Xi'an Old City Food and Night Views

Two days of eating around Sajinqiao, Yongxing Lane and the alleys of the Muslim Quarter, with the city walls and Datang Everbright City at night.

A food-focused weekend short route. Day one, eat Shaanxi snacks at Yongxing Lane. In the evening, climb the city walls for night views, then visit the Bell and Drum Towers and Dapiyuan in the Muslim Quarter. Day two, have hulatang and roujiamo for breakfast at Sajinqiao. In the afternoon, go to the south suburbs, and in the evening stroll through Chang'an Twelve Hours and Datang Everbright City before leaving. Sights are limited to those on the way to good food, which suits friends traveling together.

Summer days are hot, so schedule outdoor activities for after dusk.
