“Variety of shops & mostly inexpensive prices”
Nov 2020
The weather was on the chilly side for shopping, but we still had an entertaining & lovely time. Less crowded during the day. The previous evening, it was much more crowded and looked more exciting when people come to eat and shop in the night market.
“Fantastic Chinese hamburgers”
Sep 2020
Definitely worth an evening visit, even if only for the atmosphere. Only a few hundred metres long (street name Beiyuanmen) but stuffed full of foodstalls, shops and people. Don't miss the excellent roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) - you'll see the long queues for two stalls at the South end - washed down with fresh pomegranate juice. And to add to the atmosphere you can gaze at or even climb up the floodlit Drum Tower, also at the South end and the Bell Tower, a few hundred metres West

Love it!
Dec 2019
As a muslim, I have to choose my food wisely. When I visited Muslim market, I was so happy because it felt like I found a food heaven in China. The food was good, the market was so crowded and unique. You have to visit this market when you go to Xian because you won't find another market like this in other city in China.

GREAT PLACE FOR AN EVENING STROLL
Oct 2014 • Couples
This is more of a night time activity. You walk the crowded back laneways of the market where the vendors small stalls are crammed together leaving little room to walk if there are other people out shopping and there are always many others out shopping, eating or just people watching. You can buy almost anything here, although you can be sure most are knockoffs of the name brands they sport. Bargaining is expected and although the starting prices they give you are not high by North American standards you can still bargain lower (off half of what they ask and you'll probably settle somewhere around 60 - 70% of their original price). Take a look at the menus of the food vendors and some of the smaller restaurants. It's quite an eyeful of what some people eat in other cultures (deep fried squid-on-a-stick is very popular). Definitely try to have your evening meal at one of the restaurants that has tables with a view of the streets. Really enjoyed the walk and look (wife really enjoyed the bargaining and buying).

Xian - Old NON TOURIST MARKET
Sep 2011 • Couples
There is the Muslim market, close to the Old Mosque nearby the Drum Tower. This market is OK but with mainly souvenirs shops for tourist.
There is an other “non tourist” market in the west of the old town, west of the Lianhu Park, from Hungbu street to Laowu Alley. It is close to the Western ancient mosque (not the same as the Old Central Moque)Here you will find the local market where they will sell all kind of spices, vegetables, fruits,…
It all is very colorful, the smell of herbs floats through the air. You can have all kind of freshly made Dim Sums.

Great day at Muslim Market! Food/Shopping
Sep 2019 • Family
Had a great time at the Muslim Markets. My son had candy floss bigger than his head, the Xian burger is so delicious and the shopping is awesome. Be prepared to barter if you want a good price. We had our tourguide to help us with bartering. Lovely local scene with lots of delicious street foods to try, awesome shopping and great atmosphere. Thoroughly reccomend if you are a foody and love shopping. Lively place with lots of lights, people and vibrancy. Defintely worth a visit if you are in Xian.

"Red, hot, chili peppers",lasagnia looking noodles and crazy taxis! Do not miss it!!
Apr 2016 • Business
It is actually an "all inclusive food flea market" in the old part of Xi'an city. The strong smells, the colors, the exhibition of total process for wide strip lasagnia noodles, the crazy 3-wheel taxis (hand made and electrically weld) the "all glass small bus taxis" (as well hand made and welded), the yelling of salesmen altogether create a critical submass of an unknown parallel world that lives, works and evolves (I hope) in this long shaped area of the old city.
Allow yourself to stroll and absorb whatever you can with all your senses! Do not fear to eat, everything is clean and safe (we tasted a lot of stuffs without consequences) .
I strongly though advise you all, go to toilet before entering this maddening "Court of miracles" (Oliver Twist) since no restaurant has any toilet in this area. And to try the common to all WC in this place is a not so douce experience....

Muslim Market
Dec 2015 • Family
This is a must see with its sights, sound, smell and tastes of local snacks and food. Their meat sandwiches are dry to taste but after a few the meat gets very flavorful of course you must like lamb and goat meat. Just be careful of bicycle and scooters front and back. A great photo rich environment: the food vendors are generally clean.

Such a busy little street, open air sellers selling all things on sticks, cooked meats, traditional toffees, dates and so it goes on, there is also an undercover section of the market where souvenirs can be purchased, don't forget to haggle it is all part of the visit
