Mr. Chen, a tourist from Hangzhou, shared his impression of Xi'an as a city rich in historical heritage. From his sitting spot, he observed green trains, Fuxing high-speed trains, and the China-Europe Freight Train passing by the Ming City Wall. This scene beautifully captured the striking contrast between modern and historical elements.

The inspiration behind the coffee shop, as explained by owner Zhang Qian, came from a spontaneous visit to the area in 2023. During her visit, she witnessed a train passing through the Anyuan Gate of the Xi'an City Wall. This moment reminded her of the line, "Beneath the city wall of Xi'an lies the train of the Xi'an people," from the popular local song "The Song of the Xi'an People". After discussing the idea with friends, she decided to share this unique experience with a wider audience by opening a coffee shop.

Since its opening in April this year, "Xi'an People's Coffee" has attracted numerous visitors with its unique viewing experience. According to Zhang Qian, around 40 to 50 trains pass by this area every day.

In addition to providing a scenic viewing experience, the coffee shop offers an extensive selection of coffee, ranging from classic Americano to specialty coffees with unique Xi'an flavors. Each option is sure to captivate customers. As Zhang Qian mentioned, "The Ice Peak Americano, Jiuniang Latte, Gaiwan Tiramisu, and other specialty coffees and desserts are very popular among our customers."

The shop also features a variety of train-themed elements, which attract train enthusiasts from across the country. To further enrich the customer experience, Zhang Qian plans to introduce customized cup stickers designed like train tickets. These stickers will allow visitors to print the names of their own cities, such as "Xi'an-Chengdu" or "Xi'an-Shanghai", creating a unique connection between Xi'an and other cities.
