Brand Story
Located in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, Ningwozhuang Hotel traces its origins to the 1950s, when it was built to meet the needs of diplomatic receptions and important conferences in the early years of the People's Republic of China. In 1956, the main building was completed and named 'Ningwozhuang Guesthouse,' under the administration of the Gansu Provincial Government Affairs Bureau. During the 1960s, the guesthouse frequently hosted central leaders on inspection tours of Gansu, and its gardens and guest rooms were gradually expanded. After the reform and opening-up in 1978, it was renamed 'Ningwozhuang Hotel' and became a key venue for Gansu's external exchanges. The name 'Ningwozhuang' derives from the local place name, meaning 'a place of peaceful repose.' Its architecture blends Soviet style with northwestern courtyard features, and its gardens, filled with ancient trees and lush greenery, are known as 'Lanzhou's finest garden.' As a core venue for political and diplomatic events in Gansu, Ningwozhuang Hotel has witnessed many historic moments, and its service traditions and garden culture together make it an important carrier of Lanzhou's urban memory.
