Every city has one or several old streets that are beloved by tourists, and Xi'an is no exception. Huimin Street, as one of the representatives of Xi'an's charm, is a must-visit place for tourists coming to Xi'an. The location of Huimin Street, Beiyuanmen, was the official district during the Qing Dynasty, named so because the Shaanxi governor's office was located north of the Drum Tower. In the late 1990s, some Hui people rented houses on this street to run restaurants, leading Lianhu District to transform it into a dining street, thus Beiyuanmen became Huimin Street. Huimin Street is about 500 meters long, running north to south, with bluestone paving and shaded by green trees. On both sides of the road are buildings styled after the Ming and Qing dynasties, either restaurants or shops, all operated by Hui people, showcasing a strong halal characteristic. Walking in the area, you can see shops that blend traditional Chinese architectural styles with Muslim architectural styles, as well as halal groceries and dining establishments. In addition to Beiyuanmen, Daxuexi Alley, and Xiyang Market, it also includes a large area such as Dapiyuan, Dongyang Market, Beiguangji Street, and Qiaozikou. The old Xi'an refers to this area as "Fangshang," where one can explore the most ordinary and authentic life of Xi'an. Currently, there are over 60,000 Hui Muslim residents living here, and it has become a major place for people to enjoy snacks and leisure shopping, especially the night market in summer, which is particularly lively and should not be missed.
