Xi'an |
|
|
|
Xi'an, located in central China, is one of the country’s oldest and most
historically significant cities. It is the capital of Shaanxi Province
and has served as the capital for several ancient Chinese dynasties,
including the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties. Known as the "Eastern
Terminus of the Silk Road," Xi'an has played a crucial role in
connecting China to the rest of the world, particularly during the peak
of the ancient trade route that spanned from China to Europe and the
Middle East. |
