Haixi Prefecture Travel Guide

Haixi (海西) is in western Qinghai Province where Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang, and Tibet meet. It is also an important gateway to Tibet. Haixi, meaning “west of Hai,” was named for its location west of Qinghai (青海) Lake. Well-known tourist attractions here include the source of the Yangtze River, the Kunlun (昆仑) Mountains, Tianjun (天峻) Mountain, and Dachaidan (大柴旦) Hot Springs.
