See Part 3 of the Last Wild Places in China as we discover a Tibetan sky burial site:



Sorry I have been a little absent from YouTube recently. I was visiting family for the first time in 5 years in America.

Now I am back on the Tibetan Plateau and back in wild places.
In this video we will visit some of the remotest and wildest parts of China.

In this video we drive from Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province to Yushu in southern Qinghai. We explore the remote highway and the high altitude areas around the Source of the Yellow River.

Join us as we explore some very remote Tibetan towns, pass by some really broken down gas stations, and see the wildest parts of western China.

China Bucket List丨Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture – welcome to the “Roof of the World”.

Yushu on top of the world

Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture lies in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. With an average altitude of 3500 meters from sea level, Yushu has one the most diverse and beautiful landscapes; the rich and authentic culture makes Yushu the cultural hive of Khampa Tibetan people.

Ecotourism in Yushu, Qinghai - exploring the Sanjiangyuan National Park

See more about Yushu here:



Yushu (玉树; Yùshù; also known as Gyêgu, “Gyêgudo”, “Jyekundo” or “Jiegu”) is a town in Qinghai Province located on high rolling grasslands at 3,700 metres (12,100 ft). Yushu is the main base camp for ventures out into the Sanjiangyuan or Three Rivers National Park, source of the Yellow, Mekong, and Yangtze Rivers in Qinghai Province.

Yushu is in the traditional Kham Area of the Tibetan Plateau. Although it is outside the Tibet Autonomous Region, inhabitants are mostly Tibetan but most merchants here are Han Chinese who have moved from eastern China to take advantage of the newly opening market and business investment opportunities in one of China’s major efforts to promote Tibetan tourism.

The area has a population of over 250,000. Yushu is a county level town in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous and is the fourth largest city in Qinghai Province.

Right on the valley of the Batang River and a significant part of the Yangtze River watershed, the city seat itself is called Gyegu (also known as Yushu and Jiegu in Chinese). Qinghai Province is famously known as “the source of the 3 rivers” including the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the Mekong River. Yushu is a great base to explore the sources of both the Yangtze and Mekong (in Zhiduo and Zaduo towns respectively). The Yangtze is the world’s third-longest river at 3,917 miles. Its source is on the Tibetan Plateau, in western China. Its mouth is the East China Sea, near Shanghai. The Yangtze flows through nine provinces of China and drains an area equal to 695,000 square miles of land. The Mekong, following close behind, is the world’s 12th-longest river and the 7th-longest in Asia. Its estimated length is 4,350 km (2,703 mi), and it drains an area of 795,000 km (307,000 sq mi), discharging 475 km (114 cu mi) of water annually.From the Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China’s Qinghai and Yunnan Province,Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Yushu may seem like a remote Tibetan outpost town but its placement in southwestern Qinghai makes it not only a cultural center but an important area for ecological preservation for a watershed that feeds some 1 billion people.

Yushu has an alpine subarctic climate with long, cold, very dry winters, and short, rainy, and mild summers. Average low temperatures are below freezing from early/mid October to late April; however, due to the intense high altitude sun the average high never goes below the freezing mark during this long winter season.

Since Yushu is not so big, walking is the easiest way around town although there are also countless taxis and multiple bus routes across town.

Highlights of your visit to Yushu may include a walk up the hill to the Jiegu monastery, also known as the Jyekundo Dondrubling Monastery, which has an excellent view over the town below.

The Gyanak (Jiana) Mani Stone Pile, Tibet’s largest pile of sacredly engraved stones with 100’s of pilgrims that walk and prostrate around its perimeter, is a 30-40min walk to the east on the main road. Or it’s convenient to take bus #1 or #2 for just 1 RMB to this interesting spot. The best time to visit the Gyanak Mani, assembling over 2 billion individually carved stones, is in the early morning when locals show up en mass to make the pilgrimage circuit before the day’s activities. At this time, the Mani Stone pile is buzzing with energy and you could easily spend 2-3 hours just people watching as a wave of Tibetan nomad culture walks right in front of you.

Another highlight in the Yushu area is the Temple of Princess Wencheng. The Temple of Princess Wencheng is a historical and cultural relic left by Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) on her way to Tibet in the year of 641 to marry the then ruler of the Tibetan Kingdom, Songtsen Gampo, in a move for political unification. This is an excellent place for a 2-3 hour hike around an entire mountain totally covered in a blanket of bright colors of prayer flags. From a distance the mountain appears to have been the home to a giant spider who has woven its all encompassing web from mountain top to mountain top. A taxi to the Temple of Princess Wencheng cost around Y50. Try to negotiate with a driver to see both sites as they are both outside of town in different directions.

