Xian, the eternal city [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], records the great changes of the Chinese nation just like a living history book. Called Chang’an in ancient times。Xian is one of the birthplaces of the ancient civilization in the Yellow River Basin area of the country. During Xian’s 3,100 year development, 13 dynasties such as Western Zhou (11th century BC – 771 BC), Qin (221 BC – 206 BC), Western Han (206 BC – 24 AD) and Tang (618 – 907) placed their capitals here. So far, Xian enjoys equal fame with Athens, Cairo, and Rome as one of the four major ancient civilization capitals。Xian is the capital of Shaanxi province, located in the southern part of the Guanzhong Plain [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. With the Qinling Mountains to the south and the Weihe River to the north, it is in a favorable geographical location surrounded by water and hills. It has a semi-moist monsoon climate and there is a clear distinction between the four seasons. Except the colder winter, any season is relatively suitable for traveling.Praised as ‘the capital of table delicacies’, Xian has been rich in the delicious local snacks,such as liang pi ,Yang Rou Jia Mo(a soup dish that involves breaking theat flour flat bread into a bowl and adding a delicious mutton stoc),that has become the best local food for foreigners.The night life in Xian has a unique glamour. Traditional ways include enjoying the night scenery around the Bell Tower, taking part in a Tang Dynasty Dinner Show, strolling on the ancient Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square and watching the music fountain performance. More modern and fashionable ways include singing in the KTV, hanging out in a bar, or dancing in a Disco. All in all, any experience in this ancient city will bring you fun and possibly a little surprise!
