The best season to travel to Qinghai in 2025 is summer, from June to August. The temperatures are cool, but be aware of significant temperature differences between day and night, so pack plenty of layers. The local weather is dry and the air is thin, so we recommend bringing moisturizer, lip balm, and sunscreen. Also, be mindful of potential altitude sickness in some areas.

When traveling to Xining, you should be prepared for altitude sickness and it is recommended to bring warm clothing and sun protection. Due to the large diurnal temperature variations, carrying a thick jacket is essential. Additionally, please respect the customs and traditions of the local ethnic minorities, such as refraining from smoking and drinking inside mosques. As the salt lake water can be corrosive, it is recommended to bring shoe covers to protect your feet.

Xining Station is located about 5 kilometers from the center of Xining city and opened in 1959. It is an important station managed by China Railway Qinghai-Tibet Group Co., Ltd. Currently, there is a subway operating within Xining city, offering convenient transportation options for tourists.

Xining is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and some scenic spots are at high altitudes.
