Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced the top ten ice and snow tourism routes for 2023-24 nationwide, with Gansu province's "Hexi Silk Road·Indulge in Ice and Snow" being selected as one of them.

The "Hexi Silk Road·Indulge in Ice and Snow" tourism route covers key cities such as Pingliang, Tianshui, Dingxi, Lanzhou, Linxia, Wuwei, Jinchang, Zhangye, Jiayuguan, and Jiuquan, with nearly a hundred ice and snow tourism sites, including Lanzhou Longshan International Ski Resort, Lanzhou Xinglongshan Ski Resort, Lanzhou Anning Ski Resort, the Lanzhou New Area Athlete Training Center for Ice and Snow Sports, and Lanzhou New Area Zhongchuan Town Ice and Snow Park.
