Beside the Bell and Drum Towers, the Xi'an Muslim Quarter is a vibrant historic enclave and food paradise, with roots stretching back to the Tang Dynasty. It grew from a settlement of Arab and Persian Silk Road merchants, evolving into a thriving Hui community over 1,300 years.

A network of bustling lanes like Beiyuanmen and Huajue Lane, it's famed for authentic halal treats: crispy roujiamo, savory paomo, sweet mirror cake and fragrant kebabs. At its heart stands the Great Mosque, a masterpiece blending Chinese architecture and Islamic art.

Today, it's a lively blend of ancient traditions and local life. The aromatic air, colorful shops and friendly Hui residents create an unforgettable experience—a true taste of Chang'an's multicultural heritage.
