Edit History
Xi'an is my favourite city in China for food. Not my favourite Chinese cuisine*, but favourite city. As I said, I lived there for a while and have returned many times since.
It is almost bang in the centre of China, was the Tang dynasty's capital and was the starting point of the Silk Road. As a result, it has absorbed and developed its cuisine from all over China and beyond. Also, it has a large Muslim population which has hugely influenced the cuisine.
Luckily, I have an excellent Xi'an retaurant near my home owned and staffed by Xi'an natives.
* That is Hunan - especially west Hunan.
