Guida COMPLETA nella Capitale dei Carboidrati XI’AN!!🇨🇳 Non SOLO Esercito di Terracotta..

oh what’s there Nicola Jiang welcome to Shaanxi you heard right the X in Chinese is read Sh so it is neither Sian nor Csian but Xi An the exact name of the capital of the Shaanxi region in north-west China which at the time was called Chang An and this is a historically very important city not only for its very famous terracotta army but because it was the capital of 13 Chinese dynasties it was the first center of the unified Chinese empire and was the starting point of the Silk Road today even if it is no longer the capital of China Shian is considered the carbohydrate capital of Chinese cuisine here in addition to the more well-known Ramu and Pian Pian Mien you can find a huge variety of dishes made mainly of bread and pasta so keep comfortable and enjoy the show and these days in Sian I booked a hotel that costs only €21 per night with breakfast included I can’t believe it it’s really big and right at the entrance there is a sink we have free water the beautiful tea glasses and the infused tea not to mention this traditional Chinese tea set no okay an origami the bed is soft to the right point and then oh Audrey Hebburn and now let’s see what the bathrooms are like here there are two doors there is the shower room and the toilet room here there are also slippers these no I don’t trust them even if it says disinfected but here there are disposable slippers eh they should be clean I smell and who cares anyway I have socks €21 a night with breakfast included then I’ll show you breakfast tomorrow morning now we go out here at the entrance of the hotel there is also the Terracotta army that welcomes us now I’ll take you to one of the most important attractions of Shian apart from the Terracotta army that I will take you to in these other days look here Nicola’s pizzeria I had never told you eh I didn’t know it either anyway it’s really hot here I regret not having brought shorts too and doing some research I discovered that this city here is one of the hottest cities in summer in China so an oven an open-air oven in reality we are already arrived eh I mean it’s very close to the hotel where I’m living it would be this one here the entrance you see it’s up there but you’ve seen how it is there’s not a minimum of shade and therefore with the sun I avoid it I mean I’ll wait until later come on I don’t even have sun cream with me this city anyway is incredible to cross the streets you always have to go down the underpass and then go back up on the other side even with the bikes you don’t have to go around look how beautiful this road is now we’re walking towards a cafe that’s at the end of this road what are they flutes I thought they were eggs eh here you can make some comprouvenirs you see the writings the fans look how cute these magnets back in the Tang dynasty they were a little more fleshy you see how cute but then these people here make stuffed toys in the shape of a rum which would be the street food symbol of Shean which is also one of my favorite Chinese street foods and the cafe tells me that it’s inside this place here look at the Buddhas carved on this wood anyway here the calligraphy really goes a lot there are lots of shops that sell calligraphy videograms fans with calligraphy and here we are coffee shop it’s called One Fang Coffee and right at the entrance we even have a terracotta soldier with a fan who welcomes us hello but why do you have such fingers you’re shy I’m shy too let’s go in come on wow so many people let’s see first what it’s like upstairs oh what Ah the seats are nice oh there are seats I thought it would be packed instead come on it’s almost full and this is from above and while we wait for the coffee you see the writing above the roof it says Chan which was the ancient name of Shan that’s why you’ll find this Changan very often these two here around the city and we had a cold American coffee and a latte and up here as you can see the word Chang is printed which would be no exactly as I was telling you before the ancient name of Sian when it was the capital of China then look at this glass it’s beautiful with the writing “Fu!” it looks like a bottle to keep things fermented rice wine then here we also had a fresh passion fruit juice and since it’s hot I also brought some fans look how cute come on now let’s rest for a moment in the cool shade and wait for the sun to go away a little and I’ll take you to the city walls coffee break we had it and it’s 5:30 and you see the sun is not so hot anymore so we climb up the wall finally this time but not the great wall of Beijing but the wall of Shian which is also very very famous and here we are in Chang Chan which literally in Italian means city wall or rather a wall that protected the ancient city of Shan and if you visit this place I recommend you enter from the south gate which is called Yon Ningmer the ticket here costs 54 which is about €6.80 the enemies no to be able to enter attack the city they had to first pass this moat that surrounds the whole wall which is 8 m deep and this bridge could be built to stop the enemies from passing and instead if they passed look let’s be enemies come on let’s be enemies let’s go in eh no it’s not over here the enemy doesn’t you can pass and enter easily because look here you see those windows of this tower here from those windows the arrows came the second step was not so easy and here like in every tourist place in China there is the security check and the enemy enters think come on we made it we dodged all the arrows and instead no look there is another giant tower with 48 windows just as many for the arrows and therefore you had to pass many milestones here literally stiff eh oh why do they take photos