Self-guided tour around Xining

Hello!

I also suggest not to join a group, it will not be fun to spend money. I am from Xining, so I know very well how those tour groups deceive people. They will not choose a good hotel for you, the accommodation is not good, and the service attitude is poor. So it is recommended to travel on your own.

As for the race around the lake, it has started now. It seems that they will arrive at Qinghai Lake on the 9th, so I think unless you are an enthusiast in this area, you can not participate. It is boring, and they have to close the road. inconvenient.

July is a good season for you to come to Qinghai. It is a good place to escape the summer heat. However, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so just bring one or two long-sleeved pieces. Otherwise, it is okay to wear something more casual.

If you feel uncomfortable such as dizziness and nausea when you come here, it may be altitude sickness. Don’t be nervous. This is normal. Go to a larger supermarket to buy canned "Rhodiola rosea" like herbal tea and drink it. It will be fine.

The ultraviolet rays here are relatively strong, so it is best to bring sunscreen, the kind that replenishes moisture, and a parasol and sunglasses. However, the weather will not be very hot, with a maximum of more than 20 degrees.

You also need to understand the customs and habits here. There are many Hui, Tibetan, and Tujia people here, so you need to understand their folk customs and taboos.

If you come to Xining, go to the Textiles, Grand Cross, Ximenmen, Shuijing Alley. It is a relatively prosperous place in Xining. There are many supermarkets and hotels, including ordinary chain hotels. Like 7 days, like home.

There are many snacks in Xining: yoghurt, stuffed skin, sheep intestine noodles, sweet pei, Sanzi, beef noodles, etc. You can eat them at the Big Food Street Food City in the Commercial Alley. I’ll go I've been here several times and it's quite authentic and the price is cheap. It's newly built and very popular.

I think the squares and parks in Xining are not very good, so I won’t talk about them here.

After you transfer to Xining City, you can go to Kumbum Monastery to see the AAAA-level scenic spot. It is a large-scale Tibetan Buddhist temple with good scenery and facilities. Then you can go to Qinghai Lake.

There are many scenic spots around, for example: Jinyin Beach, Riyue Mountain, Princess Wencheng Temple, Daotang River, Mengda Tianchi, Beishan Forest Park, Laohu Valley, Yaozi Valley, and many more. Ba, Black Spring Reservoir, etc. are all scenery not to be missed.

If you want to see rapeseed flowers, go to Menyuan. The rapeseed flowers there are famous, and there is also Guide. "The Yellow River Guideqing in the world" is not groundless. It is Guilin in Qinghai, with beautiful scenery, and you can also drink authentic drinks there. of highland barley wine.

As for chartering a car, you can call 114 to book a car for you. If it is just you and your BF, it is recommended that you carpool with others, which is more cost-effective.

That’s all I have to say. I hope it helps you and I hope you will adopt it. Thank you. . . PS: My hands are very tired from typing. . .
