What I remember is the change from one stop to the next: different room, different smell, different crowd. The food stops was only one part of it. I would rather keep the pause at the food stops than add another stop.

What helped was simple: translation mattered as much as the cooking in Xi'an. We could ask the host ordinary questions instead of relying on a rehearsed demonstration.

Small tip: do not eat a large breakfast before the Xi'an tour. The portions at individual stops look modest, then suddenly you realise you have been tasting things for hours. The time around the food stops was not the part I would cut.

Looking back, I had a long list of things I thought I needed to see. After Xi'an, I was happier slowing down and noticing fewer things properly.

Worth doing for the food stops; worth remembering for the small stops in between.
