Yuanjia Village
袁家村
A Guanzhong folk village with food streets, workshops, and traditional Guanzhong architecture. It is the most popular place for Xi'an residents to eat and shop on weekends.
Yuanjia Village is in Yanxia Town, Liquan County, Xianyang City, about 60 km from downtown Xi'an. It was once an ordinary Guanzhong village, but it began developing rural tourism in 2007 and is now a nationally known folk food village in the Guanzhong region. The village snack street offers more than 100 Guanzhong snacks, including biangbiang noodles, chili oil noodles, tofu pudding, cai ge da (vegetable dumplings), mutton blood in broth, and sweet fermented rice. Traditional workshops include oil pressing, vinegar making, and tofu making. There are also old Guanzhong courtyard houses, a theater stage, and a bar street. Admission is free, and eating and strolling take about 3 to 4 hours. You can drive or take a direct bus from Xi'an West Bus Station, about 1.5 hours. It can be combined with Qianling and Zhaoling for a day trip. Weekends are very crowded, and parking is difficult, so visiting on a weekday is a better experience.
