Where to Eat in Xianyang

Steamed pork roujiamo is a popular breakfast in Xianyang, and you can find it at numerous stalls. Among them, Old Yang's Restaurant on North Leyu Road is the most renowned. Head north from the bustling Cinema Crossroads in Xianyang, and you will spot the shop on the west side of the road right past the 505 Xin Suan Ku La Building.

It has two small storefronts but extends deep inward, covering an area of over 100 square meters. A dark wooden horizontal plaque hangs above the entrance, exuding an antique charm. This shop only serves breakfast. If you get up late and arrive after 9 or 10 o'clock, you will find it closed.

Zhongshan Street is the ideal place to try biangbiang noodles. Several noodle shops cluster near the People's Theatre. Most regular customers simply order: "One bowl of noodles, full toppings." A full topping set includes minced pork sauce, tomato and egg, plus chili oil — all three essentials served together.

North Street is lined with affordable small eateries catering to local folks, offering a full range of traditional snacks and daily meals at budget-friendly prices.

Directions: Walk straight along North Street and you will reach Zhongshan Street.

The Four Delicacies of Qianzhou — guokui crusty pancake, handmade dried noodles, crisp fried pastries and tofu pudding — are iconic local flavors of Xianyang and definitely worth a try. For the most authentic taste of these traditional snacks, head to the old streets around North Street in Qian County.

Directions: Go south from North Gate Crossroads in downtown Xianyang to get to North Street.
