About Xining
Xining, capital of Qinghai Province, is known as China’s Summer Capital and the main gateway to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Located at 2,260 meters above sea level, it enjoys cool summers and fresh plateau air. A historic hub on the ancient northern Silk Road, it integrates Tibetan, Hui, Han and Mongolian cultures. Don’t miss Kumbum Monastery, a revered Tibetan Buddhist sacred site, and Dongguan Mosque with unique Islamic features. It is the perfect acclimatization stop before deeper plateau trips, with convenient access to Qinghai Lake and vast alpine grasslands. Local yak cuisine and ethnic markets let visitors experience authentic highland folk culture.
