Xi'an

About Xi'an

Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province in Northwest China, is one of the oldest cities in China and a former capital of multiple Chinese dynasties. With a history dating back over 3,100 years, Xi'an is a city steeped in history and culture.

As the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xi'an was once a major hub for trade and cultural exchange between China and the West. The city is most famous for the Terracotta Army, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features thousands of life-sized clay soldiers and horses built to protect Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife.

Xi'an offers a unique blend of ancient history and modern development, with historical sites like the City Wall, Muslim Quarter, and Big Wild Goose Pagoda alongside modern skyscrapers and shopping malls. The city experiences a semi-arid climate with hot summers and cold winters.
