Three gates are martyr, and second gate is theater hall of roll roof is at the north and double eaves main hall is at the back. Wing-rooms and bell drum towers are at the both sides.

There are many restaurants serving the Lanzhou specialties such as Beef Noodles, cold noodles, Saozimian and Jiangshuimian, noodles with jiangshui (a specially-processed sour soup). Besides, the snacks of Huidouzi (a well-boiled peasoup), Niangpizi and Tainpeizi are also well worth a try. You would find all the little trinkets ranging from antique to jade, ancient coin here.
