What should be paid attention to regarding food and drink? Are there many halal rules?
Most restaurants operate halal: do not bring non-halal food or alcohol inside; night market stalls are most reliable when cooked and eaten on the spot; just respect the etiquette, no need to be nervous.
Cuisine in Xinjiang is mainly halal: when entering a halal restaurant, do not bring your own alcohol or non-halal food, this is the most basic rule. Your choices will not be affected at all—you can have enough variety to eat for a week without repeating dishes, including kebabs, pilaf, mixed noodles, big plate chicken, baked buns, and various noodle desserts.
Stomach safety: choose stalls that prepare food on the spot and sell immediately. Boil raw milk before drinking, and yogurt or hot milk tea can be consumed safely. In the dry climate, drink more water, and have fruit arranged between meals.
