Ramada Hotel - Bell Tower Xi'an
I would highly recommend that visitors could stay in the trendy Ramada Hotel Bell Tower in Xi'an when you are on holiday. The price is very reasonable and it is located in the busiest main street like Singapore's Orchard Road or Bangkok's Sukhumvit Road where it easily connects to many interesting places.
Drum Tower Xi'an is just beside the Muslim Food Street
You can easily walk to the ancient landmarks like The City Wall, Muslim Food
Street, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and Subway train stations underground. We
also enjoyed our daily hot coffee at Starbucks and snack breads from Tous Les Jours.
Muslim Food Street
This famous & interesting Muslim Food Street is quite long and has
several main entrances that connects different streets. All the street
hawkers here are the Chinese Muslims who hail from
the ethnic "Hui Clan". Their facial features are very nice with
some Russian eyes & cheek bones.

We saw the Monkey God (Sun Wukong) walking
all over and teased the ladies to pose photos with him.
He would charge them a fee, of course..
This stall sells the cakes skewers that dip into
some sweet caramel.
Their fresh pomegranate juice was so refreshing and cheap!
It boosted up my energy and immunity.
We never missed their famous signature yoghurt in nice
white bottles. We brought home the bottles as souvenir
and converted them into pen holders.
This is a tray full of very hot spicy bean curds. They were so
delicious and burnt my mouth.
It was not a pleasant sight to see the carcasses of the lambs
hanging in several corners.
There are many stalls selling the famous Lamb Kebabs in skewers.
They eat a lot of lamb there.
This macho guy was showing off his stunts to pull the
sweet thick peanut caramel many times before cutting them.
Here they are cutting the soft peanut caramel before they harden into
sweets to be sold in plastic boxes.
This stall was selling their Spicy Noodles.
This stall was selling the preserved fruits which were harvested before winter.
The above baskets trays are walnuts.
The dark coloured drinks are boiled dates with pears and honey.
They are really tasty and good for health.
Many guys would shout loudly to attract the tourists as it was very competitive.
This guy was selling what is similar to our "Lok Lok" in bamboo sticks.
Their bread looked very attractive and it is quite hard!
They could keep them for days and dip them into soups
to eat. I think this is the common palate to the Hui and Uyghur
populations in the region of Xi'an and Kashgar in Xinjiang.
Rolled cigarettes are very cheap and popular which
comes in attractive tin containers.
