Modern Xi'an at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda
Plan My Trip →Joy City (Daeum Galeria) in Xi'an is a modern shopping and entertainment complex located beside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, in the heart of the city's cultural district. It's the perfect place to experience contemporary Xi'an shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Joy City Xi'an sits directly opposite the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Datang Everbright City pedestrian area. Its location makes it a convenient stop while exploring the city's most famous Buddhist landmark and the lively Tang-style district.
The mall houses international and Chinese fashion brands, electronics, cosmetics, and specialty stores. Rooftop and terrace areas offer views of the pagoda. It's a pleasant contrast to the traditional markets — a taste of modern urban Xi'an.
Joy City offers a wide range of restaurants and food courts, from local Shaanxi specialties (biangbiang noodles, roujiamo, and lamb paomo) to international cuisine. The rooftop restaurants provide memorable views of the illuminated pagoda at night.
Beyond shopping and dining, the complex includes a cinema and family entertainment options. In the evening, the surrounding Datang Everbright City area comes alive with lights, music, and cultural performances.
The mall is open daily from about 10:00 to 22:00. It's easily reached by metro (Line 3/4 to Big Wild Goose Pagoda station). Allow a couple of hours to shop and eat, or combine it with a visit to the pagoda and the Tang Dynasty music fountain show nearby.
