About Qinghai
Qinghai, owing to its location in the heart of China, close to Mongolia and near theSilk Road, is ethnically mixed - Han, Hui, Kazakh, Mongolian, Tibetans, Tu and Salar inhabit the province. Han Chinese are largely concentrated in the eastern part of the province, near the capital Xining, while the rest of the province is sparsely populated and predominantly Tibetan. Most of Qinghai forms the traditional Tibetan province ofAmdo. Yushu prefecture, in far southern Qinghai, is a part of the traditional Tibetan province of Kham. Outside the two main cities -GolmudandXining-- population centers are tiny villages and towns, scattered along the desolate Tibetan Plateau. Qinghai is perhaps China's most sparsely populated province. There are only 5.2 million people in an area bigger than France. La
