The T3 terminal's design features a "main building plus four concourses" configuration. Each concourse ranges from 336 to 422 meters in length, accommodating a total of 94 aircraft stands, 74 of which are contact gates. The terminal's exterior boasts gentle curves, evoking the image of the "Nine Bends of the Yellow River."

Situated in front of the terminal, the integrated transportation center, surrounded by verdant landscaping, forms the shape of a traditional Chinese "ruyi" ornament. This design, reminiscent of a Silk Road oasis in the desert, immediately immerses travelers in the rich culture of Western China and the essence of Gansu province.

Twenty meters below ground, the facility connects to lines 3 and 4 of the Lanzhou-Zhangye high-speed railway, with provisions for future rail transit. Eleven meters underground lies the high-speed rail station hall, while above ground, a parking structure offers 3,520 spaces.

Upon completion and transition into operations, Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport will emerge as a comprehensive transportation hub, seamlessly integrating air, rail, and ground transportation.