here me too me too come on you see there is the drum tower basically if you walk along all these walls which are 13.7 km 4 hours of walking you can see all around you will see the whole center of Shan from above but not even very high eh because we are 12 m high it is not that high more or less like Lucca no however the walls of Lucca will be about 4-5 km long but this one here is 13.7 km the positive thing however is that it is not like the wall the great wall of China which all steps down all steps no here it is all flat it is flat they are straight walls and if you want there is also a bike you can rent a bike and you can do a bike ride around the city of Sian in this way it takes you half the time from four it becomes 2 hours there are also bikes for two people so you pedal a single bike well come on a nice walk it is a lot to make me even hungrier so after we will go and eat a lot of stuff because I can’t wait just hearing the name Sian my mouth goes cold because it is full of food here like the camo the piam oh a lot of stuff look what we saw the cafe from before we were there before eh even there there there they are all cafes with a terrace overlooking the walls and it is also cheap I didn’t think eh really the costs of Shian here no I didn’t believe they were so low this cafe here is very close no come on I had to come here even with a jump I’ll get there look after having done the walk on these walls are you tired are you thirsty do you want a coffee Nicola you are crazy but what ideas come to mind and the first typical food ever we will eat it in this place here which makes Pomo one of the most appreciated dishes by the local agent pomo literally in Italian means to dip the bread pau means to dip and mo is the bread and this is a traditional Chinese Muslim dish typical of Xan which consists of first doing this thing here yourself that is to break off little pieces of bread and put it in the bowl do not make them too thick eh I recommend otherwise later they get angry and here in practice I make the cooks who are behind my back do one less job the more you break off the pieces the more you get pissed off already that you have this burning forearm and the more you get hungry i mean oh there is an absurd reputation no help me I don’t know about anything okay they will go drink I hope now we take them to the kitchen a legend says that the emperor founder of the Song dynasty before becoming such lived in poverty doing the vagrant in the streets of Changan aka de Shian one day in his pocket he only had two pieces of this dry bread left so hard that he just couldn’t eat eat them then he saw a butcher’s shop boiling mutton broth along the road and asked the owner for a bowl of broth to soak the bread in and soften it and from there this dish was born and look how they became you we took two versions the classic one with the broth which is called yan Row Pomo and this one here is called R Pomo and in total we spent 54 yen which is about €6.60 and here it is served with garlic look let’s start with the classic comic eh to see the bread in little pieces basically it makes pasta which reminds me a lot of the pita bread which is also found in Turkey look here the meat that is, it crumbles enjoy your meal there is this lamb that melts in your mouth delicious there are these little pieces of bread that have absorbed all the flavor of the broth it is amazing you can taste the lamb here the lamb is more noticeable because the broth is lamb broth and therefore it is even more lamby than the meat that in the end the meat has spread all the flavor into the broth no and then inside we also find some soy spaghetti it is very creamy tasty rich in flavors it is salty just right and then as you can see they didn’t give us spoons there is only available eh the chopstick is eaten like this I mean Ah totta let’s see combined with this garlic how it is it is delicious you have to remove the skin outside this here is not simple garlic it is pickled garlic it is sweet sour a wonderful thing I would eat 10 kg often you get nausea when you eat too much meat too fat too many oily things if not if they give you this garlic which is sour sweet it takes away all the nausea and you can continue to eat those things there eating eating it becomes like this eh I mean the broth is no longer there it is all absorbed in this bread the portion is really huge I am very hungry now let’s move on to the New Ral Pom it is drier as you can see it does not have so much broth and this is made with beef because I did not want to repeat the same type of meat mmm it is boiling a little sour a pisico of spicy look this too is very very tasty the bread is the same but it is a completely different thing I mean it is as if it were another dish look here chunks of beef they are gigantic and they are like blocks soy spaghetti wow everything has its own flavor but this one here has a more Italian touch the tomato gives that extra touch of tomato that reminds me a bit of Italy look guys the first food filled me up a lot I didn’t think they were so big the portions scared me now in these days how will I make a portion that is enough for a whole day for this here I definitely won’t do the challenge of what I eat in 24 hours because it is impossible at least what I eat in 24 days a dish a day and now we are in an area full of food look here the people eating the skewers there are the little shops of clothing covers the markets are there go the beautiful hair oh original Nike now let’s go to the hotel walking because oh we have to work off all that pauo come on we can work it off damn we have to walk 4 km no I’m joking after if I can’t do it anymore I’ll take either the bike or the metro the metro from here is two stops by bike instead it takes me 20 minutes and