Water Well Lane Market
Known as the liveliest Shuijing Lane in Xining, it is divided into three distinct areas: Snack Street, Specialty Street, and Tibetan Decorations Street. You can directly go to the shop you want to buy from. The saffron shop sells various accessories like jewelry and shawls, while the Specialty Street mainly wholesales saffron, goji berries, and cordyceps. The goods here are diverse, so I recommend everyone to take a look. However, the quality of some products is uneven, and it is difficult to distinguish between Qing Song (a type of mushroom) and cordyceps. If you are not familiar with them, I do not recommend buying them on your own.
Wangfujing Department Store
Wangfujing in Beijing has opened a branch in Xining, located in the bustling downtown area of Xining. It is considered the largest department store in the local area. The mall has two branches, A and B, where both domestic and international high-end and popular brands are available. The basement of B branch is Wangfujing Supermarket, where you can buy specialties from Northwest China such as goji berries, yak meat, and roasted barley.
Limen Commercial Alley
Every city has a commercial pedestrian street, and Xi'ning Liming Commercial Street is a favorite place for local people to visit. In addition to large commercial complexes such as Guofang Department Store, Textile Department Store Building, Xinhua Department Store, and LoShang Urban Square, there are also many specialty shops, restaurants, and bars. When you get tired of walking, you can choose a place you like to sit and rest, and recharge.
