| Dear friends,have you ever been to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,known as the roof of the world? Do youwant to enjoy the wondrous sights there? Then, you are welcome to Qinghai. Xining is the provincial capital,and hence,the political, economic and cultural center of Qinghai. As early as 399 AC, the famous monk Faxian went to India in search of Buddhist scriptures by way of Xining, thenopened up the southern route of the world known as the silk road. Meanwhile,envoys and merchants from Persia also came to China along the same way. Another ancient route is the old “Tang and Tubo”road from Xining to Lhasa, capital of Tibet, along which once princess Wenchen in Tang Dynasty arrived Lhasa and married the Tibetan King Srong-btsan Sgamupo. It has left a popular story of friendship between the Han and Tibetan people since then. For those interested in religion, may go to the Big Dongguan Mosque,one of the four biggest in the Northwest China.Constructed in 1380,this mosque is in the shape of traditional Chinese palace style,graceful and immense. For those who hunt for historical sites, can climb to the Beichan Temple halfway up the Mount Beishan .First built in the Han and Wei Dynasties, you can still find vivid Buddhist murals in some caves. With the passage of time, it becomes a Taoist temple now. For those who seek in Qinghai history, the best choice is to go into Qinghai Provincial Museum. Occupying an area of 30.000sq.m. It is a key historical site under provincial protection. This museum preserved many ancient Chinese art crafts of stone, bone, pottery and bronze, including bronze seals.There are also some Persia silver coins and Buddhist sutras. For those who wish to get away from hot summer, Xining is an ideal place. The climate here is pleasant with an average temperature of 17 centigrade, more like spring than summer.
