This is the kind of place I love. Once you get off the manicured central walkway there is so much life and the everyday people of Xi'an.

Start from Sanjiqiao metro station and enjoy the food. The highlights were the spicy/sour dumpling soup and the lamb skewers. It is all good, inexpensive and fresh. Literally follow your nose.…
