Spend the afternoon walking around downtown Lanzhou and you'll quickly see that the city is not at all lacking in up-scale shopping options. Not only will you find many of the popular national chains like Wangfujing or New World Department Store around Lanzhou; you'll find some local high-end favorites as well, such as Ya'ou Shopping Plaza and Guofang Department Store.
1) Wangfujing Department StoreView In Map
Wangfujing Department store (王府井百货), located in the Rapid Shopping Mall (瑞德摩尔广场) is an all-in-one upscale shopping center and supermarket. On the first floor, one can find women's makeup, gold jewellery, eyeglasses, and the customer service counter. On the second floor, one can find women's clothing, underwear and other items. The third floor sells clothing for older women and features quite a few shops that specialize in cashmere wool. On the fourth floor, one can find men's formal suits, casual wear, brief cases, and more. The fifth floor features outdoors and children's items, while the basement floor sells household electronics and office supplies. A section of discounted clothing is usually set up at the department store's entrances. And for when you need to rest your feet after all of that shopping, the mall features a Star Cineplex as well.
