UNIQUE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE, Yangtze River Cruise + Xi'an Ancient City Mt.Huashan
Xian, the eternal city, records the great changes of the Chinese nation just like a
living history book. Called Chang'an in ancient times, Xian is one of the birthplaces
of the ancient civilization in the Yellow River Basin area of the country. During
Xian's 3,100 year development, 13 dynasties such as Western Zhou (11th
century BC - 771 BC), Qin (221 BC - 206 BC), Western Han (206 BC - 24 AD) and
Tang (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 capitals.
Xian is the capital of Shaanxi province, located in the southern part of the
Guanzhong Plain. With the Qinling Mountains to the south and the Weihe River to
the north, it is in a favorable geographical location surrounded by 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 Xian, as well as the abundant relics
and sites, help Shaanxi enjoy the laudatory title of 'Natural History Museum'.
The Museum of Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is praised as 'the eighth major
miracle of the world', Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is listed 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. Around Xian, the Famen
Temple enjoys the reputation of being the 'forefather of pagodas and temples in
Central Shaanxi,' because it holds the finger bones of Sakyamuni -- the founder
of Buddhism. The natural landscape around Xian is also marvelous Mt.Huashan one
of the five best-known mountains in China, is famous for its breath-taking cliffs
and its unique characteristics.
The night life in Xian has a unique glamour. Traditional ways include enjoying
the night scenery around the Bell Tower, taking part in a Tang Dynasty Dinner
Show, strolling on the ancient Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square and watching the
music fountain performance. More modern and fashionable ways include singing
in the KTV, hanging out in a bar, or dancing in a Disco. All in all, any
