Travel to CHINA after COVID: EATING my way through XI'AN 🇨🇳

Xi'an is a cultural melting pot in central China. Once the start (or terminus) of the famous Silk Road, today it's home to a fascinating blend of ethnic Han Chinese, muslims, and ancient historical monuments. It's also home to some pretty incredible food that is not easy to find elsewhere in China.
In my Travel to China after COVID series, today we're in central China, where I'm eating my way through Xi'an and exploring its historical city center. Join me!

this channel is underrated. Amazing content

[@travelfareatlocal]

🙏

[@lizz7805]

xi'an is my second hometown, i spent my formative years there before i moved to the US. the food, the culture and the history will always be in my heart.

[@jianingchen1297]

I love how you get informed about the places you visit and try to experience things as a local. I’m Chinese but even I can’t understand the totality of my country and all the different people and cultures that reside in such a vast country. I’m happy to see how open minded and compromised you are in your trips!

[@nikeismygfxu5515]

The way you talk to people is very very kind respect that!!!

[@mengshuwu6744]

The video quality is amazing and the research of the history and the food is impressive too! Rarely subscribe any KZbin accounts, but just subscribed this one with respect.

[@seaweed9999]

Impressed how much you have researched about the local history, culture and food. Your videos are both entertaining and educational.

[@travelfareatlocal]

🙏

[@hl5478]

You made a excellent video not like others who just hanged around, you share so many background information. Nice work 👍

[@travelfareatlocal]

I appreciate that!

[@DailyGPT365]

agree!!!

[@kenyup7936]

welcome to China, ty for those videos, they're well filming as well as editing our food is affordable and vary lol , ty for trying street food, lol and I hope you enjoy your time

[@taotao98103]

What I'm surprised about China is that many ancient buildings survivied. Many buildings stood here 3000 years ago. This is very rare in the West. Many ancient buildings in the West were churches and they were built, they were damaged in the war, they were rebuilt and they crumbled down and they were rebuilt all within only 300 years.

[@blardymunggas6884]

Such high quality content. Amazing work👍🏻

[@travelfareatlocal]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jjc4232]

Love your channel.

[@alvinnnliu]

8:36 晨钟暮鼓: Ringing a bell at dawn, beating a drum at dusk. Very well explained! Again, another high-quality video!

[@naomihung1834]

Thanks for sharing this amazing video, you really did a great research about XI'AN, the history and the background etc. and you are so humble and kind!!!

[@travelfareatlocal]

🙏

[@iris-leaving-]

It can be seen that you have done a lot of planning in advance! Welcome to here again!

[@starfish253]

This is really good. He”d like an online tour guide who also explains the history in an interesting way.

[@starfish253]

You deserve to have a travel documentary show on TV. Learn so much from you travel vlog

[@travelfareatlocal]

@@starfish253 🙏

[@jonah_lau]

In the middle part where you introduced Liangpi, it's clear that you've done lots of research thoroughly. Great job!

[@travelfareatlocal]

Thanks so much!

[@abcxyz9288]

really love your editing style and storytelling! i haven’t been back to china since i was a child so will be living vicariously through your videos:)

[@dududu3996]

Bro you should ve tried beef xiaochao paomo which is like a sour spicy version of paomo. So so bomb. 刘信小炒泡馍is quite authentic that is located in the Muslim quarter too.

[@hengxiang32401]

You are so amazy guy that know much about local city cultrue more than the most of local people.

[@icebaby6714]

Wow, what an exotic part of China!

[@travelfareatlocal]

Thank you! Will do!

[@karenhsu3610]

“The thing about China is that it will always surprise you”. As a Chinese, I’m always amazed by China every time I travel to different regions where the people and the food are unique in its own way.

[@etumwesiga]

I found this vlog on the online Travel Inspiration Magazine. I think reading is the first step to discovery

Nice choice to traveling to xian if you're a noodle fans. People there really make the best noodle in china

[@chendiqu7656]

My hometown🥰

[@Gehirnzelle31]

Great video, thanks! :)

[@travelfareatlocal]

Glad you liked it!

[@mushfiqwahed5409]

What’s the name of the Muslim Quarter Street, where you ate Pao Ma? Amazing content btw. Visiting Xian in August

[@shirleylee2885]

He is a very smart person.

