Great place to sample the local atmosphere and Muslim culture in China. Very vibrant and bustling streets. The food market has lots of street vendors and restaurants which prepare everything right in front of you. You will need to be willing to be adventurous if you are going to try some of the local dishes. Nice to also see at night all lit up. There is also a souvenir market and several mosques in the area - the great mosque is the most popular.
