THEM DO IT! Most likely they're doing it because they make more by selling you tickets to whom they are pushing. See Mike Walker MTH. You'll be glad you did.Jim Jowski
