It is said that the Islamic territory is a 20-minute walk from the Tibetan temples of Dazhao Temple and Xilituzhao Temple. The buildings are very beautiful and the place is not big, so it is worth a visit.
The environment is good and the price/performance ratio is acceptable. I recommend you to go and have a look.
The buildings are quite distinctive, but not numerous, so it is suitable for people with relevant beliefs.
This is the first time I have seen a place with such a strong Hui ethnic customs.
Islamic Style Street is the main road that runs through Hohhot, with a total length of about one kilometer. This is the Hui Muslim settlement area, and the architecture is very Islamic, with many pointed dome buildings, and the colors are mainly white, yellow and green. There are also several mosques.
It feels quite ordinary. It is right next to the Muslim area. There is an Islamic crescent decoration on the Chinese-style building, which is quite eye-catching.
There are round temple roofs and towering columnar towers everywhere, as well as Chinese and Mongolian languages, giving it a unique exotic feel.
After feeling the atmosphere of Tibetan Buddhism, we headed north and found an Islamic street less than a street away. The buildings here have distinct Islamic characteristics, especially the Aiboyi Palace, which looks like a mosque but was later found to be a shopping mall. There is also a mosque not far away, with a plaque outside that reads "Peace and Prosperity" and "People's Peace". We did not go in to visit it for fear of disturbing the devout believers.
There are several food streets behind the Islamic Street, with many delicacies, especially Shaomai and mutton offal, which are near Kuanxiangzi and Islamic Street. Most Shaomai are 16 yuan per liang, and mutton offal are 17 yuan per portion. In Hohhot, "one liang" means that the dough is one liang, which is a large portion. Generally, one liang means eight mutton. The taste is very good, and the mutton is not smelly at all. The mutton offal is a pure bowl of offal without side dishes, which is very affordable.
A short street, suitable for taking some night photos, with many halal snacks around~
Located in Huimin District, Hohhot City, the total area of the district is 175 square kilometers, of which the urban area is 19.47 square kilometers.
The beautiful buildings are also a beautiful scenery in Hohhot. When night falls, they are particularly dazzling under the lights.
It turns out that the Islamic style street refers to the Islamic buildings seen at this intersection. I was wondering why I was deviating from the route in all four directions. I spent an hour wandering around and came up with this conclusion. I don’t know if it’s right. It’s really beautiful at night. I recommend everyone to come to this place at night. It’s beautiful, lively, unique and has delicious food.
In the Hui Muslim District, the streetscape buildings are dominated by desert yellow, with white and green, which best highlight the characteristics of Muslims, as embellishments. There are unified terraced buildings, along the way, there is the North Mosque, the Hui Muslim Middle School, and the Grand Mosque. Not far away, you can see a Tibetan Buddhist temple and a mosque separated by only a wall, so you can feel this culturally mixed city.
The Islamic Style Street is located on Tongdao South Street in the Huimin District. The famous Hohhot Grand Mosque is nearby. It is also not far from the Dazhao Temple and Xiaozhao Temple. You can walk there. There is a large dining area near the Dazhao Temple and Xiaozhao Temple, which is convenient for you to taste the local specialties. If you come to Hohhot, it is recommended to stay near here. You can also go to the Grand Mosque Square to cool off at night.
Islamic style street, with Islamic style buildings on both sides of the street, which are lit up at night.
It's a very exotic street, you can take some time to walk around and experience it.
A very beautiful street, very rich in ethnic characteristics
The Islamic Style Street is officially called the Islamic Architecture Landscape Street. It is located in Huimin Street, Hohhot, and is 1,500 meters long. Hui people live here, and Muslim business is prosperous. Due to the accumulation of Islamic culture for thousands of years, a strong Islamic atmosphere has been formed here. The Style Street is located in the city center, with convenient transportation and easy access to various attractions in the city.
There is some scenery at the Grand Mosque after turning on the lights at night.
The night view is nice and the Grand Mosque is free...
It's just average, I thought it was original, all built by the government. A large area of storefronts around it are also antique-style, not beautiful, and have no special features.
