Xining

People of the bustling cities will find peace, fresh air and idyllic surroundings on the Qinghai-Tibet highland. The fluffy white clouds, pure blue sky and vast grasslands on which flocks of sheep and herds of yaks are grazing is quite the opposite of how China is depicted. One of the provinces located in China's Northwest is Qinghai province, of which Xining is the capital.

Situated at the northeast of Qinghai province, Xining lies at the junction of the Lanzhou–Qinghai and the Qinghai–Tibet railways with the best transportation connections in the region.
