Today the walls of the Ming dynasty and the Tang palace walls hint at the Xi’an’s glorious past. Stare in awe at the Terracotta Army, 7,000 terracotta statues of Qin Bingmayong Bowuguan warriors and soldiers. Dating from 210 BCE, they were discovered in 1974 and are still being excavated. Don't miss the Shaanxi History Museum or a chance to heat up at former imperial bathing spot, Huaqing Hot Springs.

Muslim Street is larger than just one street. It is an area of the Muslim quarter where there are food stalls on the streets, as well as some "fake" market streets to satisfy both your dining and shopping pleasure. You do not need a guide and you do not need to speak Chinese. All the food looks great. We tried the "Xi'an burgers", which were shredded lamb with some marinade and some hot sauce (if you want it). Fantastic. Went back for more many times during our stay - each time to a different vendor. We also tried the lamb skewers, pomegranate juice, and the "spicy, spicy, spicy" meatballs on a stick (a Chinese friend wanted to see me eat one). I couldn't eat more than 3 bites. It makes me hungry just thinking about Muslim Street. Lights, sounds, smells, and great people watching. Don't forget to bargain hard at the Fake market just off the Muslim Street.
