Grand Tang Mall, also known as Datang Everbright City, is a large open-air shopping and entertainment complex built beside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Yanta District, combining retail with the area's well-known evening fountain and light shows in the adjoining North Square. The complex mixes domestic and international retail brands, restaurants and cafes across a pedestrian-friendly outdoor layout designed with Tang-dynasty architectural styling, distinguishing it visually from a standard enclosed shopping mall. Because it sits directly beside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, one of Xi'an's most-visited historic sites, it functions as a natural shopping and dining stop before or after a pagoda visit rather than a standalone shopping destination. The North Square's fountain and light shows run on a scheduled basis in the evening and draw large crowds, so shopping here is often combined with watching the show rather than treated as a separate errand. All shops operate on fixed retail pricing.