[@llcc77]

As you are talking about needing to find PaoMo at 10:56, there are 2 big store signs in black just behind screaming Traditional Beef PaoMo and Traditional Lamb PaoMo? Even at 10:37 you see the sign in Red Lau Liu Jia, Traditional Lamb PaoMo?

[@xzxleo]

good content

[@yche3280]

Great Vlog

[@travelfareatlocal]

Thank you!!

[@sashaw5364]

Miss my hometown

[@zhihuafu]

三年疫情好多地方都没有去🤣加油朋友

[@jay_leng]

Liangpi is from wheat flower, but gluten washed out. They separate the protein part and starch part of wheat flower to get diversity of texture. Gluten part also comes back to liangpi dish as little chewy cubes.

[@jay_leng]

BTW, if you try "you po mian", you get similar flavour of unseparated wheat noodle, but hot dish though.

[@liushuhan9010]

下一站去重庆，成都，11月8号来成都看梅西领衔的迈阿密国际vs成都蓉城商业赛😂😂😂 The next stop is Chongqing, Chengdu. Come to Chengdu on November 8th to watch the Inter Miami vs Chengdu Rongcheng Business Tournament led by Messi

[@XIVI_SRN]

Xi’an have really nice noodles. And the halal food is also nice

[@333_Tarot]

All i have in fridge now is fish fingers 😆

[@accesser]

Wow , Brings back some memory's I visited in 2014, I recall doing the full walk along the wall and really getting a bit lost without access to Google, keep up the good videos man thanks for the work that goes into them

[@LeleakaLily]

I’m from here and now I live in California. I’m surprised you used km not miles 😂

[@user-ik6zs5pp2h]

😮😮😮😮

[@xzxleo]

done good 🎉

[@jerryfish09]

You even know Ice Peak is Xi An local soda!

[@enontra]

Hi sir, im going to xian this november with wife. this is our 1st time visit china. Could you give us some tips or advise? thank you sir.

[@travelfareatlocal]

Learn Chinese lol at least try to learn a few phrases, it will help a lot. Download a VPN before you go to China. Download an offline maps app to use as Google maps usually doesn’t work well. Then just have fun! It’s an amazing city.

[@nanyanguo1]

It was the Han emperor Wudi who initiated the Silk Road more than 2 millenials ago. HIS envoy Zhang Qian travelled to west asia and back to lay the foundation for the opening of trading routes, diplomatic n cultural exchanges btw east n west. Chinese invented goods like silk, tea, porcelain n noodles were brought to europe via the silk road.

[@elie1sh537]

Underrated but amazing

[@travelfareatlocal]

🙏

[@zhangguai]

我的天，朋友你真是提前做了大量的准备工作！视频的质量非常高啊！怎么订阅数会这么少？

[@scottsteiner9429]

Great video! I see that you used cash. That's great news for me. I was going there in April and was concerned about whether my Wechat Pay would work.

[@travelfareatlocal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mechannel7046]

Xi'an is such an interesting city.

[@user-ik6zs5pp2h]

西安很漂亮❤

[@nzr460t]

I am hungry now in midnight.

[@ymhktravel]

Have you gone or will you be going to Xinjiang?

[@travelfareatlocal]

I have not but would love to. Hopefully sometime!

[@jet3910]

西安是非常棒的选择，是中国传统的城市，比现代化城市有趣得多。还可以去一些小城市，比如：承德、平遥、义乌、宁波、景德镇、桂林，我去过这些都有不错的经历。

[@coreycheung7988]

i miss my hometown :(

[@user-ik6zs5pp2h]

大唐不夜城 你没有去

[@sslc296]

这些是景区 里面东西会很贵

[@jerryfish09]

Why don’t you upload your train video here?

[@jarrodyuki7081]

oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@arainmk]

Islam started in the 7th century, so it took a little over a century to get this mosque built in Xian.

[@user-vu3bn6us7c]

Roujiamo is actually filled with pork, except Muslim area😂

[@user-vu3bn6us7c]

Bread pieces are not small enough, it should have the size similar to a pea

[@cbrfishingguy9623]

It is sheep. only southern Chinese people eat goat

[@ol1163]

Biang Biang noddles are not unique to muslim population. They're a type of noodles that people in Xi'an eat daily, in either Muslim or Han style. How the noodles are made is the same for the two styles. The difference is around toppings. Non-halal noodles are topped with pork whereas halal would use beef.
