founded in 1929, xi'an restaurant has created china's first shaanxi cuisine culture experience museum at its main store. as the largest, most systematic and comprehensive exhibition hall in china to showcase the culture of shaanxi cuisine, the museum illustrates shaanxi's diverse food culture and humanistic heritage through scientific exhibitions, study workshops and immersive dining experiences. in this way, the traditional delicacies are no longer the images in the books and documents, but vivid icons with profound stories to be told.
in addition to the interactive activities featuring modern technology, the museum presents a recreation of shaanxi food culture through various historical vessels. while learning the tea ritual of the tang dynasty, people may experience the "tea ceremony and tea art in the royal court". during the ancient-style wine-tasting activities, people can capture the romance of the tang dynasty.
the museum has areas particularly set up for a cooking workshop and culture creative products. in the cooking workshop, master chefs of xi'an restaurant will present their cooking skills to the visitors. at the same time, the culture creative products on the other side will be special souvenirs for visitors to further learn about the shaanxi cuisine culture.
