Xita Korean Style Street

I thought this place, like Zhongjie, would be a place I could spend a lot of time wandering. I was surprised to find that it was primarily focused on food, and the so-called Hanbai Shopping Mall was little more than a small commodity market, not suitable for aimless shopping. At the south end of Fengqing Street is the Pyongyang Pavilion, reportedly run by the North Korean government. The waiters are all young North Korean university students from relatively well-off families. Besides dining, there are also cultural performances, and the average cost per person is close to 200 yuan.

There are many Korean dishes to eat. I thought that the shops in the alleys would be more economical, but it turns out that I was wrong. There is not much difference. But it is delicious. It is always good to compare and shop around.

For lunch, I went to Xita Street, a short Korean-style street with various Korean restaurants. The live grilled eel and spine soup are quite famous, but I couldn’t eat them myself, so I only ordered bibimbap and cold noodles.

Xita Street is a traditional gathering place for ethnic Koreans. Lined with Korean-style buildings, it boasts a variety of clothing stores, offering a wide selection of Korean-inspired clothing. However, prices are generally high and negotiable. Besides shopping, you can also enjoy a variety of authentic Korean delicacies, including the famous Xita Cold Noodles restaurant. Xita Street is home to numerous karaoke bars and karaoke bars. At night, the dazzling Xita area transforms into "Xita City," Shenyang's renowned "City That Never Sleeps," known as the "Little Seoul of the North." Solo travelers should exercise caution when visiting Xita at night.

Shenyang boasts four white pagodas, located in the east, south, west, and north. I usually refer to them as the Four Pagodas of Shengjing. They are Yongguang Temple in the east, Yanshou Temple in the west, Guangci Temple in the south, and Falun Temple in the north. However, the most famous is undoubtedly the West Pagoda. Built by Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, the four pagodas formed a natural altar to protect the people of Shengjing, ensuring "serving the country, ensuring the people's safety, and the arrival of the five blessings." Here's a brief overview of the West Pagoda area:

1. Take bus No. 243, 262 or 263, get off at Xita Station, walk north across the viaduct and walk 50 meters to the left;

2. The opening hours are from 8:00 to 22:00, but because the West Tower is very small, you can visit it in just over ten minutes;

3. The highlight of my talk is the Korean-style street next to the West Tower. It is a paradise for foodies. There are many delicious foods such as beer fried chicken, jjajangmyeon, stone pot rice, ginseng chicken soup, Korean barbecue, seafood noodles, fried rice cakes, etc., which are very tempting. You can't finish them all in a whole day.

4. After eating and drinking, you can also go shopping in the surrounding shopping malls, where there are all kinds of Korean products. You will definitely return home with a lot of goods and make the trip worthwhile.

It has a very Korean flavor and there is a lot to eat, so it's suitable for a stroll.

It's right next to the West Tower. After visiting the West Tower, you can have a Korean meal here for dinner.

Snacks, barbecue, so delicious

Just look for good reputations on Dianping or Meituan, there are many delicious ones.

You can enjoy a wide variety of Korean and Japanese food here. Known as the city that never sleeps, this place has many Korean restaurants, KTVs, and bathhouses that are worth a visit.

Anyone with even the slightest interest in Korea highly recommends visiting this place! Don't criticize me if you don't agree. From Xita Bus Station to Korea Street, you'll find Korean-style shops. Here, you'll hear Korean, not Northeastern dialect. As a self-taught Korean speaker, I've always been frustrated by the lack of genuine Korean books in mainland China. But I found it this time! Just a short walk to the right of Xita Street is the Xinhua Bookstore. It's packed with Korean books! Even though Hongxin Road in Shanghai is a famous Korean street, I couldn't find any Korean books there. This truly was the most surprising part of my trip to Northeast China! Feel free to browse around and pick out what you like.

They are all Korean-related shops, many of which sell barbecue.

There are so many delicious foods, I haven’t eaten enough, I want to eat something more

I spent over an hour visiting the West Pagoda and Yanshou Temple. This temple is one of the "Four Pagodas and Four Temples" built by Huang Taiji over 300 years ago. It is a Tibetan Buddhist Lama temple built to protect the country and stabilize the capital. The current West Pagoda was rebuilt in 1998; the original was demolished in 1968 due to its dilapidated state.

