Nestled in a valley surrounded by dramatic mountains, this small town is a gateway to exploring the Silk Road's lesser-known wonders. Visitors can wander through traditional Hui Muslim neighborhoods, sample hand-pulled noodles and lamb skewers at bustling night markets, and hike to panoramic viewpoints overlooking terraced fields and monasteries. The arid climate means clear skies perfect for stargazing, while the nearby Danxia landforms paint the landscape in fiery reds and oranges at sunset. Fanba's slow pace and warm hospitality make it ideal for travelers seeking authentic Chinese frontier life away from tourist crowds.",[10,13,16],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","110",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","120",{"key":17,"value":18},"Fire","119",[20,23,26,29,32,35,38],{"key":21,"value":22},"Do I need a visa?","Most foreign travelers need a visa for China.