enough walking 40 minutes arrived at the hotel I will go to sleep right away because tomorrow I have to wake up very early to have breakfast no so let’s see together what this breakfast is like in a hotel that costs only €21 a night I’m curious a lot I’ll tell you that I don’t have great expectations anyway in the end as you can see I opted for the metro goodnight good morning everyone we woke up though also because breakfast starts from 7:30 until 9:30 so quite early and nothing let’s go and eat ah let’s look in the meantime first what the weather is like today come on beautiful weather even today I didn’t think that here in Sian it would be so hot compared to Picchino which is around 30° I mean it’s basically summer anyway for a hotel that costs only €21 a night with breakfast included it ‘s a lot even if breakfast wasn’t included it would be a lot anyway damn €21 where do you find it I mean in China yes it is but san I mean a tourist destination a very famous city all over the world there should be breakfast yes no I understand Hi already hello oh there’s a lot of stuff eh there’s fruit milk soy milk American coffee yogurt juices passion fruit orange juice salad there are also chefs fried balls toast corn porridge Chinese bread here are some sautéed vegetables ready-made things this is all oli canit eh ah they’re ravioli dates peanuts this lady took like 10,000 eggs here is sautéed rice sautéed spaghetti this what is empty sautéed ah all the chefs there what do they do because here in China before starting work all the employees gather and then there’s the manager in front who says what to do how to behave at work what our goal is and a series of rules and this applies to almost all jobs look guys I didn’t believe I didn’t imagine such a rich breakfast so full of stuff here we took some vegetables a little face a grilled ravioli and a hard boiled egg it’s all down a coffee milk instant coffee oh this morning I woke up with a toothache not a toothache my flesh is swollen my gums here everything I eat hurts it’s like it’s always touching my wound wow I’ll even make Oneon and some noodles right now look the last time I was in a hotel with such a low price I didn’t have all this stuff they didn’t make dishes for you right now I’ll take you to eat a dish that surely many of you will have heard of Bian Bi Noodles we will eat it inside a residential neighborhood look where I’m taking you it’s in these places that you can find authentic foods really good but what kind of place there aren’t any look it sells yogurt and then it plays the Doraimon music but why does it play the Dora music then after there’s the voice of a man who says Sunday yes we are in a residential area I thought it was hidden instead look here it’s really full of people but yes it’s a truly authentic place and they are famous for these noodles which are called Biang Biang noodles and this is also one of the most famous dishes of Shian famous not only for its name very particular and impossible to write but also for its unique flavor that distinguishes it from all the other noodles here is the very famous Piang Biang mien it is served in this steel container first of all we have to mix it because otherwise everything sticks together and then you eat a focaccia not the noodles luckily I’m with the black t-shirt eh certainly when I eat these things here like even the OT spot I have the white t-shirt and it’s very easy to splash on yourself look how thick they are I go with the first bite eh enjoy your meal guys they are extraordinary magnificent pian pian pian oh directly to the can there are the noodles which are nice and wide a little rubbery chewy it absorbs all the flavor of the condiments which here is seasoned with beef spring onion vegetables celery then there is also the egg you can really feel the flavor of the tomato and the chili pepper because at the end as a final touch boiling oil is slapped on top of the chili pepper to release more of that chili pepper scent and Biang is the most difficult Chinese idogram to write I don’t know how many Chinese people know how to write it in my opinion no one and on the computer keyboard you can’t even type it I don’t know if they invented it later or maybe the computer crashes they put this and ogram but yes if you want to write Biang it doesn’t find it and Biang what does bi mean basically it’s the noise this one here when they prepare these noodles they bang on the table and it makes that white noise and that’s where this name Biang noodles comes from however it’s also called kut which means belt noodles because they’re as thick as a belt look and therefore here in Xan you can find these two names and the price of this big bowl is 16 unen which is €2 so with €2 you can feed five people so this is a single portion you understand not even a double m We’ve done it now let’s burn off a bit and I’ll take you to the next place where this guy is and voilà look eh I’m back in the past now with these clothes we’re going to places from that time today in the evening it’s really hot look how sunny it is it’s really hot it’s about 30° but it’s nice eh in the shade it’s fine under the sun which is a bit scorching I know I’m here here but here we are missing something 你要還是花茶?要哪個顏色?