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:

Hey, sometimes a guy's gotta check his phone.
Lots of meat.
The walnut man.
This guy is stretching candy. It's quite a show!
Tomatoes for sale. The sign warns against touching.
A big ol' pile of meat. Notice the skinned lamb (I think) on the right.
Many spices for sale.
Get your nuts here!
Mmm, squid.
Pomegranates are a super food.
