Qinghai Sheng Bowuguan

If you don't have much time to travel the rural parts of Qinghai, this museum is worth a quick visit for its collection of relics that includes Mongolian pottery; Tibetan mani stones (stones carved with religious script and images), thangkas, and carpets; along with Qing dynasty carved wooden and bronze religious icons. English descriptions are fine but hardly insightful. To find the museum head for the grand-museum looking building in Xining Guangchang, leave your bag on the ground floor and then walk through the cut-price clothes stands and Tibetan stores and up the stairs.
