How to Visit
1
Come at night rather than daytime
Xifu Old Street is mainly about food, lights, and an easy evening walk.
Tip:In daytime it can feel thin; after the lanterns turn on and the food stalls get busy, the experience works much better.
2
Treat it as a city-route ending, not a main attraction
It fits best after Jintai Taoist Temple, Zhonghua Shigu Garden, or Baoji Bronze Ware Museum.
Tip:Use it for dinner, snacks, and night photos rather than setting aside half a day.
3
Start with Baoji local flavors
Prioritize items such as ganmianpi, saozi noodles, crispy pork soup, tofu pudding with bread, fried rice cakes, and walnut buns.
Tip:Trendy snacks are fine, but do not choose only by the longest queue.
4
Accept that it is a recreated old-style street
Xifu Old Street is not an original ancient town.
Tip:It is a commercial street for Xifu food, folk culture, and casual evening wandering. Go in expecting a meal and a short stroll, and it works well.
5
Pair it with Jintai Taoist Temple from afternoon to evening
Visit Jintai Taoist Temple in the afternoon for architecture and city views, then come down to Xifu Old Street for dinner.
Tip:This keeps the route smooth and avoids backtracking.
Highlights
- Xifu Old Street is useful for trying several Baoji snacks in one place.
- The lanterns and old-style street setting work better at night.
- Ganmianpi, saozi noodles, crispy pork soup, and fried rice cakes are better priorities than generic snacks.
- It suits families, friends, and a relaxed evening walk.
- It pairs easily with Jintai Taoist Temple and Zhonghua Shigu Garden.
Insider Tips
✦Do not expect a real ancient town; it is more of a food and folk-culture commercial street.
✦Dinner time gets busy, so arrive slightly early if you want a calmer meal.
✦Watch where local visitors queue rather than following only heavily packaged snacks.
✦The area has some slopes, so comfortable shoes help.
✦If you only want dinner, 1-2 hours is enough.
