    Private Day Trip to Ta’er Monastery and Lake Kokonor

    14 Hours

    Embark on an exclusive private day tour from Xining to uncover Qinghai’s spiritual gems and natural wonders. Your journey commences at Ta’er Monastery, a revered landmark of Tibetan Buddhism. Here, you’ll marvel at vivid murals, gilded temple halls, and sacred ceremonial practices, while your knowledgeable English-speaking guide shares insights into the monastery’s centuries-old Buddhist legacy.
    Continuing onward, you’ll venture to Lake Kokonor (Qinghai Lake)—China’s largest inland saltwater lake, celebrated for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, sprawling grasslands, and seasonal array of wildlife. Take leisurely strolls along the lakeshore and soak in the tranquil, awe-inspiring beauty of the Tibetan Plateau.
    Blending rich cultural heritage with spectacular natural landscapes, this day trip delivers an indelible snapshot of Qinghai. It’s the ideal choice for travelers in search of genuine cultural encounters and breathtaking scenery that will linger in your memories.

    Itinerary Quick Look

    Stop 1: Ta’er Monastery (Juban Old Alley, Huangzhong County, China)

    As one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most sacred and influential monasteries, Ta’er Monastery invites travelers to immerse themselves in the living traditions of Tibetan culture. Wander through its grand halls and golden-gabled temples, spin the sacred prayer wheels, and gain profound insights into centuries of unbroken Buddhist heritage—all while soaking in the monastery’s spiritual ambiance.
    Duration: 2 hours

    Stop 2: Lake Kokonor (151km from National Highway 109, Qinghai-Tibet Highway, Xining, China)

    The scenery at Lake Kokonor shifts with the seasons: spot migratory birds taking refuge here, admire endless fields of blooming rapeseed, or watch local Tibetan yaks grazing gently along the shoreline. Choose to stroll leisurely or cycle along the lakeside, explore charming Tibetan villages, and connect with the warm hospitality of the local people. This serene sanctuary offers a peaceful escape and a vivid window into the unique landscapes and age-old traditions of the Tibetan Plateau.
