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

Before savoring delicious local cuisine, the guide will lead you to explore an ancient mosque, renowned as the largest mosque in China. The Great Mosque is tucked away in a corner of the bustling street, known as Hua Jue Xiang in Chinese, and can easily be missed if not looked for carefully. It blends traditional Chinese architectural style with Islamic functionality and features numerous relics, including ancient furniture, paintings, calligraphy tablet art, and the Koran in both Arabic and Chinese.

• Muslim Quarter - The first culinary stop is Jia San Restaurant, where you can enjoy guantang baozi. Be cautious when eating these steamed buns as they are filled with hot, flavorful gravy! Once satisfied, indulge in delicious barbecue at another vendor down the street. Your BBQ options include lamb, beef, or fish, paired with bingfeng, Xi’an’s version of a soda that tastes like orange juice. Shredded pancake and sesame fillets await you at another restaurant. Relax and savor this delightful dish at your own pace, and remember to save room for dessert! Stroll down Muslim Street and visit a popular vendor for a delectable persimmon pancake.

With this tour, your local guide will take you to the finest spots offering the best local food and provide a comprehensive overview of the dishes you try and the places you visit.
