Islamic Style Street is located in the Huimin District of Hohhot, which covers a total area of 175 square kilometers. The silver coins of the Persian Sassanian Dynasty unearthed by archaeologists in Bakaizi Village, Hohhot, were the currency brought to China by Persian and Arab merchants at that time. In addition, due to the relatively concentrated settlement of the Hui ethnic group in this area, a certain scale of Hui economic, cultural, and historical atmosphere has been formed, hence the name of the Huimin District. In 1950, with the approval of the Central People's Government, the Hui Autonomous Region of Guisui City was officially established, becoming the first Hui autonomous region among China’s municipal districts. It was renamed the Huimin District of Hohhot in 1956. On May 14, 2000, the State Council (State Letter [2000] No. 42) approved the adjustment of the administrative divisions of the municipal districts of Hohhot, defining the current administrative scope of the Huimin District as comprising seven streets and one town.
