Ancient Capital Xi’an
Xi’an, also known variously as “Chang’an,” “Jingzhao,” and “Haojing” in ancient times, is the capital of Shaanxi province. Xi’an borders on the Wei River on the north and the Qin Mountains on the south. It sits at the center of China as the gateway and transport hub connecting eastern China with the northwestern and southwestern regions. Eight rivers converge on the city, hence the old saying: “eight rivers encircling Chang’an.”

西安是中華民族的發祥地?
西安,古稱長安、京兆、鎬京等,是陝西省省會。西安位於中國陸地版圖的中心,是東部通往西北和西南的門戶城市和重要交通樞紐。北瀕渭河,南依秦嶺,有八條河流在城市周圍穿行,古代有「八水繞長安」之說。
