Defu Alley is to Xi’an what Sanlitun is to Beijing. Located in close proximity to the Xi’an City Wall’s South Gate, this precinct is discernible by the narrow bluestone paving of the street where you’ll find some of Xi’an’s trendiest cafes, bars, teahouses and restaurants. Having gained a reputation as the place for local Xi’anese to enjoy their first cafe or bar experience, we think you’ll understand why when you make a night of it here too.
