City Tour 56-Xining

Time: 20240712-20240714 Originally, I would come to Xining every eight to ten years. This is my third time. The Big Buddha Temple has a history of more than a thousand years and is located in the center of the Big Cross. Next to it is the Xining branch of the Panchen Lama's main temple, Tashilhunpo Monastery. If you want to see them, remember to go through the doorway. 1 I didn’t expect there to be so many people at the Provincial Museum. Personally, I think the biggest highlight is Majiayao. 2 The entrance is Xinning Square, where you can see the art gallery on the other side and the TV tower in the distance. 3 Luckily, I met Mr. Li at Chenghuang Temple. He not only enthusiastically explained the story but also gave me some fruit. The gods in City God Temple are all local, called “Tuo Di” in Cantonese and “Local” in English, and are different in each place. The person being worshipped here is Deng Xun, who lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty and is the direct ancestor of Comrade Xiaoping. 4 Gongchen Gate was first built in the Ming Dynasty and was rebuilt in its original form in 2007. 5 What I want to visit most this time is the Plateau Wildlife Park. Many species can only be seen here, such as the manul. 6 It was my first time seeing a snow leopard, and I was a little excited, but why did it look so fierce? I just shouted and looked at the camera. 7 This is the first time I have seen a lynx. I didn’t expect it to be so big. I want to keep one. 8 In the wild animal area, you can overlook the brown bear and the entire city at the same time. 9 Wenhui Bridge has a lot of content. In addition to crossing the Huangshui River, there is the Xijiao Amusement Park and Wetland Park under the bridge. 10 The new city center is nearby, and it is the first time I have walked into Wangfujing Group’s “Elephant City”. What? You want to confront China Resources head-on? But the popularity is average. 11 The "Tang Dao" next to it is much more prosperous and more distinctive. 12 Seeing Kunlun Bridge means we are back in the city center. 13 Nanshan is too big, and the Nanchan Temple at the foot of the mountain is also not small. 14 It was first built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and many of its palaces were preserved during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. 15 It is the oldest Han Buddhist temple in Qinghai Province. 16 Qingtang City was a capital city built by a small Tibetan warlord named "Zuosiluo". It was built at the same time as Nanchan Temple and is now a small park. 17 After 6pm, Hongjue Temple was closed, so I had to go to the Jinta Temple across the street to take a look. The center of the old city has always been the territory of Tibetan Buddhism. 18
