Baitashan Park — Attraction in Jingyuan Road Subdistrict

Need to scan your chinese citizenship card or 身份证 to enter this specific part of the park pictured below. I was able to get in by registering at the entrance but best to bring your card if you have one.

Overall, this park is one of the best if not the best park in Lanzhou. Be prepared to hike up to the top for some of the best view of Lanzhou. Stairs and steep climbs are very common. I went to Baitashan around 11 in the morning. There were lots of people at the bottom but the further up you get, the fewer people you will see. I was able to hike up to the top in an hour or so but for those who still want to enjoy the view without walking can ride cable cars that will take you directly to the top. Also many side stalls that sell food like ice cream and drinks...

On a sunny day in February, Baitashan Park in Lanzhou was a revelation. The mix of modern buildings and ancient sights like the White Pagoda, all set in vibrant greenery, was breathtaking. Climbing to the pagoda offered incredible views, and the well-maintained park was a peaceful break from the city buzz. It’s a special place that beautifully bridges Lanzhou’s past and present, perfect for anyone wanting to soak in the...

白塔山公園位於蘭州市北，因山頭有一座白塔寺而得名。該寺始建於元代、重建於明朝，寺平面呈長方形，白塔居中，上有綠頂，下有圓基，通體潔白。白塔七級八面，為實心磚塔。每級每角均有翹起的磚刻小龍頭，下系風鈴，隨風飄蕩，聲清音脆。高約17米，各面雕有佛像，檐角系有鐵馬鈴。塔外通塗白漿，如白玉砌成。挺拔秀麗。塔南是三大寺樓，北面是準提菩薩殿，東西各有配殿數間。登白塔山頂，可俯視蘭州市容，白塔與黃河上的鐵橋構成雄渾壯麗的畫面，成為蘭州市的象征之一。 白塔山1958年辟為公園，總建築面積8,000多平方米，分為三臺建築群，依山而築，飛檐紅柱，參差有致，各建築以亭榭回廊相連，四通八達。山上原有象皮鼓、青銅鐘、紫荊樹，古稱“鎮山三寶”，現紫荊樹已枯死。白塔山經過多年綠化，樹高林密，曲徑通幽。公園內獨特的“黃河奇石館”藏石豐富，和裕固族接待帳房為別處少見，獨具風格。山下為中山橋，使二者已連為一體，成為蘭州旅遊的必遊之地。白塔建成後，幾經強烈地震，毫無損傷，顯示出中國古代勞動人民建築之科學精巧，智慧之高超絕倫。白塔山以“白塔”而得名。白塔寺在山巔，相傳為紀念元代以為去蒙古謁見成吉思汗而病故於蘭州的西藏著名喇嘛而建。據載，元太祖成吉思汗在統一大元帝國的疆域時，曾致書西藏喇嘛教的薩迦派法王。法王即派一著名喇嘛去覲見成吉思汗，該喇嘛途經蘭州時不幸病逝，於是元朝下令修塔紀念。元代所修白塔今已不存，現存塔為明景泰年間(1450-1456)鎮守甘肅內監劉永成在舊址上重建。清康熙五十四年（1715年），巡撫綽奇補舊增新，擴建寺址，改名慈恩寺，但百姓仍呼之為白塔寺。清人秦維嶽有詩雲：“北上環擁勢嵯峨，塔影巍然最上坡。布地散金名寶剎，擎天一柱俯黃河。”描繪出白塔雄姿。出白塔寺門西下右轉，有水濂觀音洞。在洞西北臺上，建有關帝廟、駐春亭、蘭臺，至山巔處建有一亭曰“牡丹亭”。白塔寺西南稍低處，有峰突起，號稱鳳嶺山，清康熙時在上面修建了三官殿和觀音洞。嘉慶時又添建了藥王殿和財神殿及三間靈官樓等建築。寺東南有三教道統祠，祠東為三皇殿，祠前有石拱橋，石拱為門，可通來往。過牌樓而下，便是羅漢殿，殿前有懸樓10余間，供遊人憑眺及休息。三教祠再東南另一山峰有三星殿，出殿是“鳳林香裊”牌樓，其背面是“秀映三臺”，大約是指東有鳳林古關，南望臯蘭山三臺閣之意。沿曲徑南下直達四臺大廳，這也是上山最主要的一條道路。山下東側原有文昌宮，中為魁星閣，是舊時秀才們祈禱登科的去處，現改為百花茶廳，為遊客飲食休息之處。從白塔寺南直線下山，昔人就山勢分為十級，每級有一小小的殿宇，統稱“十王殿”。十王殿南為四聖宮，宮南有拱橋，橋南便是玉皇閣，閣南是祖師殿。在改建中十王殿多已拆除，唯在崖頭上尚存一個。山頂的古建築物還有迎旭客閣，東、西、北三山之巔還有有東風亭、喜雨亭。登臨諸殿閣，可憑欄遠眺日出，放眼黃河，氣象萬千。白塔山樹高林密，曲徑通幽。站在山上，便可一瞰全市景觀及九曲連環的母親河。又因有一元代白塔而成為蘭州旅遊的必遊之地。每年6月初到9月中旬是避暑、休閑的最佳時節。逢至周六、...
