Along with Athens, Rome, and Cairo, Xi'an is one of the world's four great ancient cities. Xi'an was once the starting point of the Silk Road, which in ancient times facilitated trade across Eurasia. At night on the streets of this ancient capital, one can experience many of the city's unique characteristics. The ancient city walls, the statues located on the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Tang Palace, make one sense the life and soul of the ancient city of Xi'an. The heart of Xi'an seems to beat in time with your own. |
