Xining: Ta'er Monastery and Mojia Street

Xining is a stop worth making a special stop in Xiaduli. For 2 days and 1 night, between Ta'er Monastery and Dongguan Mosque, encounter the unique atmosphere of Xining.

The first impression Xining gives is almost always from Ta'er Monastery. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.

When it comes to Xining, locals usually first mention the Dongguan Mosque. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the gateway to an entire section of life.

The suburbs of Qinghai Lake hide another side of Xining. With less crowding from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become part of this place.

If you have the energy, take a stroll around Mojia Street. There's no standard answer there, only your own pace, which fits your itinerary perfectly.

Xining taught me one thing: you don't have to chase every sight, just as Ta'er Monastery taught me—the best scenery is always where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
