There is a lot of information about Ta'er Monastery, so I'll just tell you the best way to visit. After entering through the ticket gate, you will first see the Eight Treasures Ruyi Pagoda, followed by the inner courtyard. It is recommended not to take the main road; instead, take the side path to the Panchen Palace, go against the flow, and then return to the main road. This way, it won't be crowded, and you can see the panoramic view first. If you have enough time, you can wander around freely.
Qinghai Lake
I don't need to say much, the beauty of Qinghai Lake has fascinated many people. Especially in summer, the golden rapeseed flowers on the shore, combined with the blue lake water, blue sky, and white clouds, create an intoxicating natural picture. The rapeseed flowers by Qinghai Lake start to bloom at the end of June, peak in July, wither in August, and some are planted by herdsmen in September and October, adding sporadic touches.
Jinyintan Grassland
This place is very close to Xining. In summer, herds of cattle and sheep can be seen, and shepherds ride horses to graze on the vast grassland. Wildflowers are everywhere, and the scenery is particularly beautiful.
Atomic City
Located at the edge of the Jinyintan Grassland, it is the starting point of the Qinghai Lake Cycling Race. In summer, the surrounding area is filled with bicycles.
Guide National Geopark
