The westernmost 985 university in China is inaccessible due to the epidemic, so it gets a bad review!
Passing by, I couldn't go in to visit due to the epidemic, it's a pity
The 985 university in Gansu Province is worth a visit, but the campus planning is relatively messy and does not leave a particularly deep impression.
I came here for the exam, after all, this is not a tourist area,
Lanzhou University, the business card of the Northwest region, is a 985 university with strong strength.
I went to Lanzhou after the Spring Festival, and my destination was Xining. To save money, I flew to Lanzhou first, and then took a train to Xining. I had a free day in between, so I went to visit Lanzhou University, which was not in session at that time. I walked around the school with my friends, took photos, and then went to eat Lanzhou beef noodles and watch a movie. It was a perfect day.
There are two campuses. One is on Panxuan Road, which is the old campus. The other is in Yuzhong, don’t go there, it’s too far.
It is a university with history and stories (haha, because it is very old).
After eating beef noodles, I went to take a look and walk to digest the food. Because I am a law student, I couldn't help rubbing my hands when I saw Fazheng Road. Emmmm, I won't tell you what school I am from, anyway, I think other schools are so big when I look at other schools (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)
Lanzhou University is the highest-level university in Lanzhou. There is a Dingding bus at the entrance, a tourist bus, which can connect many scenic spots in Lanzhou. The ticket price is also quite affordable. After visiting Lanzhou University, you can take the bus and walk while watching. It's nice
It is hard to imagine that a university campus ranked among the top 30 in the country is so simple
Lanzhou University is a place worth visiting. It is a small campus with a beautiful night. Young hormones are the meaning of my every trip.
Lanzhou University in the city is a graduate school. I didn’t go to the undergraduate school which is relatively remote. When I went to Lanzhou University, I felt that all the flowers, plants and trees in Lanzhou were planted here.
The plaque is huge and imposing. I heard that this is where graduate students study and undergraduates study. I'm afraid this is the best university in the northwest, and it is famous for its history and mathematics departments. Cuiying College is the most powerful college in this university.
In order to sneak into Lanzhou University as a strange tourist, I had to compete with the security guards. Later, when I recalled this experience, I couldn't stop smiling.
At the entrance of each school gate, there is a notice that requires teachers and students to provide their ID cards to enter the campus. Several security guards looked at each student passing through the side door like owls waiting for prey, with the fierceness of a head teacher checking homework in their eyes. After thinking for a while, I found a passage that leads directly to the school at the south gate of the school - the overpass, where there will be no mischievous guys. Although I had to go around to other residential courtyards, I could successfully avoid the eyes arranged by the guys and sneak into the school tactfully.
It is extremely difficult to trap a curious mind while traveling.
It was the time when students were taking graduation photos. The entrance was very strict. Visitors like us had to swipe our ID cards before we were allowed in. The campus was very beautiful, like a park.
The old campus of Lanzhou University is a bit small. You can walk around it in one go.
Something u did not work hard ever.
Located in the northwest, due to its geographical location, the school has not developed very well in recent years, but it is still worthy of the 985 signboard and has a good atmosphere.
Lanzhou University is the best university in Gansu and one of the best in Northwest China.
I will slowly piece it together based on my memories. I arrived in Lanzhou in June 2015. At that time, I had just cycled 318 to Lhasa with my best friend (fellow villager and college classmate). After staying in Lhasa for a week, I took the train to Lanzhou and stayed in Lanzhou for three days because my cousin married in Lanzhou! Let me tell you about my feelings about Lanzhou. Food: I am from Hubei, and I definitely can't get used to the food in Lanzhou. I feel that most people mainly eat noodles! Just like my brother-in-law has a noodle press at home! I basically don't eat rice! My sister and brother-in-law took us to play in Lanzhou for a few days, Lanzhou University, the Yellow River Mother Wharf (if I remember correctly, it should be this name). We stayed there for a few days and didn't have a particularly deep impression! It was just a passing by. I personally yearn for the Northwest! I also want to walk along the Silk Road, and I will go there later!
When you come to a big city, you are used to visiting famous universities. This is a university that was once very good but has gradually fallen behind due to local reasons.
The Lanzhou University campus on Tianshui South Road is not far from the railway station and is only two bus stops away. You can go for a walk and have a look. The campus scenery is beautiful. Taking the children there allows them to experience and relive the university atmosphere.
It is a very good university with a long history. If you come to Lanzhou, you may want to stop and walk around the campus of Lanzhou University to experience the good times of the university campus.
The best local university in Gansu, with a great campus environment, it is worth studying abroad!
