Located north of Tibet, Qinghai, a vast land in northwestern China that is even bigger than many countries in the world, towers over 3,000 meters on the Tibetan Plateau, boasting a bold, vibrant high-altitude wilderness and otherworldly beauty. Encompassing rolling snow-topped mountains, crystal-clear salt lakes with scenic cycling trails, roaming yaks across the vast steppe, and the Gobi desert, Qinghai also offers an authentic ethnic culture immersion, as it is speckled with Tibetan Buddhist shrines with prayer flags, Islamic mosques, and Mongolian nomadic yurts. Follow our English-guided private Qinghai tours and all can be tailored for you!
