China Expat


Xining

Xining City


Xining is the capital of Qinghai province, and a great stopover for a visit to China's largest inland lake, Qinghaihu, a bird watchers paradise.

Just in Case: Xining


 

 

You know you're on the fringes of China when you see lots of land and few people on it. Such is Qinghai, lonely buffer province between "China proper" and the exotic realms of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Mongolia. But its relegated status belies a fascinating history, and a culture unmatched for diversity anywhere else in the Middle Kingdom [at least ethnographically]. Its capital, Xining, is the only city in Qinghai with over a million people. For the cosmopolite, Xining is a stop-over on the way to Lhasa. For the urban frontiersman, it is a holdout against global conformity, a perfect jumping off point into a long simmering stew of cultural richness and nature at her most starkly magnificent.

Buses from Xining


The long-distance bus station is on Jianguo Lu near the train station. Remember only Chinese nationals are allowed on the bus to Lhasa, despite the drivers who will counsel otherwise.
