Xining, known as Siling in Tibetan, Xining is one of the major gateways to the Tibetan Plateau. It is an ancient highland city on the Yellow River which offers many scenic spots and historical sites. Although the city has a strong Islamic flavor, as it is home to many Hui people, you will start getting a more Tibetan feel as you move away from the city. Xining has a history of over 2,100 yearsand was a chief commercial hub on the Hexi Corridor caravan route to Tibet, handling especially timber, wool and salt in ancient times. Just outside the city are many famous monasteries, national parks, and nomadic grasslands worth visiting.
