Xining yogurt is indeed well-deserved and very delicious. ?
The Kumbum Monastery is a complex of buildings. There are no tickets sold to enter the temple area. Each temple collects separate tickets. If you are only interested in its architecture and religious atmosphere, you don’t need to buy tickets. ?
To go to Kumbum Monastery, it is recommended to take a taxi from the management station. If there are 4 people, you can leave. Chartering a taxi is 20 yuan. It's much faster and only 1 yuan more expensive per person than the minibus. ?
The tea provided by various hotels in Xining has salt in it, which is quite unaccustomed to me. You need to inform us in advance that no salt is added to the tea. ?
The Post Hotel is indeed worth recommending, it is affordable and has good service. There are also disadvantages, the shower water is too small; it is close to the train station and the noise is loud.
