About Muslim Quarter
The Muslim Quarter is Xi'an at its most vivid — a maze of lanes where lamb skewers smoke on charcoal, pita bread bakes in clay ovens, and the call to prayer echoes off Ming-dynasty walls. This Hui Muslim neighborhood has been the city's culinary heart for centuries. Staying here puts you within walking distance of the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and City Wall south gate. The energy is unmatched, especially at night when the main drag turns into a full food street. Choose a hotel one block off the main lane for sleep without sacrificing location.
Practical Tips
💡 Helpful Tips
Book a room one street back from the main drag — same location, half the noise
Breakfast here is legendary: try roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and persimmon cakes before 9am
The Great Mosque is inside the quarter and stunning at morning light — go before the tour groups
