Du Ji Sweet Shop
This shop is a long-established brand in Lanzhou, and it is very popular. Customers order food at the entrance, and sometimes the queue extends to the alley entrance. The shop's specialties are gray beans and sweet rice wine. The sweetness of the gray beans can be adjusted to your taste while dining. The shop is frequented by local middle-aged and elderly people, who enjoy the fragrant and sweet gray bean cakes and the spicy red oil stuffed skin. All food is packaged in disposable bowls, making it very convenient to carry. In addition, the shop's crystal cake, date dumplings, and meat pies are all worth trying.
Pei Afu Apricot Peel Tea
Several famous dessert shops in Lanzhou are very close to each other. This one is just a few steps away from Duji Desserts. I had two cups of apricot peel tea here. In comparison, the taste of the desserts in this shop is stronger, and you can smell the rich aroma of apricot flesh as soon as you enter.
Zhengning Road Snack Night Market
Zhengning Road Night Market is the largest night market snack area in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City. Located in a bustling area, it is a long street that remains brightly lit throughout the night. Various kinds of snacks are gathered here, too numerous to count. Every night, nearly a hundred small stalls are neatly arranged from east to west. The rhythmic calls of the vendors attract passersby, creating a spectacular scene. The snacks include grilled fish, grilled meat, grilled lamb skewers, stinky tofu, cold noodles, fried potato strips, sheep's head, braised noodles, sweet wine, apricot peel water, and more.
Zhonghua Shouzhua King
This is a famous local restaurant known for its hand-grabbed meat. The signature dish, hand-grabbed meat, is very tender and has no gamey taste. The Dongxiang potatoes made by every household are also very delicious, especially the soup. Almost everyone who orders this dish will take a sip of the soup.
Lao Ma BBQ
In Lanzhou dialect, this shop is considered the best BBQ in Lanzhou! The meat is marinated before roasting, resulting in perfectly tender and crispy meat. It's extremely satisfying to eat. We ordered BBQ meat, BBQ tendons, and BBQ lamb tail, all of which were delicious!
