What to eat when visiting Beijing ( Uyghur Food)
While in Beijing, be sure not to miss out on Uyghur food. The Uyghur are a Muslim minority that live in Xinjiang , a province in the north west of China. Beijing offers a great variety of different local foods, and Uyghur food is one of my favorites. The Uyghur cuisine uses ingredients that are not commonly found in Chinese dishes, such as cumin, lamb meat, and lots of tomatoes. If you’re just looking for a snack, I can really recommend getting nan bread and chuanr (skewers, usually made with lamb meat).
