Xining, the capital city of Qinghai Province, shares a long history of more than 2100 years and plays a vital role in the time of Hexi Corridor by owning timber, wool and salt. Back to the Western and Eastern Han dynasties, Xining was notable for its vital roles in the economic and military. It got the name, Xining which means a peace in the west, in Song Dynasty. In the year of 1927, a Richter scale 8.6 earthquake tragically happened there killing thousands of people and caused a severe damage.
Located in the eastern edge of Qinghai-Tibet plateau, Xining thus lies in the average altitude of 2200 meters.
The anti-flooding project in Xining is funded by the World Bank lending 1 billion US dollars. Under the construction of the infrastructure, Huangshui Main River and Nanchuan River has been treated well. However due to the lack of equipment, some of the treatments has been pending.
