Live: In the Xining Railway Station you take a road car (or taxi 4 yuan), to be built in West Street West Street Silver Guest House, or the construction of the Yangtze River Road intersection Silver Hotel (Xining people know that) accommodation, cheap and clean. We live in people's way of Venus hostels, standard of 50 yuan (of course, is the result of the threshold value of bitter after the price). But the water is not very abundant.
Eat: You stay next to a famous snack street - Water of Underground. Mostly skewer like Xinjiang flavor, there are a few little southern flavor, as well as used to sell fruit and vegetables, inexpensive volume is sufficient.
Tip: 1. The potato chips from Beijing to bring pressure difference due to problems in Yinchuan, soon after a burst. His voice loud, brake is exciting.
2. The train on a one-time rental VCD and selling slippers, the flight attendants carefully thoughtful.
D3: Xining - Qinghai Lake 151
Car: In the bag near the train station had a 12 Toyota, 750 yuan (drivers, self-care accommodation, including parking fees), a two-day round-trip, and includes the Tar Monastery. Travel about 4 hours, pull the chicken through 3820 meters and 3510 meters of the sun and the moon pass pass, there had been degraded into a foul ditch the "person name" daotanghe.
Accommodation: accountant hotel. Four human 20 / person, according to bed count. Burning heating at night. May be a bath, but the water very cold, and even brushing teeth is a challenge.
Eat: go straight out from the hotel clerk, and then turn left, restaurants are very high (10 yuan vegetables, meat dish dozens of million). Noodle Daoshi cheaper. Where the characteristics of Qinghai yak yogurt snacks and sweet grains, you can try.
Play: Riyue and Qinghai Lake are (from the wings to go into bypass) can not buy a ticket. Qinghai Lake are riding (20 yuan / 30 minutes, half-way substitutions plus 10 million) and camels. Horses are more willing to run and obedient.
Tip: 1. Qinghai Lake was cold at night, it is recommended with a thick Bodysuits and Qiuku.
2. Where an elevation of 3,200, a slight altitude sickness.
3.7,8 month, the lake opened Masamori of rape, is burning the beauty of film.
4. Strong reflection lake, pay attention to sun protection (ear, nose). Feet with the lake had blisters after the use of water washed, or prone to getting infections.
D4: Qinghai Lake - Tar - Xining Play: Tar tickets for 30 yuan, there is no student ticket. If you do not came in homes, they do not buy a ticket. Si Wai also sell souvenirs and perils, but the prices are too high, we must adhere to the Labrang Monastery buy.
D5: Xining - Labrang Monastery (D6 not pull cold)
Car: 7:15 Linxia the bus bound from Xining (preferably one day earlier bought their tickets to 34.30 yuan, according to Block, seat number. There are time was 8:15 of the.) 3 pm to clinical Xiaxi station. A taxi to the South Station (surface 4 million). The public sector must take the vehicle (Qijunanzhan, last bus 16:10). Do not take a private car, Linxia liar extremely high. But the buses in cities in the Linxia onto the 6,7 circle, until the sold-out before heading Xiahe. Provincial Highway is currently under renovation, it is Britain, the event demolition of a mountain may be delayed 3 hours, but infrequently. Normal, then three hours can go. Tickets 14.5 yuan.
Live: It is recommended to live in close proximity inside Labrang Monastery, close to overseas hotels or Droma hotels, double room 60, four human 60. (Public bathroom, toilet). It was a place frequented by foreigners, owner, extension, therefore it is the passenger and the store is very clean, hot water at any time, it also provides laundry services. But the two stores only Tibetan and English, I believe you can deal with it. On the right, you can also rent a bike it. 10 yuan / day. Another postal guest houses, guest houses, Armed Forces are good, the price cheaper. But it seems slightly worse mood.
Eat: Linxia station next to a shop selling yak milk, 2 yuan a pound. Yogurt is also very cheap. Tibetans is open, a bit dirty. But does not affect the taste of milk.
I could not pull Leng Temple Temple has sold halal scones, and a pound more than the face even greater can be stored, tastes OK. Overseas Chinese Hotel, opposite a food franchise in northern Henan people hold the "Feng Ze Yuan" (a time-honored Beijing shop reputation very consistent), there is soy milk porridge steamed buns cooking and the like, is a good place for northerners. Dishes are not expensive, that is poor taste. The Special Recommendation 0.5 / a tea eggs, great. Should there be a drawer base large steamed buns, and owner, will automatically be a sale. But friends do not have appetite to eat dumplings there to ensure that at the meeting when. Kebab night supper of course, indispensable. In addition, the Overseas Chinese Hotel, coffee seems to be washed with milk, wool, and taste good. Dolma tuck shops are Nestle chocolate and instant coffee, there are many other shops do not sell a good Dongdong.
Play: 1. If you do not enter the monastery's room may not buy a ticket, temple is open daily and in different places, so two days is wise. But the ticket is valid for one day. Tickets for 16, even made a postcard:)
2. Sangkecaoyuan playing surface to each triple. 20 minutes. Must pay attention to where the horse, they are holding horse (loose reins will charge the 10 yuan), with only 20 minutes you go back, that is 1 hour and 21 yuan, in fact 35 minutes as you money. As long as you feet fall, they will need money, if you encounter this situation immediately sat up to one hour in the give money. Horse riding is not recommended. Prairie trampling charge 5 yuan per person, student 3 yuan.
Shopping: Labrang Monastery is a haven for accommodation, but not be shopping. Only one is called: Xiahe sirrab D7 cold national knife supplies stores for shopping, it felt out the other side of the plain people. A price, the price is low so you do not have the heart to draw price. (Identification Methods: Temple out of the right hand side go down very far across the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The owner, named Wang Zhankui, is a back and forth over the sixties. Menlian hangs many advanced certificate of self-employed.)
