Xi'an City, known as "Chang'an" and "Hojing" in ancient times, is the capital of Shaanxi Province. As a world-famous historical city, Xi'an is one of the capitals with the most dynasties and the greatest influence in Chinese history, with thirteen dynasties having their capitals here, and its status as the "ancient capital of thirteen dynasties" is unshakable. It is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and the eastern starting point of the ancient Silk Road, carrying a heavy and glorious national memory.

Xi'an is located in the center of China's geographical map, located in the Guanzhong Plain of "800 miles of Qinchuan". This fertile land, guarded by mountains and rivers, was not only a natural agricultural base, but also provided a solid strategic barrier for the establishment of ancient dynasties. Xi'an has a warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons, and the change of climate has also dyed this ancient capital with different historical colors.

The charm of Xi'an is the authenticity of touching history. Its central attraction is undoubtedly the Terracotta Warriors of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", a vast army that sleeps underground and shocks every visitor with its silent majesty. In addition, you can also ride on the Xi'an City Wall, the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China, overlooking the scenery of the ancient city and beyond; or climb the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to trace the footsteps of Master Xuanzang on his westward journey to learn scriptures; In the sound of morning bells and dusk drums, feel the pulse of the city of ancient Chang'an.

The profound historical accumulation has shaped the majestic cultural character of Xi'an. This character is also incorporated into the local cuisine, giving it its unique flavor. In the bustling Muslim Street, you can taste special snacks such as meat sandwich buns, mutton steamed buns, and cold skins, which combine the culinary characteristics of the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and are living fossils of Silk Road cultural exchanges. Different from the Lingxiu of southern cities, Xi'an's market life reveals a kind of simplicity and heroism.

As an important central city in western China, Xi'an has strong strength in science and education, national defense and high-tech industries, especially in the aerospace field. Today's Xi'an, relying on the "Belt and Road" initiative, is rejuvenating its vitality as a bridge connecting the Eurasian continent, so that this ancient capital city, which has witnessed the glory of thousands of years, will continue to write a new legend in the new era.
