The Muslim Quarter

---

I love the Muslim quarter. It's a small area in the center of Xi'an, but its nooks and crannies are filled with wonders for the senses. Colorful clothes, trinkets, signs, and food are everywhere. Aromas fill the air and tickle your nose, making your mouth water with each step down the crowded streets. And yet, there's a special calm to the area that I find relaxing and invigorating at the same time. I don't feel rushed but I feel energized. People smile and are friendly, and you just feel good and excited about the next turn of your head, not sure what delights will meet your eyes.

My favorite bread
This round loaf is bigger than my head.

Eat here
Worth the hovering for a table and the wait.

Biang Biang Mian
A local food. Best thing I ate in Xi'an.

This is just weird
In the bazaar by the mosque

Most hyper kid ever
Yet, charming and sweet. For a little terror.
