If you consider yourself a foodie then this is your place. If not, go here anyways and eat. The ambiance and energy are worth the stroll.

The area is busy and filled with life. The best part is the back streets where the real lives happen. Walking on the back roads you can experience the reality of the local community, how they eat, how the shop, what is popular between them. It is a great place to know the local culture and try some delicious local food. Special highlights to the lamb pita bread soup, lamb bbq and pomegranate fresh juice.

I would say this place is mostly for business for the local Muslim community. It is really nice to visit it though, especially in the evening. What I would recommend is to skip dinner and go there in the evening and try various kinds of foods. You will be surprised and I think most of the people would enjoy the food. You must try the local specialty, the grilled squid. Many places have it. It is really nice. You can also buy there many souvenirs. Probably no performances, as I did not experience any but loads of food and souvenirs and other things to buy. Surely worth to go!

From Drum Tower, entered Muslim Quarter and turned left following the sign to Mosque. Cute alleyways with all kinds of tacky souvenir stuff to purchase (want a Stalin calendar?) Mosque was great and I was one of two tourists there. Saw a procession / group of people coming out of the prayer hall which was interesting. Nice courtyard and buildings, quiet and peaceful. Went back to Muslim Quarter and tried 3 different places for food, had cold sesame noodles, beef soup dumplings and lamb 'burger', all delicious and nice afternoon stroll.

Just felt a bit tacky, and not quite the experience I had been expecting. Plenty of stalls, although all selling very similar food and souvenirs. Didn't have the depth of culture I had hoped, and felt more like a tourist trap. I suggest going down the side streets and off the main track to see some smaller units, and local people.

Muslim quarter is one of must see locations in Xi’an. Very bright place with eastern color. Here you can find a lot of snacks like spicy bbq of different kinds, sweets like yogurt roll ice cream, Uighur flatbread, various drinks: sweet flower tea (rose, cherry, karkade) and fresh fruit juice (pomegranate, coconut and passion fruit). This place definitely doesn’t feel like China, more like eastern bazaar….. with Chinese souvenirs. Be careful- might be very crowded in the evenings around 6-8, specially weekends

So many fantastic food choices. Definitely recommend the mutton soup with bread pieces and the many varieties of flat bread. Have some fun bargaining in the souvenir shops!

We visited twice, during night time and day tine, and we recommend you to come at evening. It's always crowded, but manageable.
Tons of food. We tried the stinky tofu, and I love it.

It is an interesting place with the pedestrian lanes lined with shops, restaurants, and food stalls. We were impressed and surprised that with all the raw and cooked food in the open we did not see any house-flies. Does anyone know how come the common pest does not show up there? Not even around the garbage bins placed along the middle of the street. As clean as you could wish. We were there in September and highly recommend the restaurants there for authentic local fare.

Think it is the temperature and the constant sweeping and removal of thrash.I noticed that China's streets are relatively clean and comparable with Singapore's. However, as for toilets, they are still full of very unpleasant surprises and can be pretty scary.
# Important Tip :Clear your bowels completely in the hotel.

Of course. Inshaa Allah, they're all halal as served by Muslims. Street vendors and restaurants, halal. You can see the logos right on the premises.

How do i get there from bell tower?
Fay W
Boulder, CO88 contributions
from te bell tower you walk straight toward the drum tower. you have to pass the park and go all the way up to the drum tower. the courtyard in front of it is effectively the beginning of the Muslim quarter. the first street into the quarter opens off to the right of the drum tower.
