Why do mosques in China have Chinese architectural styles? Because they started in the Tang Dynasty, just like Buddhist temples, they also have Chinese styles. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty, all religions that entered China were required to build in Chinese styles. These Chinese-style mosques and Buddhist temples have existed for more than a thousand years. The BBC reported that the Chinese government was trying to destroy Islamic mosques because the Chinese government requires that mosques must be Chinese military buildings. The BBC is a media habitual of lying.
among all the foreigner vlogs I love yours the most. You apparently know how to do the plan ahead of your trip and you are kind and gentle to Chinese people. You respect the culture and are brave to try so many different stuff. Xi'an has so many tasty food and some people call it the city of carbs lol.
Besides Shanghai and Xi'an, Chengdu and Chongqing also welcome friends from all over the world. Chengdu is the hometown of giant pandas, the United Nations awarded the title of the food capital; Chongqing is a city of mountains and rivers, with a magical three-dimensional transportation network
Glad you like my hometown, even though im not a muslim, but its always a big part of my life, after going abroad and met some muslim made me realize how friendly they are
My American professor visited Xi'an many years ago, and when I visited him several years later in the States, he said he had the best dumpling in Xi'an, and that his mouth was literally watering when talking about it. 😀
Doug my dear a while ago I saw you in Iraq Baghdad in Karrada specifically and I missed you 🤗 You have a person dressed in black and an honorable person. I was happy to see you often❤.
Hello Doug! I'm glad you can come to this great city of Xi'an! I have lived here for four years and attended college for four years. Seeing all the food and places in your video reminds me of the days I used to live here. Thank you for sharing such a real side of China, thank you again!
Thanks for the video. You are really brave and daring for traveling alone in Xi'an because I am an oversea Chinese. Last time I went to Xi'an was 40 years ago and I joined a tour group so I was led to places where the tour guide showed us. May be I should revisit the city again. Keep it up!😀💯👍
I love your channel, man. So many UA-cam travel vloggers are so judgmental and disrespectful. I won't name names, but some of them are very popular. They see everything through their Western (often American) lens, and are always saying and doing things on camera that seem downright rude. I appreciate that you always make an earnest attempt to speak the local language and to embrace the local customs.
Your video is very real. I love it. Please not over edit your video, the more real your video, the more I feel like i was there with you, traveling.. 👍👍👍
Damn, you did your homework so well! As a local who grew up in this province now live in Australia, I can tell all the food you picked are very unique to Xi'an and authentic. I miss the cold noodle (LiangPi) so badly. I eat this as my daily breakfast when I was there. That will be the top 1 food must eat next time when I back to China. Thank you for bringing back my memory!
Great educational and entertaining video. There are many other travel vlogs dealing mostly with food, and touristic places to visit and of interest. Adding info on where to stay, cost, location, etc would make it that much more informative and helpful. Cheers and all the best!
I've been to Xi'an during my undergrad years, and it's really beautiful, and the local food, including meat buns, goulash chicken, and lamb in water pots, is really good!
Wow! You're a real foodie, I'm living in Xi'an, and some of the snacks you tasted, only the Local people know. you probably did a lot of research before arriving.
awesome stuff! you researched ahead on which noodle dishes to try out? I know these Xian style dishes are rare to find in California but when I do they are great.
You gotta be the only UA-camr who loves spciy food. Those who do not take some of the Chinese food with any of that hot stuff have no idea what they are missing !
you eat so much the night😂，I have tried that lamb soup，when it cools down，there is a thick solid lamb oil on the top，so much calories，can't believe that you go on and eat two deserts😂
That "jelly" like stuff in your first breakfast is most probably tapioca or maize powdered starch which is commonly used to thicken soups and some other dishes.
Xian was known as Chang’An in dynastic China. Was the alternate capital together with Luoyang basically until after the Tang dynasty. Sesame is an important ingredient in Chinese cooking. We use it for both sweet and savory dishes, quite a bit.
China has a huge land and rich resources. Different areas have different dialects, foods, and cultural scenes. I hope you can visit different places, learn about different cultural landscapes, and show as many features as possible. Thank you so much for all your help for China.
No empty stuff in the video loke oh i wake i sitted i bla bla. Only the most important- FOOD and some different stuff but not too much. I absolutely love how you film food. The video is very good I'subscribed and will watch other your video.
Hi mr Doug you'r such a unique traveller and love you'r videos Greetings for you , i hope you be safe where ever you go ❤ And sorry if my English writing is bad B/C i'm still learning the language😊

thank you so much, i appreciate that!!
Nice, as a Xi'aner, I definitely can say the restaurants you went are pretty authentic that normal locals also go.
woohoo glad to hear that!!
I have also been to this restaurant
这家伙肯定查攻略了
现在外国游客越来越精明了，找得到最好的东西
所以这是哪儿啊？回民街？
Bro, you're so polite and gentle ,i like the way u communicate with Chinese people. subscribed
我是西安人，回族。😊你去的鼓楼，大皮院儿，也是我在家时常去的美食圣地！我看的口水直流~😅胡辣汤，酸汤水饺，biangbiang面，麻酱凉皮，羊肉泡馍，菁糕，and lots more! ah~~ they are all my favorite! 💖🤗😋
镜糕确实挺好吃，我还记得小学那会门口有个拿木蒸屉卖镜糕的🤤🤤🤤

穆斯林友好是分派别的，一神教都有很多极端派别
مدينة مذهلة والطعام يبدو لذيذًا شكرا لك
I like your style. Not too exaggerating and I can tell you are enjoying the process.

