The Muslim Quarter of Xi'An, Part II

Muslim Quarter - Picture of street.

The Muslim Quarter's lively main street.

On my first trip to Xi'An (西安), I became enthralled by the Muslim Quarter. The blaring music, blinking lights and steaming food were all intoxicating. On my second trip, there was no way I would miss it. The Muslim Quarter is one of the most stimulating environments I've ever experienced. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back, yet again. Maybe next time I'll film the action. Maybe. But for now, you'll have to settle for a few photos:
