Shuijing Lane Market
Known as the busiest place in Xining, Shuijing Lane is clearly divided into three areas: snack street, specialty street, and Tibetan ornament street. You can directly go to the shop you want to visit. The saffron shops offer various small items such as jewelry and shawls, while the specialty street mainly wholesales saffron, goji berries, and cordyceps. The goods here are abundant and diverse, so it is recommended to take a look. However, the quality of some products varies, and it is difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake pine nuts and cordyceps. If you are not familiar with them, it is not recommended to purchase them on your own.
