Silk Road Tsongkha Rooms Facilities
The Silk Road Tsongkha Hotel has 32 rooms, of which 16 are Tibetan style while the rest western style. All furnishings were developed and hand-made by Kumbum's lama artists. Provisions are being made for an expansion of 100 rooms expected by 2003.
Silk Road Tsongkha Location
About 130 kilometers from Xining is Qinghai Lake, China's largest inland saltwater body. Rumor has it that dinosaurs were seen around the lake, but only fish, fowl and human sightings were confirmed. Bird Island sanctuary is another provincial attraction, featuring migrating geese.
Famous for its huge grassy plains, Qinghai Province is also known as the Green Sea. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers have their sources here. And the world's highest highway runs through the Qinghai to Lhasa, Tibet. Along the way, you can see antelope, yak, donkeys, camels and lynx.
