Yongxingfang is a 2014-built Tang-themed food court (on the historical site of Tang dynasty Wei Zheng's mansion) sitting just inside the East Gate of the City Wall. 100+ stalls of Shaanxi-province snacks — Liangpi cold noodles, rougamo (Chinese hamburger), biang biang noodles, mung bean cake. The big attraction is the 'shouting noodle bowl' (摔碗酒) street performance: ¥10 for a small bowl of grain wine; you down it then smash the bowl on the ground while shouting (the smashed bowls pile up to chest height by evening). Free entry; food ¥10-30 per item. Less hectic than the Muslim Quarter — locals + domestic tourists more than foreigners. Best 7-10 PM. 5 min taxi from East Gate.

More relaxed than Muslim Quarter. The bowl-smashing wine bar is a tradition.
