It was the local authorities, developers and universities that moved Lanzhou University to Yuzhong. As the business card of Lanzhou, Lanzhou University has long been tied to the chariot of Lanzhou's urban development, and the Yuzhong campus of Lanzhou University is placed in the mountains, which is the product of the strategic decision of Gansu local government. Lanzhou City expanded eastward, and Lanzhou University was ordered to move to Yuzhong County, 47 kilometers away.
