XI'AN, July 28 (Xinhua) -- Originally a granary site during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Xicang Market in Lianhu District of Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province now buzzes with life every Thursday and Sunday. The century-old bazaar has evolved into one of the city's largest grassroots secondhand trading hubs as well as a living emblem of the local folk culture.

Since 2024, the areas have undergone minor urban renewal efforts to help preserve the traditional market at its core while upgrading existing facilities to build the Xicang Urban Memories Park. This strategy allows youthful trends to coexist with the market's unique charm, injecting new vitality into the historic block.
