Lanzhou Introduction (Hits:)
The Yellow River flows across Lanzhou, a city that has a 2,000-year history and is capital of Gansu Province. it is one of the largest cities in the northwest, and this concentration has done little to improve the pollution that thickens the air and that flows downriver. It was this discovery, along with the fact that the city was a significant fortress (for around 1,400 years) of the Hexi Corridor, an eastern and crucial stretch of the Silk Road, that led to a long period of great prosperity in the city.
