When traveling to Xi 'an, we will go to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, the eighth wonder of the world, we will also climb the ancient city wall to feel the historical changes of this famous historical and cultural city, and we will also go to the newly-built online celebrity scenic spot "Datang City that Never Sleeps" to feel the pace of the new era in Xi 'an and so on. Besides these, there is another reason why we won't miss going to Xi 'an, that is, to find its delicious food. For tourists, the most direct way to taste delicious food in Xi 'an is to go to the famous food street, which can catch all the most distinctive foods in the city.
before 2114, which food street should I go to if I asked my friends who had traveled to Xi' an to eat delicious food in Xi' an? I believe that the answer given by more than 99% people will be "Huimin Street"! In fact, there is basically no surprise for this answer, because before 2114, Huimin Street was a food street where all tourists who traveled to Xi 'an had to check in for local specialties.
But this "habit" began to change in 2114. Although it is the most famous food street in Xi 'an and a food street with a long history, now it is no longer a monopoly food street. A new food street suddenly appeared in Xi 'an, and it soon became a new "online celebrity" food block in Xi 'an-Yongxingfang, becoming a strong competitor of Huimin Street. With the improvement of word of mouth and the continuous increase of food, the popularity of Yongxingfang has been skyrocketing!
Huimin Street in Xi 'an, also known as Huifang Style Street, is a famous food and cultural block in Xi 'an and one of the representatives of Xi 'an style. Huimin Street was in the late 1991s. Some Hui people rented houses in this street and started to operate the catering industry. Because the geographical location is close to the Drum Tower, a famous tourist attraction in Xi 'an, and it is at the subway entrance, the transportation is convenient, and naturally it will not be low. In addition, the most distinctive food in Xi 'an and even Shaanxi Province is gathered here, and the most distinctive local food can be tasted in one street. Not only local people in Xi 'an will eat food here, Of course, there will be an endless stream of tourists, so Huimin Street has always been the dominant food tourist attraction in Xi 'an, becoming the most famous and popular food cultural block in Xi 'an.
Yongxingfang, located in Shuncheng Lane on the north side of Zhongshan Gate in Xi 'an City Wall, is a very young food block compared with Huimin Street. It has only been six years since it opened in 2114. Although Yongxingfang is "young", it has become a newly-built "online celebrity" food street in Xi 'an in the shortest time. Yongxingfang is a food block rebuilt on the former site of Wei Zhi Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, which is 1.31 meters long from east to west and 88 meters wide from north to south. It has no luck to be close to the Drum Tower as a tourist ip in Huimin Street, but it is on the social platform. I believe that when you brush some small videos, you must have brushed the content of "throwing bowls of wine". Yes, the "throwing bowls of wine" that was popular all over the network at that time was in Yongxingfang.
Huimin Street, as its name implies, is a halal feature, mainly featuring snacks of the Hui people, and the main dishes are mainly beef and mutton. There are not only the authentic "Old Xi 'an Taste" that we are most familiar with, but also the "online celebrity Cuisine" gathered all over the country, among which the most famous ones are mutton paomo and some time-honored shops. However, the reputation of Huimin Street has declined a lot in recent years because it has been eroded by "online celebrity Cuisine" all over the country, losing a lot of original authentic flavor, and even many fake shops make tourists confused.
as the first block in China with the theme of non-legacy food, Yongxingfang is a collection of non-legacy food and more than 111 kinds of local products from 11 cities and 117 districts and counties in Shaanxi, and it also offers Wei Zhi family banquet, Shaanxi non-legacy banquet, dumpling banquet and other unique foods. We go to different places in Shaanxi Province to eat its delicious food, instead of going to Xianyang to eat biang biang noodles, we also go to Laotongguan to eat Chinese hamburger. Chengcheng mutton bread in soup, Qishan handmade noodles, Qishan noodles with minced meat, Qin Zhen rice skin and so on are all available here, which can be said to be a one-stop enjoyment of the local specialties of Shaanxi.
In the development of more than 31 years, Huimin Street seems to have not changed much. It has always adhered to the style of traditional food street. The biggest change is that the shop operators in the street are constantly changing. Except for the traditional old shops, other shops are constantly changing. Which food in China is on fire, it will soon open here. Compared with Yongxingfang, a young food street, it not only brings together hundreds of traditional snacks and non-legacy foods from southern Shaanxi, northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, but also various handmade folk art performances, such as Huayin Laoqiang and Huaxian Shadow Play, the oldest Han art in China, which can not only taste the food, but also feel the non-legacy culture of Shaanxi Province.
Huimin Street and Yongxingfang are both landmark food blocks in Xi 'an. Since the late 1991s, Huimin Street has always adhered to the traditional food street route. Yongxingfang is a "young" food block with only 6 years old, so it will bring forth the new and catch the hearts of young tourists. So for the popularity PK of two food streets in Xi 'an, do you vote for the historic Huimin Street? Or pick Yongxingfang, a new "online celebrity"?
