As the provincial capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Xi'an, a city founded more than 3,100 years ago, served as the capital for 13 dynasties in Chinese history, including Tang (618-907), when the city was known as Chang'an. This is also the place where Zhang Qian began his journey to the Western regions via Central Asia during the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-AD 25) with his envoys. Zhang's pioneering expedition opened up a route that later became the Silk Road, which would go on to see flourishing interactions between China and Central Asia. Xi'an is rich in historical and cultural resources, such as the world-famous terracotta warriors and horses, the Bell and Drum towers, the ancient city wall and more. (Xinhua/Liu Xiao)