把手黑色,藍色 紅色的吧 紅色 Yes yes here is what was missing do you like our E-shaped water bottle for this we paid 20 yen which is about €2.50 and inside there is also some tea there is the tea called Fusa let’s see what this Fusa is like which is a typical tea from the whole region eh of Sensi now I’ll take you to eat some of the most famous dishes of Xan and we will eat it in the local one there with you see the photo of the boy and the thing that makes me laugh is that we are right next to a restaurant where they do Wenzo’s cuisine I mean they are everywhere the benzos 一個面皮,一個米皮,然後一個肉膜,一個肉膜,普通的還是的普通的一個風來一瓶吧 28 in total for all this stuff we only spent 28 which is about €3.50 we have this drink which is a typical drink from Siam it is called Pinga it is a type of Fanta we took a Rog which is this focaccia with pork inside enjoy your meal there is bread which on the outside is a little crunchy it is wet because it was also wet by the pork the meat is a sad between fat and lean there is that consistency better more juicy and not only lean meat which could remain a little too dry but if you want it there is also the lean meat version is paired with Ruciamo there must always be the Liampi which means cold skin and there are many types we took an MMP and a MIPI let’s start with the MIPI which is the one made with rice flour enjoy your meal wow they seem simple but they are very tasty there is the red gold which is spicy a little salty there are the soy sprouts and then there are these noodles which are gelatinous a little rubbery cold on a hot day like this there is a bang that is very refreshing but the oil inside wow and now let’s move on to the Memp which is made with wheat flour and here inside we find in addition to the same ingredients as before the spicy oil the soy sprouts we also find some Seitan and this amenti how is it made it is made with the dough made with wheat flour they wash it in water and then in the water the wheat starch is squeezed which then solidifies they cut them forming real spaghetti there is a unique consistency and after washing the dough what do they do with that dough there becomes seitan they use it as a condiment so they use it all it’s not that they throw it away simple and good then dressed like this they are even better I did well to take this fusa because this tea helps digestion and after everything we have already done now it was a bang wow I’m so full but how hot oh now I’m going back to the hotel I’ll change come on and then oh I have this hat that makes me sweat like a pig well if you have some time and you have nothing else to do I recommend you go to Qui Fusia which is a little street where it’s full to the brim with cute cafes here there’s even a group of aunts who give massages to 20 in front of this cafe poor things here where tradition modernity meets ah no here they are not just cafes in the evening it certainly gets even more lively because the bars open where you can drink beer cocktails etc where you can spend the evening also look at Napoli pizzeria look at him how cute and there’s plenty to choose from I want one with air conditioning because it’s really hot come on this one it inspires me beautiful big if it’s the terrace and it’s called Times Coffee but it’s beautiful and vintage look at the bar it looks like an Italian bar let’s go up to the upper floor let’s see a bit wow you can also sleep there you can sleep ser look at the terrace how beautiful I’m very happy and here we can see from above this street there’s another floor there are three floors wow but here there’s a bee no no I’m going away I have a phobia of bees but not because of the bees but because of a wasp once I was riding my bike with a vest and in the middle of the road while I was pedaling I felt something that was stinging me all over after I looked and it was a big wasp so I stopped pedaling I took off my clothes and from there I have this phobia of wasps all the little animals that look like them no like the bee this one costs €4 it’s not much eh look what place can we stay until closing €4 for a small glass of water with coffee is not much in the end the American coffee made me hungry so now I’ll take you to another area that we can do by bike in 10 minutes to eat another typical dish dian right right go yes but look what we found here first eat this come on here cola there is 塊三塊錢個拿一個吧,謝謝 好嘞,謝謝那什麼醬啊 here you are theac here in Sian you find it every corner on the street they sell them in these little stands with these colorful cakes and this is a cake made with golden glaze oh it’s about to fall let’s take a bite go it’s soft a little chewy and it smells so much of osmatooroso and it’s very sweet because the salassina that was unmolded on top is Osmando Doroso syrup and this is a cake made with rice glutinous no nothing special but a quick snack like this is also fine because the cost is really a joke 3en is like 30 centim euros we haven’t even arrived eh look at this alley full of food and here as you can see there are so many aal places and what we’re going to eat now eh is an alal dish eam found we took a portion we paid look there was this bowl and as you may have guessed here in Sian it’s usual to do this thing here that is to separate the pieces of bread before cooking them so let’s start this time I’ll make them a little bigger because I like it better here done ok to start let’s cut the black hard boiled egg in half and the white hard boiled egg then cut this block of gelatin made with mung bean starch into Julienne shape noodles and place everything on the bread that we separated before then we pour in this broth prepared with eggs and about ten spices continue with a little salt of the pure garlic of the mustard a little vinegar a drop of sesame sauce of spicy chili oil and look what a work of art it came out it looks like a painting and final touch a little sesame oil ah guys how full it is and here it is ready our Lugo Lianfon and we spent a total of 17 which is about €2 it is a very famous dish here in China and they are transparent noodles made with green mung bean starch as you will have seen they slapped a lot of sauces on them then we have a hard boiled egg and a hundred year old egg and before serving it to me he told me “Do not mix it you have to eat it as it is” and Let’s try the hard boiled egg first enjoy your meal it has the yolk that is a little a little raw so very creamy let’s continue with the hundred year old egg it is a strange combination it has nothing to do with putting two whole eggs inside a plate and the egg is central it is not eaten alone on its own it is certainly not that good you have to combine it with sauces with condiments understood but a little bit of gas very very creamy there is the mustard that is together with the chili pepper that gives that spicy it seems to have eaten wasabi but it is a wasabi with a different spiciness because the wasabi goes up to the nose up to the head but the chili pepper is the mouth now let’s move on to the lampf look it is very gelatinous it seems like a very fragile gelatine because it comes off immediately mm you don’t even have to bite if it melts in your mouth that’s why he told me not to mix everything because there is this fun that crumbles immediately I thought it had a slightly more rubbery more elastic consistency and instead it literally melts in your mouth m let’s try the bread no well here the bread is perfect that is it absorbs all the flavor of this broth that I put at the beginning and all the spices and after eating this area filled up with people eh there is a street full of eh places where they do barbecue where they do Chinese arosticini look look at how many people there are a lot of people queuing what a mess then it is not a street forgive them eh they pass by even the scooters so after the Humfen if you are still hungry you can eat the Chinese arosticini here here walking we found a tauist temple here you pray to the god of money the god of prosperity and in front look what’s there it’s perfect that is there you pray for prosperity and in front there is directly a shop where they sell you lotteries what stories well Sian is not only famous because it was an ancient capital of China or for its terracotta army but it is also famous for being the starting point of the Silk Road of the Ancient Silk Road in practice it connected China with Central Asia the Middle East up to Europe and there were many exchanges of all kinds of cultural religions no asian the culture of Islam arrived so here there are many Muslims there is the Muslim ethnic minority that is here we arrived right in this area that is called here ming which means ethnic street here and here you will find all the halal foods 哇,我是中國人說話方言語言的是 Italian Cera who was curious what language I spoke I said it was a dialect a dialect that is called Italian dialect no anyway there is this street that is full of food and among these streets is also hidden the most beautiful mosque big of Shian a very very old mosque now I’ll show you we arrived I asked the girl behind there she told me that it is a little further on the main door would be all this is the niampio mosque we spent 50 yen 25 i a person costs about €4 how beautiful the typical hats are and we keep them on the Chinese hand but I don’t know if it’s okay if I wear it even if I’m not a believer I don’t know if it’s something offensive well okay I’ll buy it come on this guy it’s the biggest mosque in Sean but what a beautiful little garden and think that this mosque is more than 1300 years old look here there are even pieces of the Koran I suppose everything is in Arabic there is Arabic and here there is the Chinese translation which is now all faded and here you enter for the actual mosque but it is not possible to enter for tourists they only open for those who don’t care look at this room I mean I feel like I’ve been catapulted into the past have you ever seen a mosque like this in Chinese style but then what is more than 1300 years it’s not that it’s a new thing then look here that everything is falling to pieces this is all part of history fantastic look guys Obama’s t-shirt and also Trump and as you will have seen also all the foods we ate in fact almost all the foods we ate are halal they are typical dishes of the Muslim ethnic minority here is only a street food of Shean which is famous all over the world now it is not halal yes guys it is the rosamo the roso basically it is made with pork and since here it is full of eh here of Muslims there is also the version with beef and therefore Ramo there is both pork and halal beef you see there is a roamo alone who is sitting on this bench of a caffè 是薑菜的,這是的加肉的這呃這是豬肉還是牛肉玩笑了牛肉吧 that I finally got a key ring perino in the shape of a ruciamo only here in San you can find it look at the meat you can even remove it now it has become a normal mua my new earring come on and I will reveal a secret to you to see the drum tower from above I recommend this shopping center called Caiuen you have to look for alino the leaning shop that sells sports stuff and there is the door to the terrace look how wonderful we have the bell tower and the drum tower and good morning today we woke up very early because if you come here to Sian right in one of the entrances to the south of the wall there is this morning market where you can have breakfast street food you can see the authentic life of the local people it opens from 6:00 in the morning and it closes at 9:00 and nothing now let’s take a bike and go have breakfast there look how much street food early in the morning and to start under these walls we will eat in this place here called zozzuamo loamuo let’s eat this here look how cute that backpack actually we already ate the loiamo yesterday but you can’t do less if you are here in Xan and the version we will eat now is made with stewed pork shank with the addition of pepper and onion and you can find it only and only in this morning market finally we made it we took our first breakfast yes because we will eat more if we still have time we spent 10 yen which is about €1.20 the branch is