Travel China : A Day At Qinghai Lake and Tibetan Plateau

It was supposed to be a highlight of my journey to Xining, I was not so sure why I feel this place a bit overrated for me since the travel from the City kind of almost 2.5 hours. I hired a private driver which I found from TripAdvisor even before flying to Lanzhou. Everything was pre-booked and the journey started at 7am. The old man with a gold sedan car came to fetch me. He doesn't even speak a word of English. I booked an English speaking driver. It makes a lot of difference since the price paid was for English and I received only Chinese. Haihhhh... compare to the driver whom I met the day before this trip he even offered to bring me to Qinghai Lake at almost half of the price I paid. aihhhh...too late to cancel though! I decided to just accept and try to enjoy myself throughout the journey. The journey kind of scenic and with yellow rapeseed flower everywhere and at some of the grassland, I can see some Yaks having a feast. Toilet break kind of very challen

Travel China : Kumbum Monastrey , Tuluo Temple and Dongguan Grand Mosque at Xining

My initial plan is to take the Lanzhou - Xinjiang High-Speed Train and along the way, I could enjoy the Gobi desert, grasslands and a snow-covered mountain view. Well, in reality...I only manage to take the train up to Xining. What can I do? I may love to travel. But my time is limited because I still have a work commitment.  I am not like some people who have a thick face to get others to finance their travelling. I can't afford to quit or even take longer leave from work. Anyway, I consider myself blessed compare to other people who don't even get the chance to leave their home country. Since this is not my first time taking the high-speed train in China, so I was mentally prepared in everything. Even to the extent not much of the English language and more important be more alert to the surrounding. I usually bought the train ticket in advance through the online platform such as trip.com, then collect at the physical ticket at the train station counter.
