Lots of people
first met and ask me where am I from, when I say Xi An, they all tell me the
don't know this city. And when I say Terra-Cotta Warriors in my hometown,
someone knows, but someone still don't know. They only know China about our
capital city Beijing or our economy capital Shang Hai. So in this blog I will
introduce my hometown Xi An, a historical city!
Xi'an, formerly
read as Sian, is the capital of Shaanxi province, located in the northwest of
the People's Republic of China, in the center of the Guanzhong Plain. One of
the oldest cities in China, the city was known as Chang'an before the Ming
dynasty. Xi'an is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, having held
the position under several of the most important dynasties in Chinese history,
including Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang. Xi'an is the starting point of the
Silk Road and home to the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
The travel
information I think all covered by the hyperlink. So I want show you the street
food about Xi An.I admit it, I ate every single item featured on this page, and
it's a very long page. If you hate street food, give up now and go make
yourself a piece of pritikin toast. If you love it, read on and be prepared to
feel very, very hungry by the end. All of this incredible food comes from
Xi'an's fabled Muslim Quarter, home to a sizeable population of Hui Chinese
muslims. To find it, just head north from the Drum Tower in the old city, and
follow your nose down the small streets. Chao Liang Fen Stir Fried Bean Jelly. We started
with a meal of this gelatinous mixture, scooped into our bowls from a gigantic
steaming griddle. Fried flatbreads stuffed with a mildly spiced lamb mixture
were offered alongside. The crispness of the flatbreads was a great contrast to
the soft cubes of bean starch, gently fried with a fragrant and heavy mutton
stock, bean sprouts and chili.
Grilled quail eggs, served five in a row on a stick, and brushed
with sesame paste Impossibly delicious.
I will add more in my next blog. Hope you like it.
