Yongxingfang

Situated just next to the city wall, this market is a fun place to visit in the evening, with performances of traditional music as well as C-pop, the good-luck-bringing smashing of a wine saucer, dozens and dozens of food stalls, and some quirky souvenirs to boot. Busy, but safe, and the prices were moderate.

A fun place to try out lots of food and drinks after doing the lengthy walk of the Xi’an ancient city walls. It has an old bustling marketplace ambiance of ancient times (my knowledge from movies only naturally) with a festive atmosphere from all the visitors. I bought a couple of nut snack gifts, drank mulberry juice (nope, the silkworms only eat the leaves so it’s so nice they left the superfruit mulberry for people), ate a braised pork leg bun, and tasted for the first time a congealed lamb blood strips and crystal noodle soup. Trying to duplicate the lamb blood soup back home will not be easy. Pig’s blood sure but lamb’s blood? Where Shaun?

Relatively modern (100 years) food market with every possible variety reflecting the fusion of the region and the silk road. Fun entertainment too

Was introduced by my friend in China, honestly speaking I felt this has more interesting varieties compare to the Muslim Street. Must try the 酒酿小丸子, is one of the best I’ve tried so far. The glutinous rice ball is very soft and with different stuffing. We requested ask to add a bit more rice alcohol and sugar, and taste superb. There are short performance at different time and place.

Another check in@photo shoot place in Xi'An! Many things can be seen here, as well as eat for local food! The environment become more colorful as the decorations are using the theme of Chinese new year! Do come in January if you wish to take photo for "red theme". Beside, Lots of Handcraft and chinese cultural stuffs can be seen here!

Yongxing Fang in Xi'an is a cultural and gastronomic street that showcases the unique charm of Shaanxi's local culture. It features traditional architecture, folk performances, and a wide variety of authentic local delicacies, making it a popular destination for tourists. Visitors can experience the vibrant culture of Shaanxi, including traditional crafts, snacks, and live cultural shows, all while immersing themselves in the rich history and traditions of the region.

Great place to get some food in the evening. There are dozens of different stalls that sell a single dish for ~¥10-15. Vegetarian options as well. Also some small restaurants and various arts & crafts shops. Nice vibe and very colorful place.

Turned out to be a rather pleasant tourist spot. Not much in terms of entertainment except for a live band but it houses a huge collection of Shaanxi cuisine. Sure, you find the typical Rou Jia mou etc but there were some standouts you don’t find in the Bell Tower area.
