1. Not yet, but you can take Shuttle Bus Chengguan District Line from the airport to the railway station. It operates only if there are flights.
2. The Bus Line 11 can take you to the south Bus Station directly.

I only find Xiguan Shizi Station in Lanzhou City. If you do refer to that, it’s not near the university. You need to take bus 18 to Nongda Jiashuyuan within 30mins. Then, you will see the school.
