Xi'an Vacation Guide
It is said that China is a huge towering tree. One can see the crown of the tree in Beijing but its deep hidden roots in Xian. Xian, one of the four ancient civilized capital cities in the world, is synonymous with Athens, Rome and Cairo. It is no exaggeration to say that the thousand years of the rise and fall of Chinese nation is all inscribed in Xian.
Xian is one of the earliest and most important cradles of Chinese culture. Our ape men ancestors had lived here in the early Prehistoric Times (1.7 million years ago-21st century BC). The remains of the Banpo Village are a typical indication of the prospering matriarchal community during that period.
Following that, as many as 13 dynasties had established their capital here, which lasted longer than 1,100 years in all. Xian had lived through its extremely peak time during the powerful dynasties of Zhou (11th Century BC-221 BC), Qin (221 BC-206 BC), Han (206 BC-220 AD) and Tang (618-907). It had been the political, economic and cultural centre of China. Even after the the Silk Road was opened, Xian, as the starting point, was also the centre of communication with foreign countries.
