Kaiyuan Mall

Kaiyuan Mall sits on Dong Dajie Street in Beilin District, one of Xi'an's longest-running central department stores and a mid-range alternative to the luxury retail found at SKP. The mall's brand mix leans toward accessible domestic and international fashion labels, cosmetics counters, and consumer electronics, catering to local shoppers rather than the tourist trade that dominates the nearby Muslim Quarter. Goods sold are authentic branded stock at fixed prices, with no bargaining culture inside the mall, distinguishing it clearly from the negotiable-price markets nearby. Payment is mostly by card or mobile apps such as WeChat Pay and Alipay, though cash is still accepted at most counters; a formal tax-refund scheme is not typically available at mid-range domestic department stores of this kind. The mall draws a steady local crowd on weekday evenings and weekends alike, with its rooftop food court offering casual Chinese dining and fast-food options as a break from browsing. Its central location on Dong Dajie makes it a convenient stop for visitors staying near the Bell Tower or Drum Tower rather than a standalone shopping destination.
