This place is absolutely (possibly the most) worthy of its hype and online popularity on the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop. It's breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairyland. Just be mindful of the weather (cloudy days will significantly diminish the scenery) and be careful about water (although there are shoe covers for going into the lake, leaks can still occur).

Worth to visit if you are travelling to Xining. Go to South Hall instead of the free North Hall to see the cultural displays. The QR code caused us some trouble as there were 3 places that you need to scan the code. But once you scan it will showed used and will be barred from entering the other 2 locations. The staffs were friendly and quickly manually let us in.

Kumbum Monastery is famous for two main reasons. First, its location is close to Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province, only 28 kilometers away, making it easily accessible to travelers with excellent service. Second, it is the birthplace of Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, for whom a large silver stupa was built. Later, a monastery was built around the stupa, which was then directly named Kumbum Monastery. It's a vast complex, built against the mountainside, very majestic. Walking among it, experiencing Tibetan Buddhism, and watching the Tibetan people prostrating themselves in devout worship, you'll feel somewhat mesmerized. 😂

The bus costs 60 yuan per person, and the ride is really long, haha. The colors of the scenic area are beautiful, very beautiful. You must go when the weather is good, otherwise it's not really green or emerald green.

The Water Yadan is beautiful, and it largely met my expectations. Overall, it was a good experience and quite good. It met my expectations in most aspects and is worth recommending. I might choose it again in the future, and I hope to have an even better experience next time.

The water level is low in winter, but there are also fewer people, which is quite nice. The scenery is beautiful, better than Chaka Salt Lake, and you can get closer to the water there as well. There are pools of various colors. Hiking among the pools is very pleasant.

Mr. Ren was enthusiastic and interesting, and introduced a lot of interesting information along the way. Although Chaka Salt Lake was dry in winter, and Riyue Mountain and Qinghai Lake were also very cold, it was still a very unique one-day trip overall. The other travelers were also very nice. It was more than expected to visit so many places in one day!

The park exhibits over 180 species and more than 3,000 wild animals, making it the world's only zoo that integrates captive-bred populations of snow leopards, Himalayan vultures, and Pallas's cats. Guests can see rare animals unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as snow leopards, Tibetan antelopes, and wild yaks, as well as introduced species like hippos and giraffes.

The Qinghai-Tibet border landscape is breathtaking, the fluttering prayer flags create a wonderful atmosphere, and the legend of Princess Wencheng adds to the charm! A must-see for anyone passing through, the scenery is magnificent, the Tibetan culture is rich, and the price is great!

The hotel does not have a navigation system, so it is best to ask the hotel staff before going. The staff was very attentive and even upgraded us to a larger RV for free, which was very nice (｡•̀ᴗ-)
