The city of Xi’an (population 6 million) was the first city in China to open up its doors to the Ancient world, not in 1980 under the "Open Door" policy but in fact during the Tang dynasty when Xi’an blossomed as the first stop on the Silk Road China.

Over a period of more than 2000 years, Xi’an was the capital for eleven dynasties. Along with Rome and Constantinople, this Xi’an was a world leader in culture and trade and played a vital role in bridging the gap between east and west.
Aside from being a major tourist destination and historical city, today Xi’an is an important industrial and manufacturing center. Despite the incredible history that Xi’an carries, it is a modern and prosperous area. The nightlife here is pretty up to date and Xian’s Universities are considered to be the best in China. As a result, the city has a large student population who contribute to the cultural life of the city, making Xian one of the most pleasant cities in China and an ideal place to break the journey between Beijing and Shanghai.
