回民街
Xi'an's Muslim Quarter is a 1,400-year-old halal food bazaar where Silk Road flavors meet Chinese technique. Don't miss the lamb paomo, roujiamo, and the hidden Great Mosque — but go early to beat the crowds.
Go at 6:00 AM when the quarter is empty and locals are eating — you'll get a seat and see the real neighborhood.\nVenture off Beiyuanmen onto Dapiyuan (大皮院) or Xiyangshi (西羊市) for better food and fewer tourists.\nCarry small bills (CNY 5–10) — many stalls don't accept cards, and WeChat/Alipay require a Chinese bank account.
Open 24 hours, but most food stalls operate from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily
Free entry; food items range from CNY 5 (about $0.70) for skewers to CNY 45 (about $6.50) for a bowl of lamb paomo
