has been away from Lanzhou for 7 years. I have long wanted to write an article about her, picking up and down, repeating it over and over again. I don’t know where to start or what to write. I obviously want to write something, but I don’t know how to start. If you think about it carefully, she is probably the softest part of my heart!

Lanzhou, known as Jincheng in ancient times, is the only provincial capital city that passes through the city. The vast Yellow River flows through the city, flowing out the roughness, heroism, atmosphere and delicateness of Lanzhou people.

In Lanzhou, a book, a bowl of noodles, a cup of milk, egg fermented glutinous rice

When it comes to Lanzhou, people will think of "Lanzhou ramen" at the same time. Whenever I talk to people, I will always argue and even say indignantly: In Lanzhou, there is no ramen, only beef noodle . For Lanzhou, beef noodles are not a simple bowl of noodles, but a way of life, and are more full of deep Lanzhou emotions. After a long time, I seem to have matured a lot and no longer argue with others. After all, after leaving Lanzhou, I found that the door signs I saw were basically "Authentic Lanzhou Beef Ramen"!

Lanzhou Beef Noodles

However, what I miss the most today is the steaming bowl of beef noodles, for nothing else, just for the attitude of "one clear, two white, three red, four green, five yellow"! The soup should be clear, the radish slices should be white, the chili oil should be red, the coriander and garlic sprouts should be green, and the noodles should be bright yellow; this attitude is to focus.

In Lanzhou, people prefer to call it Niu Da. At six o'clock in the morning, Lanzhou woke up from the fragrance of beef noodles. Look, the master stretched the noodles hard and the day of energy began in this bowl of noodles.

Still remember the famous CCTV host Li Xiuping wrote in an article: People’s sense of smell is closest to the memory center, and the memories of smell will immediately remind you of the scenes from many years ago. There is a smell of fragrance in the air, and Lanzhou people will smell it. It is like hearing an old song with many memories, which melts into it all at once!

A bowl of beef noodles

One thing I dare to be sure and sure is that the first thing that Lanzhou people who are wandering outside return to their hometown is to eat a bowl of authentic and authentic beef noodles. No refutation accepted! I empathize with me. I vaguely remember that every time I go back to Lanzhou, the first thing I do when I get off the train or plane was to give me a bowl of beef noodles and have a luxurious set.

"Do you want a sprinkle?"

"Get a leek leaf, there is more spicy and more meat!"

After eating this bowl of beef noodles full of Lanzhou emotions, it was really exciting!

During the day, walk along the Yellow River, blow the breeze and drink a bowl of 3号 . When you walk near Zhongshan Bridge, you will find that many tourists gathered in front of the stone tablet of "The First Bridge of the Yellow River" scrambled to take pictures. There are many pedestrians on the bridge. Looking up, the white tower on the top of the mountain on the other side stands tall, as if you can hear the shock of the elephant drum, the pleasant sound of the bronze bell, and the swaying of the Bauhinia trees.

Inadvertently walked to the "Yellow River Mother" sculpture, and you will find that your impetuous mood immediately becomes calm. Look, my mother's hair is fluttering, her expression is kind, her body is long and symmetrical, her curves are graceful, she smiles slightly, she raises her head and bends her right arm, lying on her back on the waves, and leans against her right side, with a naked baby boy looking at her head slightly, and she smiles silly, looking naughty and cute. This composition symbolizes the endless Yellow River mother and the happy and happy descendants of China who are thriving. This is the Yellow River, the cradle that nurtured the Chinese nation.

Sheepskin Raft

"A thousand-year raft 100-year bridge, the first raft of the Yellow River in thousands of miles", walk along the Yellow River, you will also hear the greetings of the rafters, allowing you to experience the unique Yellow River raft , be a unique drifter on the Yellow River, and experience the ancient wisdom passed down from Lanzhou - the sheepskin raft.Sitting on raft , the yellow river water slowly flows eastward with a whirlpool, sometimes gentle and calm, sometimes turbulent, as if it was a dance on the top of the waves. At this time, you feel that the usually gentle Yellow River will also make you thrilling. Do you think that people are floating on the raft, water flows under your feet, and birds chant in the air, are they a different flavor?

Whether a city is energetic depends on the nightlife of this city and look at their attitude towards midnight snacks. I still remember Tang Dynasty Poet Wang Jian wrote in "Looking at Yangzhou City at Night": Thousands of lights shine on the blue clouds in the night market, and the tall buildings are full of red sleeves. Now it is not like the usual day, but I still hear the music and singing.

In Lanzhou, with the crowd at night, you will unconsciously enter the night market on Zhengning Road. Only at night can Zhengning Road be energetic. Foodies from all directions occupy the corners of Zhengning Road. There are long queues in front of each store. The dense foodies are absolutely unimaginable. Sweet and slightly intoxicating sweet embryos, spicy and delicate potato slices, milk egg fermented glutinous rice on the tip of the tongue...

Lanzhou, a pearl on the Yellow River. It has always exuded her unique charm. I miss Lanzhou, where there are lost youth and where there are beautiful memories!
