Xi'an , the most famous capital of ancient China, was built over 3,000 years ago. Not only does it have a lot of heritage and old buildings, which attract tourists from all around the world, it is also famous for its tasty food, especially a variety of noodles. Its nickname is 'the kingdom of carbohydrates,' because most of the people who live here eat noodles at every meal. Noodles are rich in carbohydrates, which provide enough energy for people. The noodles in Xi'an are very different from those in other areas. They are usually very wide. We roll the dough into a big flat piece, cut it into smaller pieces, then stretch it. One kind of noodles is even as wide as your belt. These are called belt noodles. We boil the noodles and then put them into a big bowl with different toppings. The toppings are usually made from the local ingredients and feature some special flavours : spicy, sour, chewy and appetizing. Another necessary item for a bowl of noodles is garlic. One bite of noodles with one bite of garlic is the best way to enjoy noodles. There is a local saying: If you eat noodles without garlic, you lose half the taste. My mouth is already watering, I can't wait to enjoy a bowl of belt noodles for lunch. Here are some interesting pictures below for you to appreciate.

Xi’an, is the most famous capital of ancient China and was built over 3,000 years ago. Not only it has a huge heritage featuring old buildings which attract tourists all around the world, but it is also famous for its tasty food, especially for its variety of noodles. Xi’an has another which is the kingdom of carbohydrate, because most (of the) people who live / living here eat noodles at each meal. Noodles are rich in carbohydrates which can provide enough energy to the body. The noodles in Xi'an are very different from noodles made in other areas, they are usually very wide because the dough is kneaded to form a big flat piece, then cut it into smaller pieces. (then pull it longer <= I don’t know what you mean by that). One kind of those noodles is even as wide as a belt and this is why they are called Belt Noodles. We boil the noodles and then put them into a big bowl with different toppings on it. Toppings are usually made from local ingredients and can have many different sorts of flavours(UK) / flavors(US) such as spiciness and sourness. These kinds of noodles are also quite chewy(this term means difficult to chew, as if you were trying to eat rubber, is that actually what you meant?) and appetizing. Another unmissable ingredient to add to a bowl of noodles is garlic, one bite of noodles with one bite of garlic is the best way to enjoy noodles. There is local saying that goes as: eating noodles without garlic will make it lose half of its taste. I am already mouthwatering; I can't wait to enjoy a bowl of Belt Noodles for lunch. I’ve attached a few nice pictures below for you to appreciate / enjoy.
