I started my day by
visiting the Mosque (请镇寺) in the Muslim
Quarter. Mesmerized by the peaceful surrounding of the mosque,
I spent half a day there. I was fascinated with the Chinese
architectural style of the mosque, the beautiful garden and pagoda.
The mosque compound is big. I wrote many postcards to friends
in the calm surrounding of its courtyard. The Hui community
who came for the afternoon prayers are very friendly too.
After visit to the mosque, I went to try out the lamian beef noodle
sold at the streetside near to the mosque.
Xi'an has two big towers in its town centre which are located about
200m from one another. They are the Drum Tower (Gu Lou -
鼓楼) and Bell Tower (Zhong Lou - 钟楼).
Located within a stone-throw-away from the Muslim Quarter.
