Lanshan Park (Santai Pavilion)
兰山公园（三台阁）
A hilltop park on Nanshan Mountain in Lanzhou at an elevation of about 2,100 metres. Santai Pavilion is the best spot for views of the whole city and the Yellow River valley.
Lanshan lies on the south side of the city, behind Wuquan Mountain. The summit is about 2,100 metres above sea level, roughly 600 metres above the urban area. Santai Pavilion on the top is Lanzhou's main viewpoint. From here you can see the long, narrow city stretching along the Yellow River. On clear days you can see White Pagoda Mountain and North Mountain in the distance. At night the city lights are spectacular. You can take the Lanshan cable car up from Wuquan Mountain, or drive or take a taxi up the winding mountain road. (Cable car operations are subject to announcements.) The summit is windy and colder than the city, so bring a jacket if you go up in the evening.
