Xi'an is a city that fascinates me. It has a history of four dynasties, a long history, a prosperous and dreamy Chang' an City, and the legendary life of Imperial Consort Yang.

Xi'an witnessed the Terracotta Warriors built by the Great Qin Dynasty with the power of the whole country for Qin Shihuang, witnessed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for more than 200 years, once owned the most glorious and magnificent palace complex in the world, witnessed that it was once the most powerful country in the world, and has extremely high art and culture, its charming charm, all depends on your imagination.

In addition to its magnificent history and culture, Xi'an also has various delicious snacks. The place most tourists will go is Hui Street. Hui Street is next to the Bell and Drum Tower, close to the Drum Tower, and very close to the Bell Tower subway station. It is only about two to three hundred meters away.

Huimin Street is a famous food and cultural district in Xi'an and the oldest and most distinctive snack district in Xi'an. The Beiyuanmen where it is located is the official office area of the Qing Dynasty. Because the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen is north of the Drum Tower, it is named Beiyuanmen. In the late 1990s, some Hui people rented houses and operated catering on this street. Lianhu District was transformed into the direction of Catering Street, and Beiyuanmen became Hui Street.

There are really many delicacies on Hui Street, including ruddy and oily stewed sheep feet, red willow branch kebabs, fragrant mutton steamed buns, long queues of cured meat buns, and refreshing Qinzhen rice skins, unique Biangbiang noodles, hot meatballs and spicy soup, delicious noodles, gourd head steamed buns, small fried steamed buns, persimmon cakes, sour plum soup, etc., and of course, there are also delicious snacks from other places. It is really dazzling and countless.

Personally, I like eating Xi'an rice skin very much, which is what we usually call cold rice skin, a snack made with rice paste. Put on all kinds of fresh bean sprouts and cucumbers, and then pour on the red and spicy oil pepper and vinegar. Gee, the taste is really, I don't want it anymore. It's so delicious and very refreshing. Moreover, different cold rice noodles will have different ingredients. Some rice skins will be added with fragrant sesame paste. It is recommended to taste them all. They all taste very good. Eating a bowl of cold rice noodles in summer will be clear and refreshing.

There is also this red willow branch roast meat. You have to try it too. It is a kind of mutton, beef and chicken with red willow branches unique to Xinjiang. It is said that this red willow branch can produce a unique aroma, similar to our traditional Sannai star anise, and also has a natural fragrance of plants. After roasting on charcoal fire, the aroma is forced into the meat. The aroma of the branches mixes with the aroma of oil in the meat to form a perfect and unique barbecue flavor. It's delicious. You have to order more skewers!

We also found a stewed dish from Huimin Street, which tastes very delicious, especially her family's stewed oil, which is very fragrant. According to the boss, it was mixed with dozens of spices. It has been passed down for decades. A secret recipe, well, I don't care whether your ancestral secret recipe is or not, I just want to taste it, and I will share it with everyone if it is delicious. The potatoes and chicken feet here are very delicious and not particularly soft and rotten. With a few drops of stewed oil, the taste is very great! The price is also very authentic. All vegetarian dishes are 15 yuan per catty, and meat dishes such as chicken feet and chicken gizzards are 40 yuan per catty.

The price of delicious food on Huimin Street is also unique. The price depends on which street it is located on. For example, if the same bowl of cold rice noodles is sold on the widest and widest street next to the Drum Tower, it will cost a few yuan more, but if it is sold on the narrower street next to it, it will be much cheaper. In fact, Hui Street is not just one street. The entire Hui Food Street is composed of several streets such as Beiguangji Street, Beiyuanmen, Xiyang City, Dapiyuan, Huajue Lane, Sajinqiao, Miaohou Street, etc., and countless alleys, large and small. Only by walking into these alleys behind you can you truly experience the life and diet of the local Hui people. These alleys are the old Xi'an that truly has the atmosphere of fireworks and markets.

In the Hui Food Street, in addition to tourists coming to check in, local Xi'an residents also come to buy food from time-honored brands. Most of them come slowly during off-duty hours, ride a bicycle, buy the food they often eat, and then take it home to share with their family. We saw a shop selling beef and roujiamo with a unique name: thin paste rotten raw and cooked meat shop. Starting from 5 p.m. every day, there is a large number of customers here. There is a long line at the door to buy his beef. Most of them are locals. We have also lined up to buy it. It is indeed good. Of course, the price is also very good because it is expensive. Ah, haha.

Of course, the food on Huimin Street is far more than what I have introduced. There are many more. If you have time, come here and have a stroll. You will definitely find food that will make your taste buds burst.

After talking so much about the delicious food on Hui Street, let's talk about the B & Bs on Hui Street. Before we set off this time, we booked a room in advance on the Tujia B & B APP, and we specially chose Huimin Street because of its convenience. First, it is close to the subway station, so we won't travel far with our luggage, saving time and effort. Second, because there are many delicious food in Huimin Street, and we don't have to spend time looking for Xi'an food. Third, we have always booked rooms on the Tujia B & B APP in the past, all of which are live shots and true reviews. We have never been deceived once, so, I have always believed in Tujia B & B.

This time we found this B & B, and when we selected it on the Tujia B & B APP, we fell in love with it at first glance. The fresh green color is really my love, and the soft sofa is very classy at first glance. In addition, it is located at the intersection of Huimin Street. Although it is an old house without an elevator, it is not tiring to climb stairs on the third floor, so it was immediately decided that it was this one.

When we entered the room and looked, wow, it was great! Seeing is like a picture, there is no change at all. The photo is very good!

It is a super cozy B & B that people like very much. It has all kinds of facilities, a washing machine and a place to dry clothes. The kitchen and bathroom are clean. Except for the small hot water, there are basically no shortcomings. Overall, very happy!
