Introduction Of Xi'an

Xi’an is situated on the Weihe Plain, in the middle reaches of the Yellow River in Northwest China, 108-110 degrees east longitude and 34.1 degrees north latitude. Xi’an is a traditional city with a very long history over 5000 years. Xi’an is also an international city opened to foreign tourists, famous for its historical remains, such as the City Wall and Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses, and also for its characteristic traditional folk artworks and flavorous food.
As one of the six ancient capitals in China, Xi’an served as the seat of 12 imperial capitals for 1,120 years after Chinese society had entered the civilized stage. Now as the capital of Shaanxi Province, Xi’an is the largest city in Northwest China with a population of 5.8 million, including 2.3 million in its urban districts. Such a history has made Xi’an a world-famous touristy city, a treasure house of cultural relics. The remains of past civilizations furnish evidence of every major epoch in China’s half a million history, making for a particularly illustrative textbook of Chinese culture. The history apparent in Xi’an is so ancient and continuous that the city has no parallel anywhere as a cultural site. Here one can visit the sites once inhabited by its primitive people; admire the bronze wares manufactured in the Bronze Age; wander through the bronze wares manufactured in the Bronze Age; wander through the city ruins of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties; imagine for oneself the clamour of the old Oriental metropolis; explore the imperial tombs of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, testimony to the pervasive power of the feudal ruling class; ramble in temples and pagoda courtyards, tracing vestiges of the Silk Road; and study stone inscriptions to appreciate Chinese calligraphy. Not least, Xi’an is the site of excavation of the vast army of terracotta warriors and horses from the tomb of China’s First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, from whom the country derives its name.
