Lanzhou Antique Market – Lanzhou Curio

In the past each city in China had a town god temple, the central shrine for Daoist worship. Now in China, nearly each big city has its own unique antique or curio market.

Lanzhou is no exception. In addition, Lanzhou puts the two together – Lanzhou’s Antique market is located inside Lanzhou Chenghuang Miao ( Lanzhou Town God’s Temple ) in the middle of Zhangye Road, the most famous pedestrian street in Lanzhou.
