Beauty Of Xining---西宁延时丨向西，神秘而宁静的地方

4 Minutes in Xining，QingHai China
For my hometown,Xining
Xining has a history of over 2100 years[1] and was a chief commercial hub on the Hexi Corridor caravan route to Tibet, handling especially timber, wool and salt in ancient times. The trade along the Hexi Corridor was part of a larger trade corridor along the Northern Silk Road, whose use was intensified in the first century BC after efforts by the Han Dynasty to control this route.[2]
Under the Han dynasty (206 BC--AD 220) a county there called Linqiang controlled the local Qiang tribesmen. It was again a frontier county under the Sui (581--618) and Tang (618--907) dynasties; during the 7th and early 8th centuries it was a center of constant warfare with the Tuyuhun and (later) the Tibetan peoples. In 763 it was overrun by the Tibetans and while under Tibetan control was known to the Chinese as Qingtangcheng. Recovered by the Song dynasty in 1104, it received the name Xining (meaning peace in the west) and has been the seat of a prefecture or superior prefecture under that name since that time. With the rise of Tibetan Buddhism (Lamaism), which began in the 7th century AD, Xining became an important religious center; Qinghai's largest lamasery, a holy place to the Yellow Hat sect of Buddhists, was located at Kunbum, some 19 km to the southeast.
Xining has also been dubbed the Summer Resort Capital of China owing to its cool summer, with a cold semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk). Conditions are influenced by the aridity and high altitude. Lows are cold or cool throughout the year, and highs are often more than 15 °C (27 °F) warmer than lows. Monthly daily averages range from −7.4 °C (18.7 °F) in January to 17.3 °C (63.1 °F) in July; the year averages at 6.1 °C (43.0 °F). Rainfall falls mainly from May to September, and the area is often dry and sunny, with nearly 2680 hours of bright sunshine per year

If you are thinking about visiting western China, you should definitely consider Qinghai Lake. At just 150km (a 2.5 hour drive) from Xining to Qinghai Lake, this makes a great day trip for those stopping over in Xining to catch the train from Xining to Lhasa. Qinghai Lake also has enough wild nomadic culture, hiking, and horse trekking to offer 3-5 days of exploration if you have a little more time.

This is China's largest salt lake at 3,200 meters in elevation and and the remote grasslands here are home to authentic Tibetan culture for those looking from everything from riding a white yak to bird migrations and Tibetan yak yoghurt.

MUSLIM WOMEN CAN'T DO WHAT IN CHINA?? / Xining Day 1

On the last day of Ramadan we were still in the northwestern Chinese city of Xining. We first visited a Tibetan market, and then headed to the famous Dongguan Mosque for breaking the fast and evening prayers. Things, however, did not go as expected. The way how women are treated in many Islamic societies is awful and far-reaching. This has nothing to do with the religion itself, but instead with misogynistic patriarchal structures, that are a global problem. To find out what happened, and how it all ended, please hear me out.

This is an in depth travel guide about this beautiful mirror lake in Qinghai province: focussing on how to get there from Xining, how much it costs to visit and what to expect when you get there. This place is pretty far off the beaten track, so it requires time and patience to get there. But is it actually worth visiting?

SUBJECTS TO SKIP TO (Table of Contents):

0:33 - How to get to Chaka Salt Lake
We took a flight from Kunming in Yunnan province with China Eastern Airlines to Xining - the closest major city to the lake. From there you have the option of taking a 4 hour train from Xining Railway Station or a bus/private transfer.

1:40 - What to expect at Chaka Salt Lake
The pictures you've seen on social media probably accurately show what the experience at Chaka is like. There aren't many wester tourists, but it very popular with domestic ones. We also look at the tourist train ride and how to best enjoy your time there.

4:25 - The Problem with Chaka Salt Lake
In 2016, Chaka was closed down due to pollution caused by over-tourism. In this chapter, we go into the causes of that.

5:14 - Final Thoughts
My final feelings and tips about how to enjoy Chaka in the right way and thoughts on the future of it.

Long Treks CHINA (Qinghai, Xining - Sichuan, Chengdu) - Episode 3

Howdy folks, my 3rd and Last Episode of SKATE China. This is a SOLO trip, just myself. I wanted to explore SOLO distance skating travel. After completing the Murray River solo Feb. 2012, I kind of like traveling alone. This is a raw, self filmed account of my 3 weeks skating / hitch hiking journey from Xining China to Chengdu China. No music to entertain you or Aaron playing his strum stick, just the wind, and my horrible singing, hahaha. There are going to be a total of 3 episodes, each released every week, I promise. I have them all done so it shall be easy to release them. I hope this video inspires you all to travel and challenge yourself may it be solo or with a group. You all are inspiration to me and returning it to you all. I still have to finish up Long Treks morocco, my bad, 2 more episode left in that series.
