Upon arrival, you will be picked up at the airport by our guide and transferred to the "Tianniange Hotel" (4*). Xining is the capital of Qinghai Province and used to be a chief commercial hub on the caravan route to Tibet, handling especially with timber, wool and salt. The city was also the extraterritorial capital of the Koko Nor territory and remained in Gansu until 1928, when it became the capital of the newly formed Qinghai province.
