• Xi’an Mosque - Please arrange your own transportation to the meeting point at Xian Bell Tower Hotel (Address: No.110 South Avenue, Beilin District, Xi’an). The tour starts at either 10:00 am or 3:00 pm. A local guide will meet you at the hotel reception and provide fascinating insights into Xi’an’s rich culture.

Before sampling delicious local foods, the guide will take you to explore an ancient mosque, the largest in China. The Great Mosque is tucked away in a corner of the bustling Hua Jue Xiang street and can be easily missed if not looked for carefully. It blends traditional Chinese architecture with Islamic functionality and features many relics, including ancient furniture, paintings, calligraphy tablets, and the Koran in both Arabic and Chinese.

• Muslim Quarter - The first foodie stop is Jia San Restaurant, where you can savor guantang baozi. Be cautious when eating these steamed buns as they are filled with hot, flavorful gravy! Afterward, enjoy delicious barbecue at another vendor down the street, with options like lamb, beef, or fish. Pair it with bingfeng, Xi’an’s version of soda that tastes like orange juice. Another restaurant will offer shredded pancake and sesame fillets. Relax and enjoy this delectable dish at your leisure, and don’t forget to save room for dessert! Stroll down Muslim Street and visit a popular vendor for a mouthwatering persimmon pancake.

With this tour, your local guide will take you to the best spots for local food and provide a thorough explanation of the dishes you try and the places you visit.
