Ta'er Shan Park

Sites in and around a hilltop picnic area to the southeast of Xining. All buildings are devoid of religious symbolism of any kind, despite their seemingly Buddhist archictecture. It is a popular activity for families or groups of friends to picnic inside the structures or on the surrounding hillsides. The day of my visit happend to be during a brief taxi driver strike in Xining; lo and behold, inside the building seen in DSCN0876 were a group of roughly 20 taxi drivers dining and drinking the afternoon away.
