eye Lanzhou

在兰州，有个地方明明没有城门，却叫作“双城门”！

In Lanzhou, there's a place called Shuangchengmen, which means"Double Gate". However, there' s no actual gate exists!

抗日战争时期，为疏散民众躲避日军轰炸，安定门周围的城墙上开辟出两个拱形门洞，此处因此得名双城门。后来老城门被拆，其名称却沿用至今。

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, two arched gates were made in the city wall near Andingmen to help people escape invader's bombings. That' s how it got the name "Shuangchengmen." Although the old gate was torn down later, but the name is still used today.

庆阳路在明朝筑城时即已形成，曾被称为上、下东关，又先后被命名为益民路、和平路。1958年，兰州市采用地县名称为城市道路命名，庆阳路自此得名。它见证过繁华的商贸往来，也经历过抗战的硝烟烽火，宛如兰州城市发展的缩影，连接着历史的厚重与现代的活力。

Qingyang Road was formed when the city was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was once called Upper and Lower Dongguan, and later renamed Yimin Road and Heping Road. In 1958, Lanzhou began using county names for its streets, and that' s how Qingyang Road got its current name. It has witnessed bustling trade and endured the flames of war. Like a miniature of Lanzhou' s development, this road connects deep history with modern energy.

告别街头的喧嚣，庆阳路还藏着让心灵安静下来的角落——西北书城！

Leaving the noisy streets behind, Qingyang Road also has quiet spots for the soul — like Northwest Bookstore!

如今的西北书城不只是一家书店，更是一个集阅读、创意于一体的文化空间。找个角落席地而坐，翻开书本，就能收获阅读的快乐。

Today, it is more than a bookstore — also a cultural space for reading and creativity. Find a spot, sit down, open a book, and you can enjoy the joy of reading.

沿庆阳路继续前行，就来到兰州市博物馆。走进其中，时光仿佛都慢了下来。馆内的珍藏，像一幅流动的画卷，以朝代更替为线索，诉说着兰州曾经作为丝路重镇的辉煌。

Further down Qingyang Road is the Lanzhou Municipal Museum. Step inside, and time seems to slow down. The museum's treasures are like a flowing scroll, telling the story of Lanzhou' s glorious past as a key city on the Silk Road.

从兰州市博物馆向东继续前行，就到了东方红广场。

Heading east from the museum, you' ll reach Dongfanghong Square.

广场东侧的国芳百货，承载着几代人的购物记忆；西侧的体育馆则见证了兰州市民体育文化生活的变迁；拔地而起的万象城已成为兰州城市新地标。作为集商业、娱乐、交通枢纽等功能于一体的城市综合体，东方红广场始终在变化中前行，连接起兰州的过去与未来。

Guofang Center on the east side carries the shopping memories of generations; the stadium on the west has seen the evolution of sports and culture in the city; the rising MixC Mall has become a new landmark. As a hub for business, entertainment, and transport, Dongfanghong Square keeps evolving, connecting Lanzhou's past and future.
