I am traveling further through Qinghai, firstly through Delingha, which is Mongolian for "Golden World" and describes the dry but golden landscape of this region. I am passing by one of China's larges solar power plants before entering the much greener Tongren Region past Qinghai's capital of Xining.

Tongren is a meltpoint of especially Tibetans and Hui People and one can see the Buddhist as well as Islamic elements everywhere. I discover the secrets of Thanka Artists which are only present in this region of China.

Join me on an adventure through Qinghai's most diverse place