2017.8.7 My family went to Hohhot for a trip. We strolled along the street and passed by here. The scenery was nice and unique.
The landmark buildings of the Islamic Style Street should be the Aiboy Palace and the "Heart Lamp". Aladdin's magic lamp symbolizes harmony, beauty and happiness.
It is a street with a square on the side and a mosque next to it, but it was closed and under repair so I didn't go in. It was nice to take pictures in the square. Everyone was taking pictures there. There was a square with Aladdin's pot in the middle.
It was the first time I saw such an exotic night view street (in fact, I haven't been to many exotic places except Xinjiang, but the night view in Xinjiang is not large and not connected). The main reason is that the big mosques here are used for commercial purposes. There are not many real mosques and churches for worship. But it's nice to see.
It's an old street, nothing much to see, but there's a fried skewers shop in the back street called Xiaoyan Fried Skewers, they're delicious, nothing else.
Overall it's OK. I didn't visit for a long time. The building is quite unique.
It has strong local characteristics, a strong Islamic style and exquisite architecture.
It's quite ordinary, just a street with Islamic-style buildings.
The commercial center of Qingcheng, where the Hui people live
A street with very strong ethnic characteristics in Hohhot.
The Islamic style street is just at the north gate of the old city. You will know it when you see the Islamic style buildings. Don't trust Baidu Maps. Baidu Maps made us walk around in vain. There are many small shops selling specialties on the roadside of Islamic style street. I strongly recommend dried fruits. I want to drink a second cup after drinking one. You can buy moon cakes and pancakes together to taste them.
If the Islamic Style Street refers to Tongdao South Road, then I have been there.
The exterior is good enough, the inside is too messy, and there are a lot of small vendors, there is nothing to buy or visit.
It was just a street inhabited by Hui people. Even someone as enthusiastic as me couldn't walk on it. I ate a bowl of ramen by the way, but it wasn't as delicious as the one in our school restaurant.
The Islamic Style Street is just opposite the Grand Mosque, and it is a long street. There are characteristic Islamic style buildings with pointed roofs all around, but unlike what I imagined, there are no characteristic shops, mostly hardware stores. This is very different from other places. Shouldn't there be some characteristic clothing, handicrafts and other shops in such a tourist-intensive place? On the last day in Hohhot, the sky cleared up after being cloudy for several days. Although the night view is also beautiful, the Islamic Style Street is better to see the buildings under the sun.
The Islamic Street is located on the west side of Hohhot City, on the north side of the Dazhao Temple, and almost covers the entire Tongdao South Road. The Islamic Street is yellow in color, and it looks magnificent from a distance. On both sides of the entire Tongdao South Road, no matter what commercial buildings there are, they are all in Islamic style, as if you have walked into a pure Islamic area. On the Islamic Street, there is a mosque, but it is in the traditional Chinese architectural style. There is also an Islamic square next to it, with a statue of Aladdin's magic lamp. Although the whole street is in Islamic style, most pedestrians are still dressed as Han people. The Islamic Street is very crowded, there is a lot of traffic jams, and there are many bus routes.
The Islamic style street is very beautiful under the lights at night and is worth a visit. I searched twice before I found it, and the lighting was a little lacking.
The so-called Fengqing Street is actually a roadside building of several hundred meters in the Huimin District. It was originally a hardware street in Hohhot. The shops on both sides were all selling hardware and electrical appliances. The tops of the buildings were all large domes unique to Islamic architecture, shining with gold. The Grand Mosque is inside it, next to the Aiboyi Hehe Palace. It is very ordinary. The buildings were also built later and have no historical heritage.
Personally, I feel that the so-called Islamic style street refers to Tongdao South Road. The buildings on both sides here are very Islamic in style. It is indeed a Muslim gathering area. There are many halal restaurants and most of the businesses are run by Muslims. Many people wear Muslim white hats. It is a place with exotic characteristics. The transportation here is very convenient. Tongdao South Road itself is a section of G209. There are countless hotels. We stayed at the nearby Baogeli Hotel. It is very lively here during the day, but it is relatively deserted at night. Maybe it is the custom of Muslan. We drove past it at nearly 9 o'clock in the evening, and almost all the shops were closed.
