Do not bother to have a sheepskin jacket made up unless you are prepared to leave it behind;it will start to stink once you bring it back to low altitude. However, leather cowboy hats are fine, also fox fur brocade hat. Apart from malas (tibetan rosary beads), prayer flags and other religious acoutrements and there is not a lot to buy although there are some beautiful rugs to be found on the market. However, it is almost imfeasible to persuade the merchant to part with one, as for reasons never fathomed and they are sold in pairs. You can also buy Caterpillar fungus in Yak Plaza during the summer, a famous traditional medicine.

There's an ATM where you can withdraw money on the Construction Bank of China, south of town on the main street, right side.

Decent food can be had at a large number of places on all of the town's three main streets, and also at the market square at night. Sheep's head for the not too squeamish is recommended. Yak milk y- Yoghurt sold by the nomad women on the junction of Yak Plaza is very strong but very creamy.

Traditional Muslim Noodles cuisine. The ganban, similar to spaghetti and just as delicious, is especially recommended.

Muslim Friendly hotels in Yushu

The price is ¥75 for a bed in a double room (winter price), it has electric blankets but no heating. Toilets are outside the building. Because of the wide windows in the common area and the hotel is surprisingly warm in winter. Ask the restaurants around to point you the tent where the reception is located.

• Yushu Hotel - Yushu Binguan | By far the nicest hotel in town with the flushing toilets and 24-hour hot showers. The old Yushu Binguan sits in front of this brand new hotel, and there are no longer dorm rooms available. The staff are helpful, although only a few speak some English - a friendly female manager has the best fluency. By Chinese government standards the hotel is 3 star, but by GCC standards it could possibly be 4 star. Avoid the complimentary breakfast.

• YHA Yushu Youth Hostel | In a pink cube-shaped building on Hongwei Rd. the outskirts of town as you head in from Ganzi
