Dowi county;
The county capital of Dowi, traditionally known in Tibetan as Yardzi or Dowi Khar and Chinese as Xunhua, lies on the south bank of the river Machu (Yellow River).
Since the 14th century the county has been predominantly inhabited by the Salar, a very tight-knit band of Central Asian Muslims. By the 19th century, the Salar had absorbed several villages north of the river Machu (Yellow River). The county town is quite large, but surrounded by fields, some open and others enclosed by mud walls, where fruit trees are cultivated. Despite the Salars`overwhelming dominance in the agriculturally rich valleys of lower Dowi, the Tibetans continue to occupy the upper valleys, and several important monasteries can be visited. Prior to 1958 (Cultural Revolution) there were altogether 33 Tibetan shrines or monasteries within the county, the most important being Bimdo Gonpa and Gori Gonpa.

下载安装Flash播放器The "Year of Russian Tourism", a Sino-Russian event to boost mutual tourism, ended on Friday, with the two parts agreeing on further investment cooperation.
Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan and his Russian counterpart Olga Golodets sent congratulatory messages to the concluding ceremony held in Shanghai.
The National Tourism Administration (NTA) of China and the Russia Federal Tourism Agency, or Rosturizm, signed a memorandum of understanding on investment and cooperation in tourism fields along with five investment agreements.
The "Year of Russian Tourism" began on March 23, 2012 in China while the "Year of Chinese Tourism" will be launched in Russia next year. Both sides hope the number of citizens paying mutual visits can reach 5 million as soon as possible.
Moreover, the two countries are making efforts to boost capital, technology and human resources cooperation, said NTA chief Shao Qiwei.
In October 2011, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and then Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin agreed in Beijing that the two countries would hold the "Year of Russian Tourism" in China in 2012 and the the "Year of Chinese Tourism" in Russia in 2013.
Besides the two activities, past reciprocal events included the "National Years" in 2006 and 2007, and the "Years of Language" in 2009 and 2010.