one of the first forms of bread with meat and it was born in Sansi that is the region where we are and I consider this as an ancestor of the hamburger because it is more than 2000 years old and we use it literally in Italian it means meat stuck in bread and usually the meat is pork that is pieces of shredded pork meat but the version that we will eat now is pork leg so even more tender and fattier do you remember the peluscino that we got yesterday here it is this one here is with beef well let’s eat because we are hungry enjoy your meal mm it is very good on the outside there is this bread that is slightly crunchy thin soft on the inside then there is the meat that is a mix between lean meat fatty meat pork skin and there is also a gelatinous layer so it is not dry very soft it melts in your mouth inside they also put pepper that gives it that extra sweetness that fruitiness that extra juiciness that usually the Sienese the locals hate that is like putting pineapple on pizza in Italy but oh you saw there is a lot of lines means that sometimes innovations work and then look at the bread outside it’s basically the same bread they use to make pao do you remember the first dish we ate here in Shian where we had to separate the little pieces of bread here is the same bread only that here it was toasted so the outside remains a little crunchy and the inside soft another peculiarity is that when they cut this bread it must always be a thinner part and a thicker part otherwise the perception of taste changes in this market you can find everything and more vegetables fruit street food of all kinds bread dried fruit sweets everything everything everything only that there is limited time now it’s almost 9 and I saw that some stands are going away and after finishing eating the Branch we got thirsty we queued for miles also to get this soy milk with jasmine which is a specialty of Siana also this and there is both cold and hot we get a cold one 16 take And in total we spent 16 yen which is about €2 in the meantime we drink the sip of this sweet jasmine soy milk a little floury a little thick and you can smell that wonderful jasmine scent let’s try this cincao it’s nice and hot just made and look it’s all sticky and underneath is glutinous rice and on top there’s this monabellata which is made with dates and beans these dates and beans are so soft that they’ve practically become jams there’s glutinous rice which is very soft it melts in your mouth it’s not how I thought it usually glutinous rice is very chewy but this time it’s not like that no the flavor is very sweet you can taste the date a bang and there’s also that hint of sour typical of cooked dates there’s this glutinous rice that has taken all the aroma the scent of the date I’m not crazy about overly sweet desserts nor jams nor dates I don’t like jujubes but whatever it is it’s a typical thing and we eat it it’s not disgusting eh just the time to drink a soy milk and here they have cleared everything look what a change they have been very fast and to conclude this typical Sian breakfast we eat this other typical food made especially for breakfast because there are these places that close at 11:00 in the morning but of course it is breakfast wow here it is ready here the steps are like this and this is the cheapest breakfast of my life 4 which are euro cents it is a nice big portion very heavy and this dish is called Yucha ya it would be this soup made with cooked flour basically there is this flour that is sautéed together with the beef lard and then water is poured in and this thick soup is formed ea means braid which would be this braid here so from the name a braid soaked inside this yo and then he added other ingredients like soy some fried pieces of sesame salt pepper let’s see what this cheapest breakfast in the world is mmm very tasty creamy the very thick soup then there is the crunchiness of these flakes that they really give that extra touch it is salty just right and it is very nutritious eh it costs little but it gives you all the strength you need to face the day here you find the carbohydrate the braid with soup at the end it is all flour then there is the soy which gives the proteins then in addition to finding the pepper salt I think there are other spices very fragrant that reminds me a little of the Middle East with the Silk Road as you well know China has made exchanges both from the economic cultural point of view and also of the gastronomic culture now brought to see the terracotta army about 2200 years ago Shin Juan conquered the six neighboring kingdoms and unified the first Chinese empire from which today’s China would be born to protect his empire he gave the order to build the great wall of China and as you well know he was obsessed with immortality no I ate a lot of medicine to prolong his life to never die the irony of fate he died for that and nothing he believed in the afterlife and thought that I can already be the head of the world I want to be even at the head of the afterlife and therefore as soon as he ascended to the throne at only 13 years old he had a majestic tomb built the most imposing ever existed in the world following his death there was a civil war and every trace of this legendary tomb was lost for over 2000 years until 1974 when some farmers found something while digging a well that is the exact point from where they found the terracotta army and do you know how much they gave him for this thing 30 RM inb €4 €5 he gave him €5 with this stuff and here they are 8,000 statues each different from the other among which up to today about 1200 have been reassembled yes because the statues were found and destroyed from the first to the last so they were placed piece by piece one by one and think that to reconstruct each