The Apostolic Prefecture of Xining is a Latin Catholic pre-diocesan jurisdiction in western China covering the province of Qinghai.
It is exempt, i.e. depends directly on the Holy See and its missionary Roman Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
No statistics available. It borders on the Apostolic Prefecture of Xinjiang to the northwest, Archdiocese of Lanzhou to the north and east, and Diocese of Kangding to the south and southwest.
It may be vacant by demise, if so without apostolic administrator.
