Xi’an Muslim Quarter: Halal Food, Great Mosque and Arabic Al

I visit Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter to see how Islam has shaped the city for more than 1,000 years. I sample halal street foods, including roujiamo, wander through alleyways that feel like a bazaar, and discover an Arabic calligraphy shop filled with Islamic items. The Great Mosque of Xi’an stands at the heart of the quarter, revealing how Chinese mosques are unique. I explore nearby homes with Arabic blessings over their doors, then continue wandering the streets to try more halal dishes and pastries. The episode weaves together food, architecture, and living culture, offering a sensory look at a long-standing Muslim presence in Xi’an.
