This is a good number of the noodles I tried while in China, but not all of them. Shanxi (山西) is famous for there noodles, and there is supposedly upwards of 100 different kinds, though several of these originated in Shaanxi province (陕西省) as well as elsewhere. Hopefully this fills some of the gaps in the internet for others trying to track down the varieties of chinese noodles.

OK - now I'm hungry. These look amazing. Amy was having noodle cravings not so long ago- went around the internet looking for pictures and recipes. I'll tell her to take a look.
What an badass collection of noodles. Very helpful to identify some we've been eating in China since we don't have read or speak any mandarin. Beautiful photos too. Thanks for putting this together.
There seems to be a lack of noodle pictures out there so I'm glad these proved useful. There is so many more that I wish I had pictures of, some I've tried and some I have yet to but perhaps one day I can expand this collection of images.
Love your collection of noodles. Not only photos are hard to find also these dishes are mostly impossible to find outside of China
Thanks lamianworld. I'm always trying to track down chinese noodles here in America. I know it's pretty far from you right now but there are two noodle houses in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania that would be worth putting on the radar incase you're ever in that part of the world; Nanzhou hand drawn noodle house, and Lanzhou hand drawn noodle house. Best of luck with your quest.
