The Laughable and Cryable Lanzhou Stele Forest, featuring a 'I have it all' theme
The Lanzhou Stele Forest was a bit unexpected for me.
I originally thought that the Lanzhou Stele Forest would be similar to the Xi'an Stele Forest, where one could see collections of ancient steles. However, I found that the steles in the Lanzhou Stele Forest are basically 'reproductions' of calligraphy works by famous calligraphers from ancient to modern times, as well as 'reproductions' of famous ancient steles.
Interestingly, I even saw a complete reproduction of the 'Chunhua Pavilion Collection' (one of the treasures of the Gansu Provincial Museum, with only three steles on display), as well as reproductions of Li Bai's 'Shangyangtai Tie' and Li Shimin's 'Wenquan Ming'. This mix of ancient and modern calligraphy steles really feels like visiting a 'Window of the World', featuring a 'whatever you want to see, I have it all' theme.
Honestly, it makes one laugh and cry at the same time.
Address: No. 452, North Binhe Road.
It is recommended to take a taxi from the city center, as the car can drive directly to the entrance of the Stele Forest scenic area.
🌈
Overall, the environment of the Lanzhou Stele Forest scenic area is quite good, with good greenery and beautiful buildings.
It's nice to take photos in the Stele Forest Park.
Climbing the pavilions allows you to overlook the main urban area and the Yellow River, and taking aerial photos of the Yellow River is also good. It can be a good place to climb high and look far.