Average low temperatures are below freezing from early/mid October to late April; however, due to the intense high altitude sun the average high never goes below the freezing mark during this long winter season. In November, the city receives 2,496 hours of bright sunshine annually. The monthly 24-hour average temperature ranges from −7.6 °C (18.3 °F) in January to 12.7 °C (54.9 °F) in July, while the annual mean is 3.22 °C (37.8 °F). As with most areas in northwest Sichuan and southwest Qinghai, about 74% of the annual precipitation of 486 mm (19.1 in) is delivered in the relatively rainy season from June to September.

In the morning of 14 April 2010, the town was struck by 7.1 magnitude Earthquake. Thousands of people died in this horrible tragedy and the entire town was leveled. As of 2017, the city has been rebuilt and city life has returned to normal.

China Qinghai Yushu-2011 a year after the earthquake

Yushu is a city of about 120.000 people at 3700m in the mountains of Qinghai province in China. On 1 April 2010 a 7.1M earthquake hit near Yushu killing 2700 people. I visited the city a year later in 2011. It had been raining a lot and the streets where muddy. Many blue tents around the city, which served as shops, and a place to sleep (like my guesthouse). We see yaks grazing in the hills just outside of the city, Tibetan people cleaning caterpillar fungus, and devotees walking around a partly destroyed monastery and spinning a giant prayer wheel while seated in a comfortable couch.

China Northwest Travel Video, Qinghai Province,China

China Northwest Travel Video, Qinghai Province,China.Qinghai, owing to its location in the heart of China, close to Mongolia and near the Silk Road, is ethnically mixed - Han, Hui, Kazakh, Mongolian, Tibetans, Tu and Salar inhabit the province. Most of Qinghai forms the traditional Tibetan province of Amdo. Yushu prefecture, in far southern Qinghai, is a part of the Kham region of Tibet. Outside the two main cities - Golmud and Xining -- population centers are tiny villages and towns, scattered along the desolate Tibetan Plateau.

A Travel to Qinghai Lake (The largest inland lake in China)

The largest inland lake in China, Qinghai Hu is in the far west of China, in the Qinghai province. It is part of the Autonomous Tibetan region, actually, an extended Tibetan plateau, where mostly minority Hui Muslims and Tibetan Buddhists live there.
In 2019 June, I traveled solo from Beijing, to get a solo experience traveling in China's hinterland. From Beijing to Xian traveled by High-Speed G-Train (Bullet Train). Xian is the city in the ancient 'Silk Route' and sits of ancient China's first emperor 'Qin dynasty' (300 BC). It is the cultural capital of China. It is just 6 hours by High-speed train from Beijing.
After spending two days in Xian, I traveled to Xining by D-Train. Xining is the capital of the Qinghai province. The lake is around 150 km from Xining city. I took a taxi which cost around 7000 INR, up and down. My driver was nice and Hui Muslim. After reaching there, I lived in a small Tibetan village as a homestay. They served their local food to me. That time weather was cool and that village was just opposite the Lake. That is a high-altitude plateau area, where one side is the mountain and the other side vast meadows and lake.
This lake is a resting place for the migratory birds traveling from Siberia to the South. One can see the Hui & Zhang (Tibetan ethnicity), people's life there. There the local goat's meat, milk, and curd are very popular. It was just 2 days visit to Qinghai Hu ( Hu = Lake ), and I again returned to Xian by semi high-speed overnight train to see the Terracotta Museum.

Largest Pile of Mani Stones in Yushu Tibetan Plateau, China


A mani stone is inscribed with Om mani padme hum - used as a prayer in Tibetan Buddhism and placed along roadsides, in mounds and even long walls, as an offering to the spirits. The billions of mani stones (largest in Tibet) was only a short distance outside of Yushu. And, I still want to know. Who actually counted all these stones?

A Kora is performed by making a walking circumambulation (clockwise) around a temple or other holy site while spinning prayer wheels, chanting mantras, or prostrating oneself In accordance with Buddhist tradition. Even when the Tibetans were engrossed in other activities, the handheld prayer wheels never stopped spinning.
