The reason why there are many Muslim shops in Zhengzhou is mainly related to the large Hui population and religious beliefs. Hui nationality is one of the most populous ethnic minorities in China. Mainly distributed in Ningxia, Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Henan and Hebei. Hui people believe in Islam, so in a city like Zhengzhou, there are many things related to Islam, including mosques and halal restaurants.

In addition, in order to meet the religious needs and eating habits of the local Hui people, the number of Muslim restaurants will increase accordingly. These restaurants provide food and catering services that meet the religious requirements of Hui and Muslims to meet their religious and living needs.

Generally speaking, religious belief, population distribution and local demand explain why there are so many halal shops in Zhengzhou.
