I imagine you are interested in the relative ease of the extension process in Xi'an. With a quick search I found mixed results:

  • An older blog post from 2010 claims it's relatively easy (at least compared to Beijing) and gives some instructions (see also the comments there for more or less recent changes to the process)
  • some posts in the LP forum as of 2014 instead make it look rather cumbersome, with a lot of time needed, and this travel report from the same year indicates similar.
  • Another report from 2013 suggests similarly that it takes on the order of ten days to process the visa extension.

Obviously, you will need to go to one of the Exit & Entry offices. An online search in Chinese gives the address of the Visa Office of the Exit & Entry Administration Division, Xi'an Municipal Public Security Bureau: 2 Keji Road (at the intersection with Taibai South Road), Yanta District, Xi'an. It is in the transportation police building, near the Taibai South Road (Taibai Nan Lu) subway station and the Xixie 7th Road (Xixie 7 Lu) bus station.

I am rather sure that other exit and entry offices only issues passports and border permits to Chinese citizens and don't deal with foreign citizens. It is suggested that you directly go to the office at Keji Road; that one for sure will deal with visa issues.
