Muslim Quarter in Xian


Muslim Quarter in Xian, situated near the Bell and Drum Tower, is the epicenter of the city's Muslim community, dating back to the days of the Silk Road.

There is a Chinese style Grand Mosque hiding in the quarter with stunning brick carving in it, it is highly recommended to visit while traveling to China.
