This is a very special city. Because this city is in a narrow valley, and because there are many ethnic minorities in this city, three cultures of Han, Hui and Tibetan coexist. Buildings of various religions can be seen everywhere on the streets, hidden in high-rise buildings.
It's very dry here, you can feel it on the first day. I woke up the next day with a bloody nose. The weather changes dramatically, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It can be said that eating watermelon around the stove. It's cold in the morning and evening, but it's still quite warm for me, a Hebei native from the seaside. It's not as cold as others say. What do you usually wear when you are like this?
Xining is engaged in construction, and high-rise buildings, mostly high-rise residential buildings, are being built everywhere. The local people are very proud. In fact, these modern buildings don't appeal to me. I came all the way to Xining, not to see the building opposite my home.
In addition to the plateau scenery in people's minds, Xining also has splendid cultural attractions. Besides blue sky and white clouds, there are delicious northwest mutton kebabs, beef steamed buns and so on.

Dongguan Mosque is one of the most magnificent mosques that Si Tong has ever seen, and it is also the first time to see a large-scale Muslim pious prayer. Dongguan Mosque is one of the most famous mosques in the northwest of China, and it is a must for tourists who come to Qinghai to travel and understand Islamic culture.
At night, the Dongguan Mosque is brightly lit and more beautiful. Since the first day when the stone flew to Xining was 17: 00 in the afternoon, the Dongguan Mosque that night was really beautiful and spectacular. The stone was deeply attracted by the building in front of it, which was a heartfelt shock.

The Qinghai Provincial Museum has two floors, but the first floor is holding an exhibition of Qinghai's development history, achievements and future prospects. The second landlord wants to show Qinghai historical and cultural relics exhibition and Qinghai intangible cultural heritage exhibition, so that visitors can fully understand the culture of ethnic minorities, especially the Hui nationality.
Si Tong has been to many museums. Although Qinghai Provincial Museum is not as big as many other provincial museums, its cultural charm is no less than any other museum. Qinghai Provincial Museum systematically explains the display of Tibetan Buddhism and Islamic cultural system, which is a good place to learn about Qinghai culture and Tibetan Hui culture.
Qinghai is the birthplace of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and other three rivers, and the starting point of Chinese civilization. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chinese civilization originated in the northwest, so the fragile ecology of Qinghai Plateau should be protected.
The treasures of Qinghai Provincial Museum are dazzling, especially the exquisite carvings of various ceramic handicrafts, which make people admire the wisdom of ancient people in China. Qinghai is a gathering place for ethnic minorities, especially Tibetan and Hui compatriots. Of course, Qinghai Museum is also a good place to learn about minority cultures. The classics, canvases and so on of ethnic minorities have to make people feel their cultural charm. National culture and China culture together constitute a splendid China culture.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Wildlife Park is a very cost-effective wildlife park. According to the investigation in the quarry, there may not be many animals in the zoo, but there are many animals unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that cannot be seen in many zoos in Chinese mainland, such as snow leopard, Przewalski's gazelle, wild cats and wild yaks.
Besides the animals on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there are many inland animals in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Wildlife Park, such as tigers, lions, black bears, zebras and giraffes. It takes half an hour to play slowly.
The air environment in Qinghai Lake is really good, and the scenery is certainly better. With my junk photography skills, I can see the feeling like a poster. (Don't spray, don't spray) The sky blue makes you dizzy. The open lake makes you relaxed and happy!
On Qinghai Lake, we play with water and ride bicycles. Slide on the water and stare hard. The water is full of laughter! Holy places often make people comfortable and happy. In addition, there are ferries that can take you to visit Qinghai Lake and Bird Island. Unfortunately, there were not many birds in Bird Island when we went, so we didn't go to Bird Island by boat.
Xining is a strange and familiar city; Because Qinghai, a stranger, is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, far away from the eastern coastal cities; At that time, I was deeply attracted by the blue sky and white clouds in Qinghai and the grassland lakes on the plateau. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, leaving many sweet and precious photos in Xining.

Traffic strategy
As the capital city of Qinghai, it is very convenient to travel to Xining, Qinghai. Generally, big cities have direct flights to Xining. Summer vacation is the peak tourist season in Qinghai, with air tickets generally 1500 yuan and off-season generally 500 yuan. However, even so, individuals strongly recommend that tourists choose according to their actual situation.
People who travel in Qinghai usually go to Xining, the capital of Qinghai, and then take a chartered bus or other means of transportation. Xining, as the capital city of Qinghai, has developed air and train transportation. Starting from Shijiazhuang, the off-season ticket is about 550 yuan, and it takes three hours to fly. Train, starting from Nanjing, 20 hours, sleeping around 400 yuan. Personally, I suggest flying in the off-season, saving time and effort.
Stone arrived at Caojiabao Airport in Xining on time. Xining airport is much smaller than Nanjing airport. From the airport, take the airport bus to Xining Bayi Road Passenger Station, the fare is 22 yuan, and it takes 40 minutes by car. The airport bus goes to the last flight.
Visit Xining City, Qinghai Province. There are many bus lines, which is very convenient. Tourists are advised to go there by bus.
Accommodation strategy
Bai Shi Express Hotel under Jinjiang Inn (Mojia Street, Xining Dashizi) shares a restaurant with Jinjiang Inn. Breakfast 18 yuan/person. Qinghai Tourism also lived in this place two years ago, which is very close to Mojia Street. It takes ten minutes to walk. The location is particularly good and the accommodation price is not high. Suitable for students and young people who just work.
Best Express (Mojia Street, Dashizi, Xining) single room A, Tuniu prepaid, 79 yuan/night, three nights. Although the space is small, complete, clean and cost-effective, I have liked to stay at Archie Express Hotel since Stone University.
Stone tourism experience suggests that tourists should try not to choose private hotels, and safety is not guaranteed. It is recommended to choose an economical and fast hotel or a star-rated hotel.
Gourmet guide
In the evening, I mainly go to Mojia Street and nearby streets. Mojia Street is a famous snack street in Xining. What firecrackers, what stuffing, what noodles, what noodles, are very popular in Xining!
Flag noodle soup, stir-fried mutton sausage, hand-grabbed mutton.
However, I think that for a city, it is not who has been there for a long time who has the right to speak. Sometimes, we are so familiar with the surrounding environment that we often ignore its beauty. Sometimes, just like a traveler, with a pair of tourists' eyes, in a short day, you will find many beautiful things that you have never found.
