Zhèngzōng Lánzhōu Niúròumiàn
One of several places you can hoover up a bowl of tasty and filling hóngshāo niúròumiàn (红烧牛肉面; noodles with braised beef; Y12); it's a short walk north of the Fēitiān Bīnguǎn.

Zhāixīng Gé
Tremendous spot for a rooftop sundowner gazing out over the golden sand dunes; although at Y30 for a small bottle of beer, it may be worth tanking up first at the far, far cheaper (but viewless) Silk Road Alehouse (丝路酒坊) bar outside.

Oasis
Surely the best milk shakes (Y12; blueberry, peach, kiwifruit and more) in northwest China and some of the finest coffee too, including the endless coffee (Y18), perfect for an everlasting caffeine rush. There're good smoothies (Y10) as well at this relaxing, chilled-out spot run by an Oklahoman. Pristine loo too.

Night Market
Lively spot off Yangguan Donglu with singing, music bands and roast lamb by the platter (Y40 per jīn). There are loads of Sìchuān, Korean noodles, claypot, barbecue and Lánzhōu noodles outfits here, so just take your pick. Look out for cooling cups of xìngpíshuǐ (杏皮水; Y5, apricot juice).

Làzhī Ròujiāmó
The plastic flowers and tacky furniture won't win any awards, but this place does some very tasty ròujiāmó (肉夹馍; Y5 to Y6) – the famous 'Chinese hamburger' from Shaanxi province.

Dūnhuáng Museum
The Dūnhuáng Museum is largely unchanged since opening in 1984; there's little here you can't see at the Mògāo Caves or the Jade Gate Pass museum.
