Located at the northeast corner of the Xi'an Bell Tower, Yisu Theatre Cultural District is centered on Yisu Theatre, consisting of various cultural display areas such as the Bell Tower Bookstore, Bell Tower Post Office,  food court, time-honored restaurants and the open-air theatre. The district is an important window to demonstrate the art of Qinqiang and showcase the charm of the city.

A featured district centering around culture  

Yisu Theatre, a theater community with a long history, was founded in 1912, and is over 100 years old. It is the first art community in China that integrates the performance, training and production of opera, playing an important role in the development of Qinqiang. Also, Yisu Theatre is known as one of the three oldest theater communities in the art world globally, along with the Bolshoi Theater and the Royal Opera House.

There is a retro pedestrian street built underneath the Yisu Theatre Cultural District, where visitors can instantly travel back to the 1980s in Xi'an. The trams, schools, cinemas, video stores, photo studios, barber stores and kiosks of that era have all been recreated in their original form.

The introduction of major time-honored restaurants in Xi'an has become another highlight of the district. Taking this "Wuyi Fresh Buns" as an example, which is a renowned brand among the Xi'an folks, there are always long queues in front of the store. There are also other time-honored brands such as Tongshengxiang Paomo, Baiyunzhang Dumplings and Xinzhonghua Yuanxiao, each bite can take you to the good old days.
