Chinese Hamburger (Roujiamo)
Slow-braised pork or beef is chopped up and stuffed into crispy, freshly baked bread, then drizzled with rich, flavorful juices. Crispy outside, tender inside, absolutely bursting with meaty goodness.

Lamb Soup with Bread (Yangrou Paomo)
You tear the flatbread into small pieces by hand (the smaller, the better for absorbing flavors), then it’s covered with piping hot lamb broth and topped with tender meat and seasonings. The bread-tearing process is half the fun!

Minced Meat Noodles (Saozi Mian)
Hand-pulled noodles topped with a mix of diced pork, eggs, wood ear mushrooms, carrots, and other ingredients, then mixed together for a deliciously tangy and savory flavor.

Spicy Soup (Hula Tang)
Beef broth loaded with gluten, tofu skin, wood ear mushrooms, and plenty of white pepper, thickened to a hearty consistency. It’s spicy, warming, and a Xi’an breakfast favorite.

Cold Noodles (Liangpi)
Rice-flour noodles steamed and cooled, served with gluten, cucumber strips, and a tangy-spicy sauce. Refreshingly smooth and especially perfect for beating the summer heat.

You can also pick up traditional crafts like paper cuttings, persimmon cakes, and specialty baked goods along the streets.