The air quality in Lanzhou is not particularly good, but Lanzhou University has done a good job in landscaping, and the air is very fresh, no less than that in Xiamen.
Old city, polluted environment, underdeveloped, but I still like it
In the city of Lanzhou, this place is simply a desert oasis.
Shui Junyi, host of CCTV's "Eastern Horizon", "Focus Interview" and "High-end Interview", one of China's top ten outstanding young people, graduated from Lanzhou University with a major in English Language and Literature
Feng Xincheng, founder and executive editor of New Weekly, graduated from the Chinese Department of Lanzhou University.
Hu Yaquan, founder of Reader's Magazine, graduated from the Department of Geology and Geography of Lanzhou University.
Take a look at the big names that came out of here and get some literary and artistic atmosphere.
After eating, I started to get down to business. Since I came here to reminisce about my school days, my first stop would definitely be Lanzhou University, mainly because it’s close, haha~~~
Lanzhou University was founded in 1909. Its predecessor was the Gansu Law and Politics School established during the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty. It was a symbol of the beginning of modern higher education in Gansu and opened the precedent of higher education in Northwest China. In 1928, it was expanded to Lanzhou Sun Yat-sen University; in 1945, it was named National Lanzhou University. In 1952, it was identified as one of the 14 comprehensive universities in the country. In 2001, the Ministry of Education and the Gansu Provincial Government signed a key provincial and ministerial co-construction agreement. In 2002 and 2004, the former Gansu Grassland Ecology Research Institute and Lanzhou Medical College were successively merged into Lanzhou University.
Near the train station, three or four stops away on foot. Occasionally you will need to show your ID
It was already past 7pm yesterday, and I came here at noon today. It's worth a visit.
The library looks nice from the outside, but it's a little shabby inside, after all, it's an old school.
Through Lanzhou University, you can see a city clearly. A comprehensive university, a rising flag of universities in Northwest China.
The university is pretty good, and there are fewer people in winter.
The place where I lived for four years is now much more beautiful than before.

It is a symbol of the beginning of modern higher education in Gansu and opened the precedent of higher education in the northwest. Take the airport bus from the airport to the city, and the place where you get off is diagonally opposite Lanzhou University. The campus is well greened with green trees and the indoor temperature is very comfortable in summer. The library is also a place worth visiting.
The main campus of Lanzhou University is very beautiful, and there is authentic Lanzhou beef noodles nearby.
The most famous university in Lanzhou, right? Visiting local universities has become a fixed experience, so it's a good idea to go and have a look. Every time I return to campus, I will think of my college days, and I feel a little reluctant. If I go back to campus again, I will definitely have a different campus life.
The campus is the most beautiful in April. All kinds of flowers are in bloom. However, you must register when entering through the main gate. Another way is to bring your schoolmates in. The campus is not big, but the scenery is still beautiful.
After leaving Lanzhou University Hotel, we walked through the small and big gates of Lanzhou University that we passed yesterday, and took the bus to the main gate to the train station to store our luggage! We had considered whether to leave our luggage at the hotel (free) or at the train station (a backpack and a bag of clothes cost 20 yuan in total), but in order to avoid going back to the hotel, we decided to leave it at the train station.
When we came out of the main gate of Lanzhou University, we found that the security guards were checking the student ID cards one by one. People from other schools were stopped outside and not allowed to enter. The security guard at the small gate just ignored us and said, O(∩_∩)O Haha~ Don’t be too lucky~~ Lanzhou University can be regarded as the city cultural business card of Lanzhou. It’s not bad to go and experience it, but it doesn’t have too many special features~~
I walked around Lanzhou University and felt the long-lost school atmosphere. When I entered Lanzhou University, I walked straight to the door pretending to be a student. If someone checked me, I would say I forgot to bring it.
We took the airport bus from Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport, and Lanzhou University was the final stop, which took an hour. There is Ma Zilu Beef Noodles nearby.
I happened to live near Lanzhou University. I took a stroll there at noon and also had a meal in the cafeteria. The scenery was nice and quiet.
Whenever I go to a place, in addition to the famous local attractions, I usually visit the local university. For this reason, I took the time to visit Lanzhou University on the morning of the day I left Lanzhou. I could enter by registering with my ID card at the gate. I went to the Tianshui campus, which didn't seem to have much special features, except for the library, which was called Jishitang. Due to time constraints, I didn't spend too much time there and left.
