During the holiday, Lanzhou Railway Station is expected to handle more than 500,000 passenger trips, with an average of 45,700 passengers per day.

Judging from the pre-sale of tickets, peak passenger flow is expected to be registered on Oct 1, with 60,000 tourists expected to pass through the station  in a single day.

Affected by the spread of the pandemic, short-distance transport continues to dominate, carrying people towards destinations such as Tianshui, Longnan, Jiayuguan, and Zhangye cities in the province.