statue it takes about 3 years this army at the origins had the color they were not earth colored and now they are looking for a way to understand how eh dig and not lose the color to those times doing something like that is monstrous I mean it’s a truly incredible thing I get goosebumps guys and you’ve seen that we are quite far away in seeing the army at the time it wasn’t like that I mean at the time you could visit the terracotta army from much closer then there was a time that a tourist who dressed up as a terracotta army entered and camouflaged himself inside and then from there they put protections everywhere it was all his fault otherwise we could have seen them from much closer here guys it’s the conference hall they held interviews here you see they also do parades here oh the one with the cart no anyway here they are continuing to do the excavations to do the research as you can see and this is the whole procedure you see they have to be very very careful first we saw the army that protects the first then we saw the room where they decide the plans for the attack and this instead is the room where there is the reserve army he didn’t do something like that just to do it he actually built a combat technique no okay here you can see a soldier from closer I feel a smell of fart who is it that farted let me out that Ah well here here there is another one here there are fewer people to notice then the knots all the knots look at the perfection here we find another soldier this one here seems like he is posing to do kung fu martial arts instead no he is an archer here he holds the arrow here the bow here guys no one will tell you because it is not translated but in the period of the Cin dynasty you know what they ate come on this thing is in theme with us so we are interested okay they drank alcohol here are all types of vegetables types of condiments and here the types of meat guys there was wild pig lamb horse river fish and sea fish duck tail elephant nose and gorilla they ate nasa and gorilla to notice the heads I mean look at the faces how real they are anyway they were like hipsters look I mean hipster culture I think it comes from here and here we are not only talking about the army I mean soldiers but also normal people you see here there is a lady who does stretching there they are some animals here are people from the entertainment industry who make music to entertain the emperor beyond he thought of everything not only about the war but also thought about having fun no okay even the terracotta army we did it now I’m really hungry so let’s go back to the city and continue our gastronomic tour let’s go to the tuc tu guys look how it goes oh on the sidewalks this is this is But how it travels 下雨 legal 是吧下這裡下雨是一直下還是一直下會一直下一下 here it’s like 1 km long all on the sidewalk not even daandia these things happen oh god there’s the car there was a car that was going towards us anyway the cost here is like we had it done for like 2.5 kg c said 12 yan which is about €1.80 let’s hope that in the end it doesn’t cost us turn off why not in tourist places they usually say a price first and then after they say another price when it arrives at its destination in my opinion there shouldn’t be any problems eh this thing worked back then nowadays at least I’m talking about China these things don’t happen hey there hey look how big look how big it should have been shipped anyway no at the end 12 and over alim jack that is the Muslim street of Sian which is full of street food there too I found another area called Sacin hello here too and it is full of street food and is very popular with local people wherever you turn street food Lady Gaga but street food of all kinds eh street food from all over China not just from Shian which then the nice thing then the nice thing is that they are all close to each other so from the Muslim quarter you take a walk for 10 minutes a quarter of an hour and you arrive right here and one of the street foods that you absolutely have to eat here in Sia is definitely the Shanu New Roping which literally means tasty flaky beef focaccia and as you may have guessed from the white hats of the guys it is a specialty all’al of the Muslim ethnic minority here and it is a fried focaccia with a filling of minced beef and spring onion spiced with Sechan pepper cumin and other spices and here it is ready our new roping we spent 10 yan which is about €1.20 it is overcooked and boiling hot but we eat it anyway because if it cools down it is no longer good enjoy your meal ah inside it is boiling hot but it is very tasty and inopi translated into Italian means beef focaccia the juicy and tasty meat then there is the spring onion and the minced suan pepper that gives that extra scent and outside the dough is very crunchy listen to the noise it makes when I take a bite if you come to Canan this one is a must you will eat another 20 mm well after seeing the terracotta army just one focaccia for lunch was not enough so now we also slap on some nice typical ravioli that they only make here eh no they are neither dry nor half moon shaped now I present to you Swan Su which means ravioli in a sour soup usually we know Chinese ravioli served dry but here in Shan they serve it inside this sour broth with a little chili pepper and as you can see the shape is also different they are closed in a different way they don’t have the usual shape of the ciaz of the normal Chinese ravioli enjoy your meal wow it really kicks inside there is beef with Chinese garlic and then the skin is a little thicker than the normal Chinese ravioli and then these ravioli are ajar like and sometimes this hole opens you put the soup in it and it acts as a spoon and then you have this ravioli with the soup already inside sorry they are very