The Outer Square is a vast open space in downtown Xi'an, perfect for strolling and absorbing the city's energy. Flanked by food stalls serving mouth-watering local snacks like roujiamo (Chinese burgers) and yangrou paomo (lamb stew) , this hub also hides gem-like文创stores in restored historical buildings—hunt for traditional shadow puppets or opera masks you won't find elsewhere, and if lucky, catch impromptu folk music performances at dusk that'll transport you back to ancient Chang'an.
