Let me think about Xian prices: Bottled water: 3 yuan in downtown street vendors', 1~2 yuan in supermarkets, sometimes even lower than 1 yuan. Bottled beverages: 3 yuan in downtown street vendors', 2~3 yuan in supermarkets, sometimes higher than 3 yuan. Beer: 2~3 yuan, local beer. dvd on the street: 6~8 yuan.
