The Hui people in the city are accustomed to drinking milk tea for breakfast all year round.

The Hui people are very particular about their drinks and do not drink any stagnant or unclean water. It is taboo to bathe, wash clothes, or pour sewage near drinking water sources. The Hui people also like to drink tea and entertain guests with tea. The Hui people in the northwest region are very famous for their Gaiwan tea. The Hui people in Ningxia also drink Babao tea cans, which is also very distinctive.

Uyghur

When it comes to "Xinjiang rice", the classic staple food is not only pulled strips, baked buns, pilaf, but also naan.

People’s lives have improved, and Nang has also improved. Uighur traditional pasta, in addition to the crispy and crispy naan that is as big as a pot lid, there is also a naan that is about two and a half fingers thick, with a small nest in the middle, which is very cute. Later, there were oily naan mixed with butter, milk and sugar, which were crispy and delicious, and small in size, more like snacks. But the Uyghurs still eat naan in an old-fashioned way, eating the kind of white flour naan without any ingredients, because it can be broken into pieces and soaked in milk tea. Although it is soaked in the juice of the milk tea, it is still pliable and does not look like "improved" food. The naan fell into pieces when you put it in. And those who queued up for a long time to buy are mostly Han Chinese. Uighurs only buy one or two to try as snacks.
