Anciently named as Chang'an (Eternal Peace) and presently known as China's city of the dead, Xi An provides a rich historical and cultural backdrop in China, and was one of the Four Great China's Ancient Capitals.
The Western Peace, Xi An is presently the capital of Shaanxi Province, and was home to the ruling houses of the Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties.
Today it is difficult for one to believe that Xi An once challenged such cities as Rome for the title of the greatest city in the world and that for thousands of years this booming metropolis was unrivalled in Asia.
Xi An is, however, the world renowned Terracotta Warriors that pushes Xi An an essential part on the map to be unforgettably visited.
