A Foodie’s Delight: Lamb Skewers on Xia Nan Guan Street, Xining

Xining’s Xia Nan Guan Street is a hidden gem for food lovers, and my recent visit was a feast for the senses. As I strolled down the bustling street, the aroma of sizzling meat filled the air, drawing me to a tiny stall where a vendor expertly grilled succulent lamb skewers over hot coals.

The first bite was pure magic—tender, juicy lamb infused with a smoky char and coated in a perfect blend of cumin, chili, and salt. The slight crispiness on the outside gave way to melt-in-your-mouth goodness inside. Paired with freshly baked naan-style bread and a cup of Xining’s famous milk tea, it was an unforgettable street food experience.

What makes these skewers special is the high-quality Qinghai lamb, known for its rich flavor and tenderness. Each skewer is grilled to perfection, ensuring that every bite bursts with a delicious umami kick.

If you ever find yourself in Xining, Xia Nan Guan Street is a must-visit for foodies. Trust me, one skewer won’t be enough—you’ll keep going back for more!
