Experience Xi’an’s Vibrant Muslim Community

You can find this vibrant area of Xi’an just north of the West Street in the city center! It’s several blocks lined with restaurants, shops, vendors and spas. The moment you enter the Muslim Quarter you are greeted by an intoxicating scent of spices. The main street of the quarter is flanked by a line of carts with vendors selling everything from grilled lamb skewers to fresh baked breads! You can also find biang biang noodles, dumplings and cotton candy! There are several mosques in the area as well as an alley full of flea market style shopping! We spent over 6 hours exploring the streets, alleys, shops and mosques and didn’t even see everything! The Muslim Quarter is a must see when visiting Xi’an! #culture #foodie #createwithtrip
