🍢 Muslim Quarter — Xi’an’s Flavors After Dark

No visit to Xi’an is complete without a walk through the Muslim Quarter (回民街). Just west of the Bell Tower, this maze of lanes is where the city’s Silk Road heritage still thrives — filled with sizzling grills, colorful stalls, and centuries of Hui Muslim culture. A favorite photo stop there is that of a smoking dragon - you won’t missed it as there is always a line queuing ✨ What to Eat • Roujiamo (肉夹馍) — the famous “Chinese hamburger,” stuffed with juicy shredded meat. • Yangrou Paomo (羊肉泡馍) — lamb broth with hand-torn flatbread, rich and hearty. • Liangpi (凉皮) — cool, tangy noodles topped with garlic and chili. • Persimmon Cakes & Pomegranate Juice — sweet street favorites to balance the spice. 🌟 Why Visit? The Muslim Quarter isn’t just food — it’s a living piece of Silk Road culture, where aromas of cumin and chili fill the air, vendors shout their wares, and traditional flavors meet a bustling street atmosphere. 💡 Tips for Visitors • 📍 Located in central Xi’an, a short walk from the Bell Tower. • 🕘 Best time: Evening, when the street is busiest and most vibrant. • 👟 Wear comfortable shoes; it gets crowded. • 🧭 For fewer tourists, explore nearby lanes like Sajinqiao for a more local vibe. #mytraveldiary #chinatravel #xian #muslimquarter #streetfoodchina #silkroadflavors #回民街