I highly recommend Ma Zhanguang beef jerky! ! ! ! The boss's daughter is very pretty! ...
Actually, there is nothing much on that street. It is mainly Islamic buildings. There are only some shops selling specialties next to the Grand Mosque. It will be more lively if you walk south to the Antique City.
The ethnic and religious atmosphere is strong, and it's nice to walk along the road and look at the buildings.
The Islamic style street is Tongdao South Street, and the buildings on both sides of this street are all in Islamic style.
The shops on the Islamic Street were lined up side by side, selling all kinds of local delicacies. I was dazzled by the sight. However, I wasn't very hungry, and I had to go to dinner soon, so I didn't buy anything to try. Fortunately, I took a few photos in my hurried steps. Although I didn't eat it, it was good to see it.
I always thought that the Islamic Style Street was located in the street through the antique building on the side of the square, so I always felt that I had not visited the real Islamic Style Street. After returning, I checked online and found that the South Street with so many shops is the Islamic Style Street. This street is not an old street, but was invested and built in 2006.
It has a unique style, very ethnic characteristics, the color is very appropriate, and it is a very beautiful footsteps.
The Islamic architectural landscape street is 1,150 meters long and is located on Tongdao South Road in the Huimin District. It was completed in 2006 and is an important transportation artery that runs through the north and south of the capital. Hui people live here, and Islamic-style buildings are concentrated here, creating a strong Islamic atmosphere.
The Islamic Street looks impressive from a distance, but when you get closer, you will find that it is not the crowded pedestrian street we imagined. Most of the shops on both sides of the street sell hardware or plumbing tools, not products with ethnic characteristics, so it lacks the unique noise of a commercial street. The road is not very wide, but cars can pass quickly without any pressure.
The Islamic Style Street is located in the Huimin District of Hohhot City. It is 1,150 meters long. On both sides of the street, there are magnificent high-rise buildings decorated with stacked arches, domes, and colored glazed bricks. There are rows of pointed arched doors and windows, thick and full green or yellow spherical temple roofs, and towering columnar towers. The main color is desert yellow with alternating green and white tones, which make people appreciate the rich Islamic style.
There were some local specialties like milk tea and beef jerky. These cakes looked quite appetizing, but I don’t know how they tasted. I don’t like them, so I didn’t buy any.
It is a street to the north of Dazhao Temple. The hotels, restaurants and shopping malls on both sides are all Islamic buildings. There is a square in front of Aiboyihe Palace at the intersection where you can take photos.
I don’t know if it’s because the buildings in Inner Mongolia are too boring, so a few European-style buildings piled together have become an “Islamic style street”.
The first stop is of course the Islamic Street! Looking around, the entire street is filled with Islamic-style buildings, which slowly blur at the end of the street.
It makes people feel like they are in the world of Hui people and Islam! This is our first time traveling through time. We don’t feel like we have come to Inner Mongolia, but have traveled to Xinjiang.
Just outside the Grand Mosque is the Islamic Street, where the buildings have a strong Islamic style. . . . .
It's a good place to take photos. It's an Islamic-style building, very close to the Grand Mosque. There's nothing around it except for taking photos.
Islamic Style Street, where Islamic-style buildings are concentrated and Muslim businesses are prosperous, has a strong Islamic atmosphere.
It is very beautiful at night, and there are many delicious foods. You can eat as much as you want there, barbecue, braised beef, and bone soup are all good choices.
I prefer the Islamic style street. Those buildings with Arabic charm remind me of ancient Persia. However, the beautiful mosque-style buildings are not real temples, but a shell. Inside are of course various shopping malls and restaurants. Even the Yiwu small commodity market has become Islamic style. After walking around, I finally saw the authentic Grand Mosque. It is a Chinese-style glazed pavilion with Islamic content. It is a real temple. There is a hybrid beauty in form, a different solemnity, and a unique ethnic style. Thinking of the various groups of people here in ancient times, the Huns, Tatars, Jurchens, and Hu people...
