French adventurers Loic and Benjamin, currently on a global walking tour, recently passed through Lanzhou, Gansu province. The duo embarked on their journey from Annecy, France, in September 2024, with Shanghai as their final destination. Having traversed 15 countries so far, they found Lanzhou to be a striking contrast to their experiences in France.

They were particularly taken aback by the towering skyscrapers and sprawling cityscape, which seemed immense to them. The city's vibrant lights and the extensive use of LED advertisements on buildings stood in stark contrast to what they were accustomed to in France.