slippery mm more that they explode in your mouth and in this broth we find Chinese vinegar chili pepper sesame and coriander so it remains a little sour but it is slightly spicy it is not strong their chili pepper is very tasty it is very fragrant the dishes here are not as excessively spicy as you can find them in Chongching or Suuan I know that many of you hate coriander and here in China you find it everywhere, that is, in every dish they serve you they have to put this coriander. Now I’ll point out a phrase in Chinese that is said fui or sance which means I don’t want coriander because even in China not everyone likes it. I mean there are people who can’t stand it I didn’t like it at first but now I really like it and I have to put it on because otherwise it has a touch less of Chineseness and you see this little bowl near us inside we have the water they cooked the ravioli in because in China there is this saying entown which means the original water digests the original food so after eating these ravioli you can take this digestive here and it disappears completely I mean don’t get fat what you see behind my shoulders right at the bottom is the pagoda of the big goose it reserves all the texts plus sacridism that one of the most important monks in Chinese history has preserved who is this bald guy here called Tanzan who basically traveled to India to bring the texts from India I don’t know if you know a minimum of Chinese literature I know very little but this one here is really very famous this novel which in Chinese is called Yes or C is translated into Italian the journey to the West and Shan was actually inspired for that part of the monk no the monk who travels towards the osidente and nearby there were the companions including Ukong the king Simmia and right in front of the pagoda of the big goose we have this little square it is a huge road that in the evening I recommend you come in the evening it lights up with lots of shows since we are nearby we wait for it to become evening and I will show it to you well here too I can give you a tip and if you want to drink a coffee with a beautiful view of the pagoda of the big goose the coffee shop is called Maan App Coffee which is on the fourth floor of the Joy City shopping center which is right in front of the pagoda take a coffee that costs -4 and take photos from there because there is no one behind and they don’t queue oh here yes yes good you saw how good she is these are the themed dances because now we are inside a restaurant that has the theme of the journey to the West yes today and this is a song a dance that is right inside that novel that they even made a TV series they even gave us a fan and here it is also famous for rice wine let’s see how it is healthy and sweet a little rice there is a little sour it seems like drinking a soft drink a little alcoholic in the meantime let’s eat this dish called Ciao it is a kind of jelly enjoy your meal it is very soft it melts in your mouth it is very gelatinous and you can taste the corn a lot because it is a dish made with corn flour and potatoes and therefore it is very corny and crumbles like a potato the seasoning is slightly spicy and the sesame gives that extra scent here it is thanks now let’s eat the huluci which is another typical dish typical of which is a fried chicken in the shape of a hulu which would be like a kind of pumpkin you know that in China you can find a lot of stuff with this shape here like a bottle of alcohol here this one is called hulu also the tangulu comes from this type also the dish you see below is in the shape of a gulu the chicken instead I don’t understand what it has to do with hulu okay guys let’s eat no okay ah what stuff I mean there’s this chicken that falls apart really good the meat is very spicy and the frying is just as tasty and it’s slightly crunchy it’s as if before putting it to fry they’ve already seasoned it marinated boiled and then fried it was cooked several times for this reason it remains very very tender and here there were some spices let’s try it amazing really good you see the meat how it comes off the bone immediately and only this chicken we spent 78 which is about €10 it’s a lot but oh it’s fair because it’s not a normal chicken it’s a chicken seasoned in their own way and it’s really worth trying here they don’t even have glasses for beer I mean this is the glass eh it was Wong inside the place he even spoke to me he said “Enjoy your meal very good well done seen seen what stuff eh oh god what a big burp that one threw out oh it became evening and look there’s a super mega long road called Tatan Puen which means the great Tang dynasty that doesn’t even sleep At night it’s really crowded with people, there weren’t so many before people eh and basically here it is not only a street with lots of street food shops there are also many shows themed on the Tang dynasty as you well know when there was the Tang dynasty it was the golden age of China and Xian was the capital and it was not called Shian but Chang An and they have this thing printed right in their hearts that is they care a lot and along this street there are lots of shows that are even free in fact sometimes you see large groups that are there suspecting because they have the timetables and they already know in advance what time this show is in this particular place and therefore you can see lots of people grouped together waiting there even if there is no one doing the show oh what’s happening guys here they are screaming what are you screaming guys here cable okay guys if you scream the fountain rises and as you may have guessed today’s episode has also come to an end thanks for coming this far I hope you enjoyed the video don’t forget to like and follow if you haven’t done so
