Let me know when you're going. Xining is a good stop to acclimatize. There is great lamb meat restaurants (lots of lambs roaming). Also Qinghai Lake is great for sightseeing, it's the biggest lake in China and can be done with day trip from Xining. But actually if you want to play water sports at the lake, probably need to stay at lakefront hotel. The lake area itself is very isolated, to the west is no civilization. But very very nice people. Now they're even building subway in Xining, last time I was there no such thing. So wonderful.Hi Hendrik_2000,
When this pandemic is over, I'll try and organize a 4 days and 3 nights vacation package tour, any members here want to join feel free to email me....
Hi Crang,
, Namtso lake and Basum lake in Tibet is spectacular but compare to MIRROR LAKE in JUIZHAIGO Sichuan Wooah!!! It's heaven on earth. Twice is enough, China is so large and big that there are so many places to go, My favorite aside from SIchuan province, is Yunnan especially Lijiang the old town.
Where do you want to go? That's why China didn't need to colonize, cos there is already paradise in China
and Chinese cuisine is the best in the world, too much to try out in one life.Hi Crang,Where do you want to go? That's why China didn't need to colonize, cos there is already paradise in China

No they shouldn't just send drones. The whole point is exposing soldiers to the cold in order to acclimatize them. After all, these soldiers are likely to fight in these weather conditions should war erupt so why should they not do daily patrols?
Hi Figaro,
Akm, insas etc... Have fun supplying each other during fire fight.
So apparently, this is India's 'world-class gear' for surviving in -30, -40C. No gloves, no face masks. Looks like the jacket came from H&M. No facial protection. The Chinese soldiers wear Russian ushanka hats, and on top of the hats are another layer of protection. The Indians look like they're wearing WWII helmets....