We went to Xita Street that night. It was packed with ethnic Koreans. The Korean food was delicious. The flight attendant who had dropped us off earlier also suggested eating there, but we needed to be careful. It's a bit chaotic, and some people are smuggled in. While other places in Shenyang are deserted at night and shops close early, Xita Street is still bustling.

Ancient archways, women in Korean clothing, and restaurants where Korean is spoken all indicate this street is home to a large Korean community. With a history spanning over 120 years, Xita Commercial Street has fostered a unique ethnic culture. Along the main axis of Xita Street, a leisure and cultural industry belt with a strong Korean and Korean flavor has emerged. Bars and restaurants abound, making it a perfect spot for an evening stroll.

You can dine here, the food tastes pretty good. You can also order the Jiaxita cold noodles nearby, which are super delicious. The environment inside the restaurant is not so good, the waiters are indifferent, and there are a lot of people, but it is worth going there just for the cold noodles.

There is a Korean street with all kinds of barbecue, ginseng chicken soup and so on. We chose the more famous Caojia to eat barbecue. The generosity of Northeastern people is really not to be underestimated. A large table only had a little over 100 people, and it was so filling.

Didn't go shopping much, just had some Korean BBQ. It was pretty good.

Nearly all the signs on Xita Korean Street are in both Chinese and Korean, and many of the shop owners are actually Korean. The evening atmosphere on the street has a bit of an old Hong Kong feel, and there are plenty of Korean restaurants to choose from.

The Korean flavor is very strong, the Korean barbecue here is really delicious

There's not much to do in Shenyang, but the Xita is worth a visit and has a lot to eat. I spent most of my time eating in the Xita. A friend recommended Jinjia Live Grilled Eel. It's hidden in a run-down neighborhood and not easy to find, but the taste is very good. The price is a bit high, but it's acceptable. It's worth a try.

Xita Pedestrian Street is truly one of Shenyang's most distinctive features, with Korean characters everywhere, Korean shopping malls, and the legendary crowds of North Korean workers and their Korean bosses. I didn't really want to buy anything, except for a meal of authentic North Korean cuisine. I'm curious: given North Korea's isolation, do these people, after working and seeing the world outside, bring back no news? It's incredible. And with so many Chinese tour groups these days (including the family I sat next to when I got off the plane, who were also on a trip to North Korea), wouldn't that spread the word?

A Korean food street full of Korean characters, and bibimbap at a good price.

Xita is a really great place. Hanbai and Chaobai have a wide variety of goods, but they are not cheap. I recommend the kimchi at Xita Market. It’s 6 yuan per pound and it’s so delicious. I feel that the kimchi in Yanji is not as good as this... I bought two at the time, but I think it’s too little. I will go there again next time...

Xita originally referred to one of the four ancient pagodas built around the city of Shenyang. Nowadays, when visiting Shenyang and mentioning Xita, few people know that it is actually a pagoda. Because of the concentration of Koreans, Xita has developed unique ethnic characteristics and Korean-style leisure culture over the past 120 years, becoming Shenyang's unique Korean cultural and economic center. When people mention Xita now, the first thing that comes to mind is Xita cold noodles, Korean barbecue, and Korean department stores. Xita has a wide variety of Korean delicacies and specialty products. Generally, visitors to Shenyang can enjoy a delicious meal there or buy some specialty goods to take back. It is very close to Taiyuan Street in Shenyang, and transportation is very convenient.

Cute and delicious crucian carp cakes, much cheaper than in Myeongdong, only two yuan.

There's also a Korean market in Fengqing Street that specializes in side dishes that are definitely comparable to their Korean counterparts. The porridge is truly Korean, with a great Korean feel.

Lin Coffee, located in the Korean Style Street, is a Korean summer hotpot.

After I got there, I discovered that Xita's cold noodles, priced at 12 yuan a bowl, were terrible, not as good as any of the Korean restaurants in Tianjin. Xita Street, on the other hand, is a place to buy pickles, kimchi, chili flakes, and wild blueberries. If you don't have a special need, don't go there.

When you come to Shenyang, how can you not go to Xita? Even if it is just for the dog meat and cold noodles, you must go there. One trip is not enough.

