    If you are on your way, you can come here. It is a bit tiring to come here specially. The road to the scenic area is under construction. If the car has a low chassis, it is easy to bump into it. You need to drive or charter a car. The bus is not convenient. The ticket price is 30. The scenery of the reservoir is good. The mountains and water meet. There is only one grotto, which is also newly renovated at the back.

    The White Pagoda Temple's historical significance outweighs its tourist value. For a history enthusiast, this is a must-see, as it bears witness to Tibet's annexation to China and provides the best evidence that Tibet has been part of China since ancient times. The temple is quiet, and you can circumambulate the pagoda. The museum is also worth a visit.

    The Wuwei Confucian Temple was first built in the Ming Dynasty, nearly 600 years ago. It is the largest Confucian temple in Northwest China, hailed as the "Crown of Confucian Temples in Longyou," and one of the three major Confucian temples in the country. It consists of three parts: the Confucian Temple itself, the Wenchang Palace, and the Confucian Academy. Only the ruins of the Confucian Academy remain today. Most notably, it features forty-four plaques, masterpieces by calligraphers from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period.

    Friends who like history are worth recommending. The hometown of the famous bronze galloping horse. The specific owner of the Han tomb is only known to be a general named Zhang. The treasures of the bronze galloping horse can be seen at the Gansu Museum.

    It is known as the first snow peak in life, because it is the closest snow peak to the city more than 5 kilometers. Traffic is a big advantage. From Xining, it is very convenient to take the Zhangwen Expressway or the 227 provincial road. The good thing is that the attractions are free and only need a shuttle bus for 25 yuan. The fly in the ointment is that there is only a small amount of snow at the end of the arrival, which is a little disappointing. I heard that if you want to climb the snowy mountain, you must issue a specific inspection report and a professional mountaineering certificate.

    This Tibetan culture museum is definitely worth visiting. It has a very long Thangka painting that's over 600 meters long. It's also great for taking photos. It's a place worth coming to, but there is an entrance fee. Book your tickets in advance.

    The Dongguan Grand Mosque in Xining City is a rare and solemn building. The nine gold-plated regular script characters "Xining Budongguan Grand Mosque" are inscribed on the middle door lintel, and the inside and outside of the other door lintels are inscribed with gold-plated Arabic classic quotations. The "Hundred-Character Praise" inscribed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, for mosques across the country is preserved in the temple and is embedded in the wall of the middle door, which is worth seeing.

    A worthwhile museum offers a window into Qinghai's history and culture. To explore Qinghai and the plateau, start at the Qinghai Provincial Museum. The museum displays artifacts from across the province, including brocades, silks, gold, silver, and bronze artifacts unearthed from the Reshui Tombs in Dulan, painted pottery from the Liuwan Tombs, 4,000-year-old Lajia noodle containers and noodles, the first bronze mirror and tile end from the Guinan grasslands, Panxiu from the Rainbow Homeland, row lanterns from the ancient city of Danger, and Qutan artifacts from the imperial monasteries. The exquisite craftsmanship is breathtaking and unforgettable.
