After your delightful lunch, your guide will take you on a fascinating exploration of Xi'an's Muslim Quarter, one of the most famous food streets in the city. This vibrant area is not only renowned for its mouthwatering local cuisine but also for its rich Islamic culture, which has thrived for over 1,000 years. Your guide will lead you through the bustling streets, sharing insights into the unique history and cultural significance of the area. The Muslim Quarter consists of several key elements: the Islamic food market, a lively ethnic shopping center, the Great Mosque, and the residential area of the Hui people. As you walk, you'll notice the ancient gray flagstone streets and Ming-style architecture, which create an atmospheric backdrop for the area's rich traditions.

Your guide will introduce you to the flavors of the street, where food from the north and west of China converge. The Muslim Quarter is famous for its hearty dishes, including crude pancake in mutton soup, cold rice noodles, Chinese hamburgers (Roujiamo), and Qishan noodles—each offering a taste of traditional Shaanxi cuisine. Alongside these iconic dishes, you'll find a variety of local snacks such as Xi’an small cakes, Shaanxi-style pasta, and sticky rice cakes. The street is predominantly filled with beef and mutton products, with roast beef being especially famous for its tender, flavorful taste. Your guide will explain the history behind these dishes and their connection to the Silk Road, where Muslim traders and travelers first introduced these flavors to Xi'an around 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty.
