What to bring when traveling to Xining

I don’t know where you are from, so I’ll take Xi’an as an example.

Clothing: Wear short sleeves and a jacket in July and August. If you want to live by Qinghai Lake, it is best to bring a thicker jacket. I even wore a fur vest. Ha ha. Whether it is the urban area or Qinghai Lake, it will be cold in the morning and evening, so be prepared. Wear a pair of comfortable pants. It's best not to wear shorts or anything like that. If you stay for two or three days, one pair of pants is enough. If you stay longer, check it out again. The socks are also thin and thick. Of course, this depends on your shoes. I went wearing canvas shoes. While at the lake, I changed into a pair of thick socks. Haha, if I were wearing hiking boots or hiking boots, I shouldn’t have this problem, right? If you are driving by yourself, you can wear whatever shoes you want. If you are self-catering, comfortable shoes are very important, ordinary sneakers are fine.

Drugs: If you are weak, prepare more drugs, such as Rhodiola rosea capsules (this should be taken four or five days in advance), cold medicine, stomach medicine, norfloxacin, analgesics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. . Take it according to your own physique. It's best to take some medicine when you get angry, because Xining is relatively dry. My nose is very dry, some people have nosebleeds, but I am a little irritable.

Sunscreen is a must. Don’t bring toner, bring moisturizer. Same thing, very dry.

Wear hats, headscarves, and sunglasses according to your own habits. Because I don’t like these things, but after going there, I think there should still be hats. If I had worn it at that time, my nose probably would not have been sunburned.

The rest, including cameras, mobile phones, chargers, snacks, toilet paper, wet wipes... depends on your own itinerary. If you have less money, bring more stuff. If you have more money, you can buy elsewhere.
