Scenery of Xi’an
Xi'an is the capital of Shanxi province, and a
sub-provincial city in the People's Republic of
China. One of the oldest cities in China, with
more than 3,100 years of history, the city
was known as Chang'an before the Ming
Dynasty. Xi'an is one of the Four Great
Ancient Capitals of China, having held the
position under several of the most important
dynasties in Chinese history, including Zhou,
Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang. Xi'an is the eastern
terminus of the Silk Road and home to the
Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Since the 1990s, as part of the economic
revival of interior China especially for the
central and northwest regions, the city of
Xi'an has re-emerged as an important
cultural, industrial and educational centre of
the central-northwest region, with facilities for
research and development, national security
and China's space exploration program. It is
now one of the most populous built-up areas
in inland China with 7,168,005 inhabitants,
including urban parts of Xianyang (Weicheng
and Qindu districts).