In 2006, the newly built Islamic style street was renovated on the basis of Tongdao South Street. It is very beautiful, especially the night view, but it is a bit in disrepair. Surrounded by Hui Muslim communities, there are ethnic food streets such as Niujie and Kuanxiangzi.
It is worth a visit. The Russian-style architecture adds a lot of color to this place. The most fortunate thing is that I encountered an ancient church here.
The so-called Islamic style street is actually a street with Islamic architecture as its style where Hui people gather. Most of the shops on the street are wholesale markets or something like that. Each building is still very beautiful, but it is hard to imagine that so many people regard this as a scenic spot. However, as a part of the city, it is still very important.
This street is the essence of the green and white desert Islamic style. In just 1.1 kilometers, the beauty of religious and folk architecture is fully displayed with stacked arches, spherical roofs, and columnar towers.
The Islamic Street is lined with magnificent buildings decorated with overlapping arches, domes and colored glazed bricks, rows of pointed arched doors and windows, rich green or yellow spherical temple roofs, and towering columnar towers. The desert yellow is the main color with green and white alternating tones, which makes people appreciate the rich Islamic style. Hui people live here, Islamic-style buildings are concentrated, and Muslim business is prosperous.
The Islamic Street is similar to the Muslim Street in Xi'an, but it is far less friendly and less lively than the Muslim Street. The various buildings are quite ethnic.
Walking along the Islamic style street, it is indeed full of exotic atmosphere, haha, but you have to ignore those Chinese characters.
The Islamic style street has a very good urban atmosphere. Especially the mosque and Islamic style city, I feel like I am in a Middle Eastern country.
After visiting the temple, we returned to the intersection of Zhongshan West Road, where there is an Islamic-style building. The huge Aladdin lamp outside is very beautiful. When night falls, the whole building is brightly lit, just like a palace in One Thousand and One Nights.
It is located at the intersection of Silan Folk Culture Street and Mongolian Yuan Culture Street, with a very good geographical location.
The smell is quite strong and the room is small, but very clean
Islam Street
The buildings on the roadside are obviously different. There are no ethnic shops at all. There is no need to go shopping too much. It is recommended to just sit in the car and take a quick look.
The most beautiful building on the Islamic Street is this white palace. I originally thought it was a mosque, but when I walked in I found out it was just a jewelry city.
Islamic Street
The rows of pointed arched doors and windows, the thick and rich green or yellow spherical roof, the towering columnar towers, and the mainly desert yellow with green and white tones give people a sense of the rich Islamic style.
The magnificent buildings on both sides of the Islamic Style Street are staggered, with rich green or yellow spherical roofs shining in the sun. The many towering columnar towers, mainly in desert yellow with green and white tones, give me a beautiful artistic experience with the refreshing Islamic style.
The high-rise buildings decorated with stacked arches, domes, and colored glazed bricks on both sides of the Islamic Style Street are magnificent, with rows of pointed arched doors and windows, thick and full green or yellow spherical temple roofs, and towering columnar towers. The desert yellow as the main color and the green and white tones make people appreciate the rich Islamic style.
I saw little Italian girls having fun here. It was really interesting. Happy children. The national costumes were also very special. After all, we rarely see them.
The Islamic style street near the Grand Mosque Square is worth a visit after visiting the Grand Mosque. The buildings are quite distinctive.
It has a strong Islamic style, and the architecture and statues are very good;
I didn’t visit many scenic spots in downtown Hohhot. I just went to the Grand Mosque and the Islamic Street, which was a little different from what I had imagined.
This is a food street that is dedicated to halal food. The more distinctive restaurants in Hohhot are concentrated in Niujie.
The architecture here is quite unique, and it is a commercial street with a strong Islamic style. It would be even better if there were a few blonde beauties.
It feels a bit like a miniature Moscow, which is definitely interesting for those who are not familiar with Islamic culture. I think my Minions make the scenery here more interesting, hahahaha