Tip: 1. Overseas Chinese Hotel receptionist was a very enthusiastic and real Tibetans, there can not understand he was consulted.
2. Tibetans who want you to think about more than money, when, suddenly could not understand Mandarin, and not to be deceived them.
3. Promising vegetable before eating, there is no list of the stores do not enter.
4. 11:10 noon start by lamas in the Great Hall activities (I have seen is the one. Chanting 2. Tea 3. Wages 4. Laugh - may be a self-cultivation), it is best to see you see, quite spectacular.
D7: Labrang Monastery - Langmusi (D9 OR D??? Long he will stay with you to decide)
Car: Take the car from the Labrang Monastery bound for co-operation, the earliest is 6:10 start (9 million), there are 7 points more (13 million). One hour ten minutes to the co-operation. Can be a taxi to the summer residence and station (1 yuan / person), walk and go, but for 15 minutes. Again in co-transfer of the car bound for Diebu (20 million). 9:40 start in the afternoon around 14:30 to. Get off there Langmusi open to take you to the Leap hop Langmusi, 1 yuan a person. (Block tractors are Britain, perhaps the only time in life)
Living: living in Langmusi hotel (15 / person, public bathroom toilet, but not clean, will fight gender-neutral rooms, the master is a hospitable Tibetans, very enthusiastic about), or the territory of Sichuan Langmusi ticket opposite of benevolence Green Hotel . (Clean, cheap, four human 20 per person, double room 30 / person, 50 / people with a bathroom).
Eat: 1. Langmusi is a small village, Hui Tibetans live mixing. Restaurants mostly Muslim's. Have sold large meat restaurant. Ren Qing floor hotel restaurant good, fairly authentic taste of food, price is not expensive and clean.
2. Is located in Gansu term lisha bridge cafe minor celebrity. Already heard there is the best apple pie eating, until we went, only to find chocolate cake and yak milk yogurt is delicious. Yogurt with honey to eat and memorable.
Play: Like with all of the Temple, entered the house only as proof of ticket.
1. Sichuan Langmusi 5 (visits votes, you can visit the Grand Mosque in the morning) +3 (visit flesh). Effectively in a multi-day ticket. Fairy Cave and Bailong source not vote, there is a good place for a picnic.
2. Gansu Langmusi 10 yuan, student tickets 6 yuan (actually is a set of postcards). Tianzang Tai (30 minutes away from the foot of the mountain road) another ticket. 7 yuan. But the female monks are reading Tian Zangtai you later fierce force you to buy a ticket. You do not buy that she is called human hands, which was very unreasonable. They dare to swear in front of the Buddha's face telling lies. We must beware of these evil people.
3. Langmusi 30 kilometers away from the hot springs there can be chartered to go to 1.5 hours to go to.
4. Into the village might encounter enthusiastic Tibetans, they ask you to meals, drink milk, but also to see the Tibetan mastiff it.
Shopping: Temple has experienced the baptism of pull is not cold, I believe you are right Langmusi of Dongdong was a commonplace. However, the village has a silver shop, you can go and see.
Tip: 1. Local children have good English, very warm, like the camera.
2. Lamas are also strong economic sense. "No camera, camera one," Lama is still in the village seemed to work.
3. If time is tight, try not to point of cooking, stores would send the first grocery shopping, then cooking. Rice also temporary so.
4. Many foreigners here, their city to go LISHA, coffee. If you want to practice a foreign language, you find the right place.
In addition, many are also frequented Mix, where you can meet many friends, and together with chartered, or ride to the Ruoergai or Maqu.
5. If you're lucky will see the burial, we saw students, reportedly not very sick. But she cried, and did not eat lunch.
6. Elevation 3400, rainy chest tightness. When the sun hot.
7. The Langmusi the afternoon can be chartered to the hot spring bath, wash away one's fatigue. The next day temple tour the two provinces.
Proposed Duodai some time in the mountain scenery around the village well. This is a block can be meditation place.
8. Lamas who would beat people to be careful.
9. Gansu Langmusi wells outside the Church there is a commemorative plaque, which reads: not allowed by the Church as the great photos. funny
D10: Langmusi - Lanzhou cars: 1. Langmusi are sent to the co-operation vehicle, although not a public transport company, but it is also 20. The quality of service can still be. 7:00 start at the Langmusi hotels under the best hotel owner set the day before to find parking spaces, the car is not at full strength after the more a person. Prior to 12 noon.
2. Must not buy directly from the co-operation in Lanzhou, the ticket because the ticket seller to sell you 30 yuan ticket, saying that to go to Lanzhou, but in fact the car to a Linxia (again is the ghost place), with the car will let you change You take another one bound for Lanzhou, Linxia car, and keeps all apparent seriousness, because of the guarantee that you do not have the money transfer and then be submitted to vote. Nonetheless, as you get on Linxia car bound for Lanzhou, and after the start near the car as the conductor (in fact, see at a glance is a gang of bullies) who let you buy a ticket, 20 yuan each, if you are, and their theories They will secretly wounding, threats to you (they are a group of several). Sometimes do not look for small change. If you have a skill, you can, and their threshold value. They gave tickets are expired, and this confirmed that this is a group of rogue better. This is how we cheated, the car good or 20055. Therefore, you must start from Cooperation to Linxia, Linxia buy a ticket to Lanzhou in the bundle. Linxia crook give you gas nowhere hair.
To live: We lived in Hualian train station opposite the hotel. 4 Suite 120 (Kandao 100), there are bathrooms, there is hot water. There are 88 three-human, it seems there are even more expensive. Of course, there are more expensive. There is also room to provide part-time basis.
