The density of Muslim restaurants and mosques in the urban area is quite high, and there are 6 mosques along the pedestrian street in the urban area. The population data of Hui nationality in Kunming is much more than that of Lanzhou and Xi 'an in the north, but it is not obvious on the whole. Hui people in urban areas have no habit of wearing white hats, which is difficult to identify, but the population density is very high, and there are many counties under the jurisdiction of Kunming, so the total population is also large. If you are very religious, you can go to southern and central Yunnan and Dali. Hui people in these places maintain and inherit orthodox Islamic beliefs, just like Qinghai in the northwest and Linxia in Gansu. Everything follows the tradition, and the pilgrimage population to Mecca is also the leading in the country. Kunming International Airport has direct flights to Saudi Arabia every year.
However, the Hui atmosphere in the city is not as strong as that in the northwest, and the ethnic characteristics in the countryside are obvious. This is the reality in Yunnan. I know that some Hui people in Xinjiang have also studied classics in the counties below Yunnan. Kunming, I think it meets your three points. Yunnan University and Yunnan University for Nationalities are recommended by universities. There are many Hui people, but they are basically Hui people in Yunnan. Be prepared psychologically.
