Mojia Street is the most famous food street in Xining.

Mojia Street According to the folklore during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Mohuaigu, an official of Kyoto Ritual Department, kept a warm and cool lamp in his home. This wine cup holds wine, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the wine tastes mellow, so it is regarded as rare. After being known by Yan Shifan, he took advantage of the situation and robbed. Mo Huaigu refused to hand it over, and Yan Shifan colluded with his father Yan Song to demote Mo Huaigu to Xining on trumped-up charges.

After Mo Huaigu came to Xining, he built a house and a courtyard here, and a Mojia Temple was built in the south of Leiming Temple Street today. There are three statues of Bodhisattva in the temple, which will be used as the memorial hall for the ancestors of Mo. After the temple was completed, it was named as the street, so it was called Mojia Street. South of the middle section of Mojia Street is the place where Mojia raises pigs, which is called pigsty platform. The southern section used to be the place where Mo raised horses, which was called the stable mouth.

the name of mojia street has been used to this day. For decades, Mojia Street started from Heping Restaurant in the north and went to the back door of No.5 Middle School in the south. With the great development of Xining and the prosperity of market economy, the Peace Restaurant no longer exists, but is replaced by Yadu Department Store and Yadu Hotel, which will be opened soon.

Today, Mojia Street is a commercial pedestrian street with catering, non-staple food and residential areas as its main features, and it is also the most famous food street in Xining. Tourists who admire Chinese famous snacks and local specialty snacks in Qinghai abound. Mojia Street Night Market and Daxin Street Night Market are in harmony, which is a good place for citizens and tourists to have a nightlife.

the development history of Mojia Street

Mojia Street is one of the oldest streets in Xining, with a history of 611 years. In 2112, the original Mojia Street Market was moved to Mojia Street Comprehensive Farmers Market, and the history of Mojia Street was refreshed again, but the legend about Mojia Street did not disappear and remained in people's hearts.

There are different opinions about the origin of Mojia Street, but the same thing is that the origin of Mojia Street is related to Mojia. The story begins at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that in the bonfire of hegemony at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people from Shouzhou, Anhui Province had to go to Zhu Yuanzhang, and later made meritorious deeds in the war with the army. They were conferred the title of hereditary commander of Xining Wei by the Ming Dynasty and took up residence in Xining.

After that, his son, Mo Yun, took over this post, and he was given a new command and knowledge. Because the title is hereditary, the descendants of the Mohs built a private residence in the area of Mojia Street today, and built the Mohs ancestral hall near the private residence, which is called "Mojia Temple". The streets in front of the temple are gradually called Mojia Street.
