A Bowl of Cold Noodles, a Neighbourhood around It
Xita’s noodles make a useful beginning, but its households and cultural institutions keep the story from ending at the restaurant door.
Xita Neighbourhood
Xita lies in Heping District and is associated with Shenyang’s Korean-Chinese community. Its food businesses belong to a living urban district rather than a single national cuisine transplanted unchanged. The area also takes its name from a western Buddhist tower, an older layer of city geography distinct from its modern community history.
