Start your day with breakfast at Hui People Street—try Zeng Gao and Hu La Tang to savor local street energy. Then visit the Xi'an Food Museum to explore the evolution of Shaanxi cuisine across thirteen dynasties, including guided tours of the ancient utensil exhibition.
Lunch at a restaurant near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda featuring a Tang Dynasty banquet, complete with ceremonial dining rituals. In the afternoon, cycle along the Ming City Wall via electric scooters from Xiao Dongmen Gate, enjoying panoramic views of the city.
Return to the museum area in the evening for a shadow puppet workshop at a heritage-themed inn, followed by sampling persimmon cakes and oil-fried chili sauce at night stalls. Conclude with a Han-Tang dance performance in the inn’s courtyard, completing a rich immersion into Xi’an’s identity as a thousand-year imperial capital.
