Xia Nan Guan Jia Market

This street is renowned for its concentration of Hui ethnic cuisine from Qinghai, and the back entrance of the Grand Mosque is located along this road. Signature local delicacies include “Bian Dan” Liangpi—a cold noodle dish with nearly a century of heritage—Xinjiang-style baked naan, southern-style zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) glazed with Xining’s sweet syrup, golden-fried potato chips, and Qinghai’s traditionally fermented sweet fermented barley (Tian Pei). The neighborhood has cultivated a distinctive “Guan Xiang Yan Huo” (literally “Lanterns and Smoke of the Outer Quarters”) cultural atmosphere, blending street-vendor culture, market-day traditions, and ethnic heritage.
