Check out Lanzhou because it is more than noodles

Shops selling Lanzhou lamian (hand-pulled noodle), named after the capital city of Gansu province, are there in most cities in China.

On Feb 28, a promotional event sponsored by Lanzhou municipal government was held in Beijing, where the authorities introduced 23 key cultural tourist attractions.
