🇨🇳 Xi’an Muslim Quarter – Meat Lover’s Paradise

The Muslim Quarter is one of the most lively and popular areas in Xi’an, especially if you love street food and local flavors. ⸻ 🕌 Atmosphere & Culture This area has a strong Islamic cultural influence and is full of narrow streets, shops, food stalls, and restaurants. It’s always busy, especially in the evening, and the atmosphere is part of the experience. ⸻ 🍢 Street Food Highlights One of the must-try foods here is the meat skewers. Both beef skewers and other types of meat were really good — freshly grilled, well seasoned, and full of flavor. Prices are very reasonable, usually between 10–20 RMB per skewer, depending on the meat and size. ⸻ 🍜 More Local Specialties Besides skewers, the Muslim Quarter is a great place to try other Xi’an classics, such as: • Biang Biang noodles • Chinese hamburger (roujiamo) There are plenty of restaurants and stalls, so it’s easy to try different things in one visit. ⸻ 🌙 Best Time to Visit The evening is the best time to come. The lights, the crowds, and the food smells make the area feel alive and very authentic. ⸻ ✨ Final tip: Come hungry and take your time walking around. The Muslim Quarter is perfect for tasting different dishes and experiencing Xi’an’s street food scene.
