Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Muslim Quarter, West of Bell Drum Towers Square , Beilin District, Xi’an 710000 China
Meet your guide in an easy-to-find location, then walk to one of the two most popular food districts of Xi’an. It is an ancient style building complex with a large collection of the most famous local snacks from all over the province!
Here we will taste the savory Chinese hamburger – round pita bread stuffed with minced pork, and then visit the only food museum in the same area within the wall.
After a short stroll through a park we will take a quick bus ride to the Muslim quarter, the other food marketplace in a community with a 1300 year history. It’s not only a place of historic interest but the most colorful and bustling area, a real kaleidoscope of local life! The rest of our tour will mainly take place in this humble but richly cultural district!
These 5-6 eateries are scattered around the district, some on main streets and others tucked away in back streets, but they all cook for the locals.
While visiting these food stops, you will learn a lot about the local’s lives and the family restaurants that have been making their specialties for generations.
You’ll watch your food being made and learn about what makes it so special to Xi’an locals. Whether it’s sitting by an old man grilling meat over burning coals or watching dumplings being made right in front of you, whether you are shredding your own pita bread for “Pita Bread Soaked in Lamb Soup”(Yangroupao) or listening to the sound of making fresh Biangbiang noodle, there are always something for you to try!
The tour will be done mainly by walking and private tuk-tuk that can only be found in the area!
