A pagoda outlined as the sun sets behind the West Mountains. 
The largest square in Xining. Transformed from a block of traditional courtyard houses and shops into a peaceful recluse in just 18 months.
The old men practice caligraphy in the square, along with flying kites and playing majiang.
In the central square the main attraction was live Chinese music and dancing.

A snack from the markets during one of many lunchtime shopping episodes.
The local supermarket signage - care of Nestle I think.
At the People's Park Market you can buy fish, lures, birds, soevenirs and lots of paintings. Each artist has their own little upstairs shop.
One of many large appartment stores. Here I traded in my blue jacket for a new one!
