The city has been a cultural crossroads for various ethnic groups, including Han, Tibetan, Hui, and others, which has contributed to its diverse cultural landscape.
The city features stunning natural scenery with nearby attractions such as the Qinghai Lake, the largest saltwater lake in China, and the annual Qinghai Lake Bicycle Race, which attracts cyclists from around the world.
