Muslim Quarter
Excursions in Xian & Terracotta Army
Discover Xi'an's thriving Muslim Quarter, a bastion of local life, Chinese history and delicious street food.
At the height of the Silk Road trade, Arabic and Persian merchants settled in the area to study and so began the city’s Muslim community. Delve deep into the Muslim Quarter with a local expert guide and today much of Xi’an’s long history, thriving local culture and varied cuisine can be discovered in the district’s mosques, street markets and restaurants. It is a wonderful place to stroll the streets, try local delicacies, barter for souvenirs and soak up the sights, smells and sounds of this vibrant corner of Xi’an.
