🍜 Sajinqiao — Xi’an’s Local Muslim Quarter

While the Muslim Quarter draws the biggest crowds, locals in Xi’an often head to Sajinqiao (洒金桥) for a more authentic food experience. This lively street is lined with stalls and small eateries serving up the bold, spicy, and sour flavors that Shaanxi is famous for. ✨ What to Eat • Hulatang (胡辣汤) — a hot, peppery soup perfect for chilly evenings. • Roujiamo (肉夹馍) — the “Chinese hamburger,” stuffed with juicy shredded pork or beef. • Liangpi (凉皮) — cold noodles with vinegar, garlic, and chili — refreshing and tangy. • Grilled skewers & fried snacks — smoky, spicy, and best enjoyed with a cold drink. 🌟 Why Visit? Compared to the touristy Muslim Quarter, Sajinqiao feels more local and down-to-earth — full of chatter, sizzling woks, and the irresistible aroma of street food. 💡 Tips for Visitors • 📍 Located in Xi’an’s Lianhu District, a short ride from the Bell Tower. • 🕘 Best time: Evenings, when the street comes alive with lights and food stalls. • 💸 Bring cash or mobile pay; some stalls may not accept foreign cards. • 🧍 Expect it to be busy, but that’s part of the charm — grab a stool, share a table, and dive in! #mytraveldiary #chinatravel #xian #sajinqiao #nightmarket #streetfoodchina #洒金桥
