About About the place

The Lanzhou Forest of Steles is a recently established site located on the mountain within White Pagoda Park. Access is primarily via cable car, followed by a short walk. The 'forest' consists of a series of contemporary black stones displayed against white walls, continuing into a modern pagoda structure. While the site is free to enter, its novelty and limited historical context may not appeal to all visitors.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Accessibility is limited. The site is located on a mountain and is best reached via cable car. Once at the top, there is a walk to the attraction. The modern construction may offer some level of accessibility within the structures, but the initial access presents challenges for those with mobility issues.

Kid friendly

The site is generally safe for children, but the abstract nature of the 'forest' may not be engaging for younger kids. Stroller access is limited due to the cable car and walking path. There are no specific facilities for children, such as changing rooms or play areas.

Pet friendly

Pets are likely not allowed due to the cable car and park regulations.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are limited food facilities directly at the Lanzhou Forest of Steles. White Pagoda Park offers some options, but visitors may want to bring their own snacks and water.
