Fire Rock

Primarily a bouldering gym. Also a top-roping wall near the escalators, which isn't used much (so bring your own harnesses, friction device, and belaying partner). Enter the stadium's outdoor equipment shopping mall at the east side of the stadium (entry F, up a wide staircase by the Nike store) and head down the escalators, then turn left to reach the bouldering gym. Easily accessed from the Tiyuchang (Shaanxi Stadium) metro station exit A (Line 2). 80 yuan (cash, exact change recommended) per session in May 2017. They have a supply of climbing shoes, but not necessarily all (especially large) sizes. Routes/challenges are defined by users rather than colours or markings, and there's good camaraderie among climbers (no language needed). There are also various workout equipments in addition to the bouldering wall. A translation app is recommended for those who don't speak Mandarin. There's wi-fi, with the code on a column near the entrance. Washrooms are on the upper level, to the left from entrance F. (-Ryan Matthews, visiting Xi'an for May 2017 from Montréal, Canada)