Xita is one of my favorite places in Shenyang. Since I like barbecue, the Korean cuisine in Xita is very suitable for my appetite. The more famous restaurants in Xita are: Yunlong BBQ, Changshou Ginseng Chicken Soup, Ludao, and Nanping Snack House.

The representative area is a messy place, just like the food courts of South and North Korean restaurants.

There's a Korean supermarket, but the stuff there isn't cheap. I don't recommend buying there. It's heavy and inconvenient to carry around.

Basically they are standing on the street and inviting you to eat. They mainly serve barbecue, Korean food, skewers, etc.

The environment was definitely more like a farmers' market. I didn't take any photos, so I'll just post a picture of the rice washing water I bought at Hanbai Supermarket.

The price is 9 yuan. Compared with Taobao, it is quite expensive. So I really don't recommend buying things in that supermarket.

Shenyang is a beloved place!!! It's home to a large Korean community. There are tons of delicious and authentic Korean restaurants, like Hanjiang, Jinjia Grilled Eel, Jumalo, and Six Generals Beef Spicy Soup. For excellent barbecue, there's always a line at Douniujia! The longevity ginseng chicken soup is also great; it warms you up in the winter.

We had samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) at Xita Korean Street. The soup was delicious, but my mom barely touched the chicken, saying it was so stewed it was flavorless. I eat a lot of Korean food, so I'm being objective: Xita is just another Korean street, nothing special. I wouldn't recommend going there specifically for Korean food.

Xita Street is a Korean-style street, but I was a little disappointed when I got there. It doesn't feel as distinctive as Guangzhou's Yuanjing Road.

There is a Korean street in Xita, which is actually a place where many Korean people gather. The Korean food there is quite authentic, and there are many Korean things. Girls love it the most.

The West Pagoda, although small and newly renovated, I still went there as it is the symbol of the West Pagoda. Unknown flowers are quietly blooming in the temple.

The architectural style of Xita Street is all of Xian ethnic style. It is not very busy during the day, but becomes bustling with people in the afternoon.

The cold noodles are so cold. . But it's quite refreshing to eat in the summer~~ There's a Korean supermarket called Korea Department Store or something like that, which sells a lot of Korean food, drinks, and condiments. They're quite decent and reasonably priced, so it's a good idea to bring some back for your friends who love Smecta~~

Xita Street was originally an ordinary street in Heping District, mostly inhabited by Koreans. In the early 1990s, some Korean businessmen came here to invest, and gradually formed a Korean Street.

It's a very distinctive street, basically there are Korean restaurants, the waiters are all Korean girls, and there are performances to watch!

I have always loved going there. I can't resist Korean food. Hanbaili has a lot of Korean knitted products of very good quality. The price is cheaper than that of big shopping malls, while the fashion is a little expensive. Every time I go there, I will walk around the traditional market and drink a bowl of thick tripe soup if time permits.

Shenyang's most vibrant hub for both Korean and North Korean culture! Shops, restaurants, karaoke bars, teahouses, and billiard halls are all available. The Pyongyang Pavilion is located at the southern end of Xita Street and appears to be North Korea's state guesthouse. It's a popular spot for young men and women to relax and have fun.

This is the West Tower. Well, the east, south, west and north towers in Shenyang all look the same... There is no special feature at all.

I think this is the most unique place in Shenyang. It has a strong North Korean and Korean flavor. The North Korean barbecue here is really good. I have eaten barbecue all over the country, and North Korea is still the best! There is also Korean cold noodles, which are very authentic and not cheap. Walk around and ask more, the taste is very good. Speaking of which, when Tongzi came to Shenyang, I took him to eat here. And hey, there are many bathhouses, small nightclubs, and hotels here... you know what I mean. A word of advice, this place is very chaotic at night, with all kinds of people, so just be careful when you come here to play.

Xita District is known as Shenyang's "Little Korea". The shopping malls, restaurants, and KTVs here are indeed filled with Korean and Korean flavors. Xita Street is full of this kind of wooden corridor, which is probably a special Korean ancient charm.

There are many KTVs and sauna bathing centers on Xita Street.



Maybe, should, possibly these places are very "fancy"

We arrived in Shenyang around three in the afternoon. I was already very hungry, so I took a taxi directly to Xita Street as soon as I got off the bus.

Xita Street: It is a leisure and cultural area with strong Korean ethnic characteristics.