Lanzhou University has many campuses, and the one in Yuzhong is the largest. Undergraduate students from freshman to junior year are all in Yuzhong (medical school students only stay for one year), and senior year is in the medical school campus. The main campus is on Panxuan Road, which is quite beautiful. Only graduate students and doctoral students take classes there... The food in the main campus cafeteria is delicious, and the food in Yuzhong Houshi is also delicious... Lectures are usually held in Yuzhong, art performances are held in the main campus, and the school sports meeting is held in Yuzhong... Note: The picture is from the official WeChat account of Lanzhou University
Because I live in a capsule apartment not far from Lanzhou University, I can see Lanzhou University as soon as I go out.
My alma mater. My golden age. Unfortunately, I spent three years in Yuzhong.
Lanzhou University, referred to as LanDa, is directly under the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and is a vice-ministerial institution directly under the central government. It is listed among the universities of the "211 Project" and the "985 Project". It has a graduate school and is a comprehensive national key university. Lanzhou University was founded in 1909. Its predecessor was the Gansu Law and Politics School established during the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty. It was a symbol of the beginning of modern higher education in Gansu and opened the precedent of higher education in the northwest. In 1928, it was expanded to Lanzhou Sun Yat-sen University; in 1945, it was named National Lanzhou University. In 1952, it was identified as one of the 14 comprehensive universities in the country.

It feels like a relatively small university, not even as big as our high school here! Hahaha
Lanzhou University is a national key university and the most famous university in western China.
I accidentally visited Lanzhou University. You need to punch in to enter Lanzhou University. The security guards don't check student ID cards when you enter through the south gate of Maijishan Road. As a southerner, visiting a northern school, I can see some similarities and differences. There are many small stalls selling pancakes and egg-filled pancakes on the way to Lanzhou University in the morning. Many locals go back to line up to buy them. It is also the first choice for local office workers. If you go to Lanzhou, you can also try it.
I just passed by and didn't go in. The school gate is pretty nice.
Lanzhou University, I just wanted to visit this famous local university while I was waiting for the train. Although it is located in the bustling area of the city center, it is peaceful and quiet inside. Although it is small, it has everything.
I fell in love with Lanzhou, not only because of its unique western scenery and nationally famous beef noodles, but also because of the seven years of youth I spent studying there.
As a 985 and 211 university directly under the Ministry of Education, Lanzhou University's geographical location is indeed a bit remote. The train from my hometown in Henan to Lanzhou, after passing Tianshui, is just a bare earthen hill. Many students and parents from the south were a little stunned when they saw such a scenery for the first time.
But I remember when I first arrived at Lanzhou University for the retest, I was really attracted by the blue sky and white clouds here. Lanzhou University is located in the prime location of Chengguan District. It takes only two bus stops from the railway station to Lanzhou University. The transportation is very convenient. Although it is in the downtown area, you will feel quiet when you enter the campus. The graduate campus of Lanzhou University is not large. The library, Yuxiu Lake, gymnasium, large activity center and public facilities are distributed relatively compactly. There is a martyr's pavilion beside Yuxiu Lake. The founder of Crazy English, Mr. Li Yang, practiced there in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. The campus environment is quite good and you can basically walk around in 20-30 minutes.
If you want to study quietly, you may consider Lanzhou University.
Lanzhou University is not very big, and since it is summer vacation, the campus is very quiet. There is a small lake in the northeast of the campus, and the library "Jishitang" is next to the lake. The row of kettles in front of the library is so lively.
Lanzhou University is said to be a university with a lot of connotation. Although it is summer vacation, there are still a lot of people. The design of the road signs and other things also seems very thoughtful. It is a university with history.
It’s a very beautiful university, and it’s a beautiful thing for the two of them to walk together on the campus.
Lanzhou University is very good. People who come here say that the school is really big and the environment is good. After all, it is a century-old school.
Because I am a student, I have a special liking for universities. I want to experience the study atmosphere in the northwest. Even on holidays, there are still people studying in the library. If you have time, you can simply take a look around. If you are lucky, you can sneak in.
Lanzhou University is very close to the train station. I got off the train early when I came back and looked at the gate, but was not allowed to go in. Many students in bachelor's gowns were taking pictures at the gate.
Every university has its own merits and unique features. You can go and have a look when you have time!
The sky was gloomy. As soon as I walked into the campus, I felt that this school was indeed old. I walked around the campus and then left.
