Tianlong Vegetarian
Build a trip to Xi An
About
Tianlong is one of Xi'an's oldest and most popular vegetarian restaurants, located just a stone's throw from the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. It is famous for its 'imitation meat' dishes, where traditional Shaanxi favorites like 'Gourd Chicken' and 'Sweet and Sour Pork' are cleverly recreated using plant-based ingredients. The atmosphere is traditional and welcoming, often filled with Buddhist practitioners and health-conscious locals. Expert Recommendation: The 'Vegetarian Roast Duck' is exceptionally well-made with a crispy skin. Pro Tip: The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for the location; it’s a great family-friendly option for those avoiding meat.
