Getting there

Take Metro Line 2 or 6 to Zhonglou and head toward the Drum Tower. Beiyuanmen (北院门) gives you a clear starting point for the food lanes.

Admission

Public streets are free. The Great Mosque and other venues can have separate admission and opening hours.

What to see

Start with the food stalls on the main street, then follow a quieter side lane for a different view of the neighborhood.

Plan your visit

Small portions make it easier to try several dishes. Keep pedestrian paths clear and treat nearby places of worship as separate stops.

Go earlier to walk more easily, or leave an evening for snacks. If you are vegetarian or have allergies, ask about broth, oil and fillings before ordering.
