Chinatodo
As dusk falls on China's 'Summer Capital', the Huangshui River becomes a liquid mirror for Xining's urban transformation - glittering high-rises now punctuate the plateau skyline, their LED facades dancing with Tibetan motifs alongside modern corporate logos. The newly expanded city center demonstrates Qinghai's careful balancing act: sleek glass towers are deliberately spaced to preserve mountain views, while upgraded bridges cast golden reflections across the water, connecting historic Muslim quarters with the booming Haidong District. This is high-altitude urbanization done right - where every new construction project must answer to the surrounding peaks.
