    at 23:34.The dish you had, called "肉夹馍" (Roujiamo), is sometimes referred to as the "Chinese-style hamburger." In your case, it was filled with chicken, but it's a versatile dish that can also be made with beef, and it's equally delicious. Additionally, the owner of the shop you visited is a person with hearing impairment. That's why he asked you to point to the flavor you wanted using your fingers, with options like "不辣" (not spicy), "微辣" (mildly spicy, which you chose), and "麻辣" (spicy). There were also two lines of text on top that read, "你好,我是听障人士,我听不到你们说什么。请你们把想吃的味道指给我看," which translates to "Hello, I am a person with hearing impairment, and I can't hear what you're saying. Please use your fingers to show me the flavor you want to eat."

      I would like to share you something very interesting in the Chinese Internet about UK and Xi'an.
      Take a look at the entire map of the United Kingdom, and then look at the province where Xi'an is located, the map of Shaanxi Province, China. You will discover many interesting things:
      1.The map outlines are quite similar.
      2.The northern regions of both the United Kingdom and Shaanxi are relatively barren. Both regions can be divided into three areas, and there can be some differences and disagreements between them.lol🤣
      3.Both capitals have rivers flowing through them.
      4.The United Kingdom invented the hamburger, while Xi'an invented the Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). Both are dishes with meat between bread or buns.
      5.Jason Statham was born in London, while Guo Da was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi.(they look like twins)
      6.The iconic landmark in the United Kingdom is Big Ben, while Xi'an's landmark is the Bell Tower."

      肉夹馍 (Roujiamo) is not the "Chinese hamburger".
      If anything, hamburger is the "American roujiamo".
      Why? Because roujiamo was invented centuries before hamburger.

    China has a vast geography, and there are 8 major schools of Chinese cuisine. What you see abroad is only a small part. Since most of the people who opened restaurants abroad in the early days were Cantonese people from Hong Kong, most of the Chinese food in the eyes of foreigners was just Cantonese food. Cantonese cuisine is refreshing and sweet.

    I just want to say that as a Chinese student, I am hungry when I see the food you eat. There are many delicious foods in China, except for some very famous dishes such as hot pot, which are relatively expensive and we can't eat them often. However, another characteristic of China is street food. First, it is very cheap, and you can buy very delicious food with little money, and students and others often buy it. Second, the food is served very quickly. For students or office workers who don't have time to cook or find a restaurant to eat, street food can meet their needs very well. Third, the variety is rich. China is a vast country. You can eat a variety of unique foods from different places. Fourth,China has a long history of farming civilization and a long history of food culture. In ancient China and now , food was an important part of people's lives.Eating a variety of delicious foods is a kind of happiness for us.❤❤😊😊😂

Best of all, it's so cheap. I can't say much about the Chinese food in Europe. It doesn't taste authentic to me. For the last sandwich you had, the vendor was pointing three spice levels: 1.Mild, 2.Medium spicy, and 3.Spicy. I would go for #2 as well.

    There is a reason that you enjoyed the trip, because you are very sweet and friendly, then what you see is sweet and friendly, if you go there with a default bias, you will not enjoy anything but only negatives.

Years later, he was still seen eating food on the streets of Chengdu.

    If you are already in Xi'an, it doesn't hurt to visit even further West - Xinjiang (It's still a 2400km train ride). The natural scenery there are absolutely stunning; snow mountains, endless desert, great steppe, lakes and forests. The Islamic culture of Uyghurs is beautiful, too. I even met some white Kyrgyz tribes with blue eyes as well, I suspect they might even be the Romans who travelled east and merged into local nomads. If you have time, it's worth it.

    Xi'an was one of the ancient capitals. What is so special about Xi'an is that the city was once connected through Central Asia, the Middle East, and all the way to Europe as far as Rome. It was connected via the Silk Road. The Silk Road was an ancient trading route.

The last vendor is apparently deaf, he says he won't understand if you speak, so please point (to indicate which spicy level).
