Chinese city sees vibrant night life

Lanzhou offers 'immersive' experience with food and music

Along the Yellow River, some fluorescent city lights shine when night falls and lovers of barbecue start looking for the next feast.

The river runs through Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China's Gansu province. Once dubbed China's "wild west" and nestled among mountains, Lanzhou has its charm. Special Hui food is found in stalls on the sidewalks of the river. Lanzhou serves as a bridge between the country's bustling east and its more remote west.
