Muslim Travel Guide Jiangsu Yangzhou Zhenjiang: Gaoyou Mosques, Halal Food and Canal Towns (Part 2)
Reposted from the web
Summary: This Muslim travel guide China 2026 update keeps the original Gaoyou, Yangzhou, and Zhenjiang trip notes intact for Part 2. It also helps readers looking for halal food in China, Chinese Muslim food, China Muslim travel tips, and mosque stops in Jiangsu canal towns.
In the main hall, there is a central calligraphy scroll hanging on the wall along with other calligraphy scrolls.
The traditional winding alleys.
The alley name comes from the Persian word Baba, which is what Hui Muslims often call Baba.
At noon, we ate pufferfish (hetun), mountain delicacy tofu pot (shanzhen doufu bao), and stir-fried shrimp with egg white (furong xiaren) at Muyuan Restaurant. Muyuan is the only local halal restaurant in Zhenjiang, and Hui Muslims always hold their gatherings and banquets here. Last time I came here, I ate Yangtze white fish (jiangbaiyu), which was very fresh and tender. Because of the ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River, the owner recommended pufferfish to us, saying that April is the best time for it. We had never eaten pufferfish before, but it was really delicious, and the fish soup was perfect with rice.
