Xi'an, the eternal city, records the great changes of the Chinese nation ju

st like a living history book.

Called Chang'an in ancient times, Xian is one of the birthplaces of the a

ncient civilization in the YellowRiver Basin area of the country. During Xian's

3,100 year development, 13 dynasties such as Western Zhou (11th century B

C - 771 BC), Qin (221 BC - 206 BC), Western Han (206 BC - 24 AD) and Tan

g (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 capital

s.

Xi'an is the capital of Shaanxi province, located in the southern part of

the Guanzhong Plain. With the Qinling Mountains to the south and the Wei

he River to the north, it is in a favorable geographical location surrounded b

y 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.

The cultural and historical significance of the area, as well as the abunda

nt relics and sites, help Xi'an enjoy the laudatory title of 'Natural History Mu

seum'. The Museum of Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is praised as 'the eig

hth major miracle of the world', Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is lis

ted on the World Heritage List, and the City Wall of the Ming Dynasty (1368

- 1644) is the largest and most intact Ming Dynasty castle in the world. In

the city, there is the 3,000 year old Banpo Village Remains from the Neolithi

c Age (approximately from 8000 BC to 5000 BC), and the Forest of Stone St

eles that holds 3,000 stone steles of different periods from the Han Dynasty

to the Qing Dynasty.

Around Xi'an, the Famen Temple enjoys the reputation of being the 'fore

father of pagodas and temples in Central Shaanxi,' because it holds the fing

er bones of Sakyamuni -- the founder of Buddhism. The natural landscape ar

ound Xian is also marvelous n one of the five best-known mounta

ins in China, is famous for its breath-taking cliffs and its unique characteristi

cs.

oad (Er' huan Lu). The Bell Tower is the geographical center of Xi'an and the

four main streets are respectively Dong Dajie, Xi Dajie, Nan Dajie and Bei D

ajie which are also the main commercial streets. Xiao Zhai, the busiest comm

ercial area is in the southern part of the city and is popular with both youth

he still under construction Luoma Shi are must-visit pedestrian streets in the

city. Xian is also famous for its quantity of colleges throughout China. The ol

d campuses of many colleges and universities are massed in the southern su

西安，这座不朽的城市，如同一部鲜活的历史书，记录着中华民族的变迁。

西安，古称长安，处于人类发源地之一的黄河流域。在西安3100年的历史中，有13

个朝代曾在此建都，诸如西周（公元前11世纪-公元前771年）、秦（公元前221年-公元

前206年）、西汉（公元前206年-公元24年）和唐（公元618-907年）。迄今为止，西

安作为四大人类古代文明发源地之一，与雅典、开罗、罗马共享这一荣耀。

西安是陕西省的省会，坐落于关中平原的南部。南依秦岭，北临渭水，西安山水环绕，

有着的优越的地理位置。西安属半湿润季风气候，四季分明。除了较为寒冷的冬季，其他

季节都相对适宜旅行。

深厚的历史文化积淀和浩瀚的文物古迹遗存使西安享有“天然历史博物馆”的美称。

兵马俑博物馆被誉为“世界第八大奇迹”，秦始皇陵是最早列入世界遗产名录的中国遗迹，

明代（1368-1644）城墙是现今世界上规模最宏大保存最完整的城墙。这座城里，有从新

石器时代（约公元前8000年质公元前5000年）起3000年历史的半坡村落，碑林里坐落

着从汉代到清代的约3000座石碑。

西安周边，法门寺贡奉着佛教创始人——释迦摩尼的佛指舍利，享有“陕西关中佛塔

与寺庙之圣”之称。西安周围自然景观独具特色，五岳之一的华山以其峭拔险峻而著名。

传统意义上西安城是指城墙内的范围，现在这已被扩大到二环路内的区域。钟楼是西

安市的地理中心，也是四条主要商业大街——东大街、西大街、南大街、北大街——的中

心。小寨，是城南最繁华的商业区，由于多所高校位于此处，这里变成了年轻人和学生的

潮胜地。书院门和骡马市是市内必去的步行街。西安同样以高校的数量闻名全国。许多高

校的老校区集结在南郊，但近年来由于城市空间不足，大部分高校都在更远的南郊即长安

区建立了新校区。

随着西安旅游业的迅猛发展，酒店业的发展也不断兴旺。从五星级酒店到青年旅社，

在西安可以很方便地找到酒店。当然，由于优越的地理位置和便利的交通条件，住在市中

心是每个游客的第一选择。

西安被誉为“美食之都”，美食种类繁多，花样齐全：陕西小吃，细腻的粤菜，款式新

颖的各类外国美食，流行的川菜如火锅。其中，最有名的当属回民街小吃。

西安是中国西北最重要的城市，有许多给当地人和游客购物的商铺。西安城里和周边

有许多大型商场、百货公司及超市，其中最大最综合的是开元商城和世纪金花购物中心。

西安的夜生活独具魅力。传统方式包括享受钟楼周围的夜景，参加唐代夜宴，漫步在

古老的大雁塔广场，观看音乐喷泉表演；更时尚的方式包括在KTV唱歌，泡吧，或者在迪

斯科舞厅跳舞。总之，在这个古老的城市的任何经历总能给你带来乐趣，或者意外的小惊

喜！
