Discover Qinghai: Tours Within and Around Qinghai 2026/2027
Qinghai, the "Land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau," is a realm of sapphire lakes, snow-draped peaks, and nomadic traditions. Nestled in northwest China, it cradles the headwaters of Asia's major rivers and offers a wild, untamed beauty that has long fascinated explorers and pilgrims alike.
Natural & Cultural Treasures: Witness Qinghai Lake, China's largest saltwater lake, where migratory birds and yaks graze against a backdrop of endless blue. Explore Kumbum Monastery (Ta'er Si), a Tibetan Buddhist gem adorned with gilded statues and thangka murals, or trek through Sanjiangyuan National Park—the "Source of Three Rivers" (Yangtze, Yellow, and Mekong). Marvel at the "Sky Mirror" of Chaka Salt Lake and the otherworldly canyons of Kanbula National Forest Park. Don't miss the nomadic culture of Haixi, where yurts dot the grasslands and the Nadam Festival showcases horse racing and archery.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