是的，西安的酸汤饺子是最香的
我是西安人，欢迎你来西安旅行，并祝你玩的愉快！其实花椒不一定非得是“四川花椒”，中国很多地方都种植花椒。陕西有很多花椒品种，非常好的品质，西安的花椒大部分来自于韩城和渭南等地。
回民街的食物和汉族的食物并没有什么区别，回民街有的，基本上西安每个地方都有。
实际上，回民街的穆斯林美食都来自于汉族，比如：凉皮（你说的冷面条）都是来自于陕西汉族传统美食，并不是来自于中东。中国西北食物和中东本来就很相似，因为一千年前的“丝绸之路”，将中国和中东、中亚紧密的联系在一起，互相影响。另外北方人以面食为主，比如很多饼（类似于馕Nang)并不是来自于中东，这是中国北方人的传统中国北方人也很早就种植了小麦。由于中国移民大多数来自于广东和福建，西方人认识到的中国都是吃米饭的，但事实上并不是如此。中国食物和文化有太多的多样性。南北方差异非常大，如果不是普通话，互相听不懂😅，北方的老一辈人，比如我的太爷爷一辈子没吃过米饭，也没见过大米，只有小米，在她生活的那个年代，她很早就去世了…
由于国外没有花椒，所以所有的花椒都翻译成“四川胡椒”，是为了和胡椒进行区分
实际上张骞凿穿西域是2000年前
因为丝绸之路把中国文化美食影响带到西方和中东东南亚等各个地区
步行街还有车进去，当地管理不行啊，地上垃圾很多，西安环卫管理真差啊，一个是打扫更主要是设置垃圾桶教导商户提醒游客不要乱扔垃圾，国内大多数美食街步行街都这样，垃圾堆里吃东西确实影响食欲
所有的花椒在英语里都叫 sichuan peppercorn，在美国产的也这么叫
Awesome China vlog. Love your little interactions with locals, especially that adorable curious shy little boy!
thank you!
Oh no, I shouldn't watch Chinese cuisine at night. As soon as I see it, it reminds me of the rich aroma and multi-level taste. I'm hungry now
Thanks!
thank you so much!! so generous of you!!🙏🙏🙏
Doug my dear a while ago I saw you in Iraq Baghdad in Karrada specifically and I missed you 🤗
You have a person dressed in black and an honorable person. I was happy to see you often❤.
Huge thanks to more and more honest vloggers, who expose every lie the mainstream western medias tell about China👍.
Agreed.
dumpling look very good. I ate once 40 years ago. I still remenber the taste. LOL
Hello Doug! I'm glad you can come to this great city of Xi'an! I have lived here for four years and attended college for four years. Seeing all the food and places in your video reminds me of the days I used to live here. Thank you for sharing such a real side of China, thank you again!
You actually found the Muslim Quarter in Xi'an, that's really impressive. Seeing so much delicious food has lifted my spirits.
It's really not that hard to find...
6:46 That little boy was ABSOLUTELY fascinated 😂
This is all amazing Doug! So hungry now.
was so good!!!
听说大博主客观拍中国西北的视频被限流，55万粉的博主20个小时只有一万多的播放，于是来支持下
我也是，限得太狠了
@@wengwen4163 于是我赶紧来关注下。
Everything looks delicious but I'm dying for the thick noodles!!
sooo good!!
Thank you for this! I love that you highlighted the different halal food options. Looking forward to more from you :)
I from India, your videos are most favorite of whole UA-cam channel.
这大半夜的，看饿了😂 feel hungry when watching your vlog, tomorrow morning I’ll eat in the Xi’An restaurant hear in Guangzhou.
As a Xi'aner living in the U.S., I love this video sooo much. this brought me back to my childhood memories

偏见吗？
最好自由行，跟团游有很多购物环节，体验没有自由行好。

啥鬼东西你以为中国跟其他国家一样危险不敢一个人去？
40年？那时候的中国和现在的中国已经完全不一样了。
great job of preparing and eating authentic local food！Thank you～

yessir, did a bit of research before, the options were too overwhelming 😂 thanks tony!!!
Hui Chinese are a fascinating ethnicity
Omg that dumpling soup looks amazing. But everything in that video looks insanely delicious,
I laughed out loud when you say it’s a little crowded, with eyes widely open!😅😅😅
Very nice video! Thank you for showing what China is truly like.
I should not watch this video on midnight,but you take a very good video,Bravo! I am very hungry now....
In our limited lives, experience as many wonderful things in this world as possible. You've done it. Wish you health and peace!
As a Chinese, ur vids have lots of nice historical references, gooooooood jobbbbbbbb❤

Can’t believe I stumbled upon an international version of Xi’an food recommendations, haha! My favorite has to be liangpi (cold noodles)!
All the food is delicious. Thank you for this amazing trip to China.🙌 15:52
That "jelly" like stuff in your first breakfast is most probably tapioca or maize powdered starch which is commonly used to thicken soups and some other dishes.
Hi! I wanna ask what's your camera's brand? Pictures are so clear and I just feel the good taste of food you shared through your videio.😊
as a Xianer in UK, my mouth is watering now😂 Xian is the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, we get super delicious food and amazing places to visit,❤
watching this while fasting is a challenge, really nice video ♥
Can you tell us which restaurants you went to? Especially for that liang pi and Yang rou pao mo. And the zheng gao! I’m visiting Xi’an next month!

Chinese do use sesame paste in their cuisine. In Chengdu and Chongqing, sesame paste is commonly used in noodles and also in dipping sauce.
Wow excellent video!! I can’t wait to visit XiAn

I love Xi’An foods! Especially the Hui Muslim foods! 😍
