Jincheng Pass is on the north bank of the Yellow River, west of White Pagoda Mountain. In ancient times it was the pass where people crossed the Yellow River northward from Lanzhou. Today it is the Jinchengguan Cultural Expo Park. The historic-style buildings are built into the hillside, and they house displays of intangible cultural heritage, including carved gourds and Lanzhou Taiping drums. On the western slope is the Lanzhou Stele Forest, which displays calligraphy and inscriptions from successive dynasties, and Caosheng Pavilion offers a view over the Yellow River. Most areas are free to visit, and some exhibition halls are subject to the situation on site. It is about a 15-minute walk west from Zhongshan Bridge across the river, and it can be combined with White Pagoda Mountain Park.
