This is one of the food stalls found in the Muslim Quarter of Xi'an City. 

It is a popular place for locals to browse in the street, have a meal or buy food or other items.

Our guide, Nian Er Long (R), poses with SK (Chong), my travelling companion at the entrance to the residence of a famous Chinese scholar from an earlier era. Er Long's name, given by his mother) is reminiscent of the Year 2K . 

This building has four storeys, being a store front and space for accommodation/storage. Owner must be quite wealthy, I reckon.

 

Er Long informed us that this is one of the favourite foods in X-an. It's called Yangrou Paomo. Essentially it's mutton soup with pieces of bread soaked in it. 

This is my favourite fruit for juicing. I have savoured it so sweetly here, in Turkey, Georgia and Armenia. What is quite costly in my country is comparatively inexpensive here. And, it's packed full of anti-oxidants and other components which could keep inflammation and hypertension away. 

Xi'an Bell Tower in the Bell Tower Square. Originally built in 1384 (Ming Dynasty), it has undergone rebuilding and movement over its history. Despite this, the original structure remains largely unchanged. Its original bell (named Jingyun Bell) has been moved to another Xi'an museum.  

Believe it? This is a part of Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (opened 20 Feb 2025)!  Located on Level Four of Terminal Five of the airport, it is the only airport museum in the World. The central idea behind this museum is to store and display relics and treasures unearthed during the construction of the airport. There are several halls like the Hall of Treasures and the Hall of Convergence (which displays artifacts unearthed during the airport's construction on a somewhat permanent basis).  

Qin Gong Bo is a bell from the Spring and Autumn periods (771BC to 476 BC) - corresponding approximately to the first half of the Eastern Zhou era. It is on display for a period of a few months in the Hall of Treasures after which another item will be exhibited.