The Lanzhou University campus is a place with good greening in Lanzhou. There are also small ponds that are common in southern schools, which are not very common in schools in the northwest. The plants in the school must rely on drip irrigation every day to grow lush. The whole scenery is still good. Walking along the gate, you will see the iconic building of Lanzhou University, Jishitang, which is the school library. The pattern of this building is on the school emblem of Lanzhou University, which shows its status and representativeness. Because it is a school, there will be students in the stadium, library, etc., which is also a different feeling. The campus on Tianshui South Road is the headquarters of Lanzhou University, mainly the laboratories of various colleges, dormitories for graduate students and some necessary facilities for life. The canteen has three floors. The first and third floors are specially prepared for students and faculty. It is cheaper to pay with campus cards. There is a place to buy tickets on the third floor or the first floor, but the food will be more expensive. The first floor is mainly fast food and some pasta. The third floor is snacks and meals, small hot pot, bibimbap, iron plate, etc. The taste is not bad, better than the first floor, but slightly more expensive. The second floor is for ordering food. You can pay with campus cards, bank cards, or cash. The food on the second floor is very affordable and tastes very good. It is much better than the restaurant at the school gate. I must recommend it. If you have the chance, you must go and eat there. You can get a 10% discount if you pay with a campus card. Hehe.
Lanzhou University is only two stops away from the railway station, which is very convenient. You can take bus No. 1 from the railway station to the entrance of Lanzhou University. There is also an airport bus stop at the hotel opposite Lanzhou University. The airport bus departs from the airport and stops at the entrance of the hotel opposite Lanzhou University. So it is still very convenient to go to Lanzhou University. Lanzhou University is also relatively close to Wangfujing in Lanzhou, but due to the construction of Wanda, Wangfujing seems to be more depressed, but it is still okay to stroll around and watch a movie. Of course, Wanda is not very far away, but there seems to be no connecting bus, but taking a taxi is not very expensive. There are buses at the bus stop next to the side door of Lanzhou University that can go to Xiguan Cross and Nanguan Cross. Overall, transportation is very convenient.
It's ok, I took a look around, nothing special...
Lanzhou University is not big, and you can visit it in one hour. You need to register your ID card to enter the gate. The security uncle is very nice, and the students are also very good. He helped us take photos in various ways and was not impatient at all. Take a photo with the road sign to show that you are bigger.
The university is beautiful. I came here just to experience my student days again. If you have the same idea, you can come here.
I like the good feeling this school brings me. The indoor temperature in summer is very comfortable, and the library is a place worth visiting. The rockery beside the pond is suitable for fishing, and the greenery on campus is very good, with shady trees.
It was graduation time, and many students were taking photos at the gate. We did not enter the school gate, but took a few photos at the gate and left.
Small, quiet... The students are very friendly. We went there at night but were stopped by the security guard. We happened to meet a beautiful lady at the door. She took us in and acted as a tour guide. Thank you, beautiful lady...
There is a stone tablet at the entrance. There is a bigger stone next to it, on which is engraved the motto of Lanzhou University, "Strive for self-improvement and be unique". I have a very good impression of Lanzhou University. I feel that it has the same atmosphere as my alma mater in some aspects, low-key and unpretentious, haha~~
After checking in, go to Lanzhou University and walk from the side door to the main entrance.
But the campus is not large, and the scenery cannot be compared with Shenzhen University, Wuhan University, and Xiamen University. But this is the Northwest, so it is already very good. The lush tree-lined paths make me feel like I am back in my youthful student days.
The only university directly under the Ministry of Education in northwest China after Shaanxi, I think its ranking would be higher than it is now if it were not for its geographical location. Many national key laboratories are established here, and many celebrities have studied here. In addition, the campus scenery is pleasant, so it is worth a visit. I would like to remind everyone that Lanzhou University should have no less than three campuses, and you should pay attention to the old campus located in the city when visiting.
I slept until I was woken up in the morning. The economic room without window was so expensive and made people not know the difference between day and night. I got up at 8:40 and took a taxi to Lanzhou University. I still have campus feelings even at my old age. It is dedicated to our youth that will eventually pass away. The name of the path in Lanzhou University is very good. The campus is not big. Although I got up late, the time was just right. I still had time for a bowl of Lanzhou ramen. The delicious beef noodles that made me not want to talk tonight drew a perfect end to this trip.
I like to visit universities in every place if I have time. I still have some time before leaving Lanzhou, so I planned to go to Lanzhou University. It is at a crossroad in a very busy city. When I saw the gate, I couldn't believe that I was there. The environment is good, and it feels like a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
Lanzhou's most famous 985 university is located in the center of Lanzhou. The campus environment is very good and the learning atmosphere is very strong. The transportation is very convenient and you can take Metro Line 1 directly to the school.
