- Grand Mosque, Xining, Qinghai
The Grand Mosque here in Xining - with a Muslim population here at 20% - is rather disorienting - inside, the prayers are done in front of a Buddhist-like temple structure. We have never seen such a surrounding before.

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #659 - Tibet-Qinghai Railway, Tibet

- Tibet-Qinghai Railway, Tibet
The highest train in the world - this Tibet-Qinghai railway passes through heights of 5070m, which was regarded as an impossible feat not so long ago. But the train ride itself is quite an experience - with a 6-bedder cabin squeezing all 6 inside like sardines - last pix. Luckily, we paid extra for the 4-bedder, making the 20hr ride to Xining more comfy for us.

- Tibetan Mastiff dogs, Lhasa, Tibet
The Tibetan Mastiffs have to be one of the biggest dogs in the world, if not the biggest. It is definitely the most expensive - one sold for over U$1m recently - crazy! At over 100kg, this one beside me is really half-dog, half-lion!

- Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, Shigatse, Tibet
The Tashi Lhunpo Monastery is the seat of the Panche Lama, the Beijing-approved leader of the Tibetan Buddhists here. But compared to the Potala Palace, it seems so modest.
