Although I highly recommend the ancient construction enthusiasts, that is the real monument, correction shock"Xining23.6km from downtownHighlights: Kumbum Monastery (also called Ta'er Temple) is a Tibetan gompa with more than 400 years of history. Located in Xining's Huangzhong County, it belongs to the Gelug (or Yellow) School of Tibetan Buddhism. Kumbum Monastery has a number of ancient buildings including the main hall, Scripture Hall, Buddha Pagoda, and academy. At the center of the monastery complex, visitors will find the Dajinwa (Great Golden Tile) Temple. According to legend, this temple was erected on the site where Je Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelug School, was born. A visit to Kumbum is not complete without taking the time to see and appreciate the butter sculptures, the murals, and the elaborate embroidery. The entire temple complex is full of magnificent buildings and rich treasures. However, the true charm of the complex lies in its holy atmosphere. It is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Xining.Show Less - 8.04.7/52763 Reviewbased on 48 reviews"600 meters 🟰 the world's longest and Guinness-record Tangka painting 🆒 took 27 years, gold and silver pearl onyx coral pine cinnamon mineral pigments made, including myth stories, urban architecture and city life, a total length of 618 meters of Tangka art painting, pay tribute to the true craftsman spirit."Xining.Biological Park Area8.5km from downtownHighlights: The Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum is also known as the Tibetan Medicine Culture Museum.

There are many cultural relics with characteristics of Qinghai and the Great Northwest in the museum, which are worth seeing."Xining.Commercial Lane2.5km from downtownHighlights: Qinghai Provincial Museum is located at Xinning Square in Xining City. Although it is not large among provincial museums, it is also a good place to learn about Qinghai's history and cultures of various ethnic groups. In addition, there are exhibitions and explanations of Tibetan Buddhism and Islamic cultural systems in the museum, which are very helpful for later tours in Qinghai. Visit Overview The museum mainly has two floors, but the first floor is now rented by some units, and there are also some shops selling handicrafts and other souvenirs. Occasionally there will be temporary exhibitions on the first floor, if you encounter them, you can visit them. The permanent exhibition area is located on the second floor and is mainly divided into two parts, the Qinghai Historical Relics Exhibition and the Qinghai Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition. It takes about an hour and a half to browse the two exhibition halls. Historical and Cultural Relics Exhibition Qinghai Historical and Cultural Relics Exhibition is an exhibition of the history of Qinghai in a chronological manner. Follow the indicated passages to visit, and you can watch the Qinghai cultural relics from ancient times to the present. The exhibition is divided into two parts: prehistoric civilization and historical relics.
