The main food street area is known as Huimin Street or Muslim Quarter. It's a main street with a few intersecting roads. So the Xi’an Muslim Food Street is the collective name for a number of streets, including Beiyuanmen Street, North Guangji Street, Xiyangshi Street and Dapiyuan Street, and it has become a famous attraction of Xi’an for its profound Muslim cultural atmosphere. Caution: If you are vegetarian, you may want to reconsider a walk through this street. This is a haven for meat lovers, and there meat all around. Xian was the starting point of the ancient Silk Road 1,000 years ago in the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-9 AD).

Just as its name implies, the Muslim Quarter, also known as Huimin Jie in Pingyin, is the hub of the Muslim community in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. Located to the north of the West Street in the city center, the quarter covers several blocks inhabitated by over 20,000 Muslims. There are about ten mosques in the area of the Muslim Street, among which the Great Mosque in the Huajue Lane is the most famous and popular. Muslim food and souvenir market is another feature of the area. The Beiyuanmen Muslim Market located just to the north of the Drum Tower is a great choice after the sightseeing in the city center. About 500 meters (about 547 yards) in length from south to north, the street can be reached through the archway under the Drum Tower. This street is paved with dark colored stone with green trees providing heavy shade during summer; the buildings on both sides of the street are modeled on the styles of both the Ming (1368-1644) and the Qing Dynasties (1644-1911). Some of the constructions are restaurants; while others are stores. But here there is one thing in common: the owners are all Muslims.

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

A must see in Xi’an! An amazing street for all the senses. Frozen yogurt rolls, pomegranate juice and the most decorative breads. Also a place for all souvenirs and bartering in the market. #summervacation#urbanexplorer

Xi'an is amazingly rich in culture and great for food lovers❣ It was the beginning of the old silk road and therefore a festival of food culture. There is even a Muslim Quarter or a street known as Huimin Street where you can try amazing local delicacy. The street leads to the bell tower which is also one of the cultural highlights of the city 👌 Unfortunately there are not many options for vegetarians but still worth a visit and you can opt for ice cream or their sweet offerings. #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#tripfoodie#roadtrip

📍Muslim street or Muslim quarter, Xi’an I came here during my winter break with my cousin. It was a really fun trip. I couldn’t believe i made myself all the way to Xi’an. This Muslim Quarter is heaven on earth. I really love everything about this place. They sell all halal food (food that doesn’t contain any pork). Everything is just beef or lamb. I was strolling around and just bought everything that caught my eyes and looked interesting. The RouJiaMo (5th picture) was the highlight of this place. the bread was so crunchy and soft while the beef was perfectly seasoned and tender!!

Last September was my first visit to Xi'an, and I had a very, very, very good impression🌹🌹 Everything was relatively cheap and I didn't encounter any disappointments😍 The tea drinks at Chahua Nong are delicious, although they feel similar to those from Bawang Tea Ji and Cha Yan Yue Se, but they don't keep you awake like Bawang Tea Ji does👀👀 Barbecue at the Hui Min Street is so cheap!🌟🌟🌟 Only a few cents per skewer and they taste great!🍀🍀🍀 Xi'an has a lot of noodle dishes, I didn't eat much last time but this time I will try them all!🥰🥰🥰 Donkey meat burgers were bought at the morning market👀 The first time I visited the morning market, it was just too crowded and I felt pushed forward🥳🥳🥳 The uncle cutting the meat made it look so tender and fresh🌟🌟🌟 Hehe, this time I'm going on a whim✨ Bought the ticket on the night of the 2nd for departure on the 4th✨ All the foods I haven't tried yet, wait for me, I will definitely try them all in Xi'an this time!🌻🌻🌻

👍Most recommended: Xi'an Muslim Street, a fusion of food and culture! ❤Reason for recommendation: As a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Xi'an, almost every traveler who sets foot in Xi'an is attracted by the street's delicacies and comes here by reputation! 🌟Highlights and features: Muslim Street, as one of the representatives of Xi'an's local culture, is a collective name for several streets in the Hui Muslim district, also known locally as 'Huifang' or 'Fangshang', consisting of North Guangji Street, Beiyuanmen, West Sheep Market, Dapiyuan, Hua Jue Alley, Sajinqiao, and several other streets. Here, you will be surrounded by the aroma of various delicious foods, such as barbecue skewers, mutton stewed in bread, cold noodles, roujiamo (meat sandwich), and zenggao (steamed rice cake)... Enthusiastic vendors will recommend all kinds of local snacks to you, allowing you to taste the local delicacies and satisfy your taste buds. Not only is there food, but the street also carries a profound history. The Shaanxi provincial governor's office during the Ming and Qing dynasties was located here, and Lin Zexu once stayed here and wrote the famous verse 'If the matter is of benefit to the state, why should I avoid it for fear of misfortune or fortune?' The nearby Bell Tower and Drum Tower have witnessed the vicissitudes of this ancient city. At night, Muslim Street is even more brilliantly lit, with bustling crowds and lights reflecting off each other, showcasing the unique charm of Xi'an's night market. Strolling through the streets and alleys, it's as if time has reversed; walking from the entrance of Beiyuanmen to the head of Sajinqiao, with cobblestone pavements, shaded trees, ancient brick houses, and traditional wooden carvings, you can feel the thick historical atmosphere. This everlasting lively atmosphere lets you experience the passage of time and the sediment of history! 📍Detailed address: No. 125-51, Beiyuanmen, Lianhu District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province 🚉Transportation: Take the subway Line 1 to Sajinqiao Station or Line 2 to Bell Tower Station, and then it's a short walk to reach the destination. 🚶‍♀️Recommended walking and eating route: The entrance and exit roads are accessible from all directions, with all kinds of food, drink, and fun to be had in every street and alley. I personally recommend eating in the small alleys and wandering around Muslim Street. ▶️Exit from Exit B of Sajinqiao Station on the subway, walk about 50 meters west to enter from Sajinqiao Road, then head south, eating and browsing along the way, passing through Temple Back Street, North Guangji Street, Dapiyuan, and heading east to Beiyuanmen Muslim Street. ❤️Warm tips! 1. The main street of Muslim Street is very suitable for taking photos and checking in, especially at night, where you can experience the liveliness of Xi'an's nightlife. The real delicacies are in the small alleys behind, so it's recommended to explore the alleys more, and you might find some surprises. 2. Dapiyuan, East Sheep Market, North Guangji Street, Qiaozikou, and other large areas are referred to as 'Fangshang' by old Xi'an residents, where you can explore the most civilian and authentic Xi'an life. 3. There are many Huifang mosques, including Hua Jue Alley Great Mosque (entrance fee 25 yuan/person), Xiaopiyuan Mosque, Dapiyuan Mosque, Qingzhen West Mosque, and Xinsixiang Mosque, which are open to the public for visits. 4. If you're driving, don't take your car into Huifang, as you'll doubt your life choices due to the traffic; it's better to walk. Accommodation in Huifang is not much cheaper than surrounding hotels, taxis generally refuse to take you there, and it's nearly impossible for a taxi to enter. 5. Be careful of electric bikes and motorcycles zipping through the streets and alleys. 6. Drinking alcohol and carrying pork products are prohibited in Huifang.
