XI’an
Brilliance of thousand years endows Xian with enchanting temperament. The
continuous history of the ancient civilized capital has apparently resulted in
its magnificent culture. Today's Xian is a world famous tourist city and an
inexhaustible treasure house of cultural relics. Now heads of state from many
countries and people from all walks of life come to the city to broaden their
knowledge of Chinese civilization.
For 1,000 years, the city was the capital for 13 dynasties, and a total
of 73 emperors ruled here. Xi'an is the undisputed root of Chinese
civilization having served as the capital city for the Zhou, Qin, Han,
and Tang dynasties. With so much history within the ground the city lies
upon, it is no wonder that there are so many historical ruins, museums,
and cultural relics to be found here.
The
International Horticultural Expo 2011
will be held in
Xi'an
in 2011. It will be another grand international gathering hosted by China after
the Beijing 2008 Olympics and Expo 2010 Shanghai, as well as an important
opportunity to showcase green civilization and promote the nation's image.
Upon the approval of the International Association of Horticultural
Producers (AIPH) and the State Council, the International Horticultural
Exposition 2011
Xi'an will be held
in the Chan-Ba Ecological District,
Xi'an
from April 28th to

Trade and the China Flower Association. It is also co-sponsored by the Xi'an
Municipal People's Government. At

participation in the event, which is expected to attract 12 million visitors.
Top Attraction
Terra
Cotta Warriors and Horses - At the mention of the great number of Xian
attractions, terracotta soldiers always come as the first. The great archeologically
excavation of Qin (221BC-206BC) Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses unfolded a
strong army of altogether 7,000 life-size pottery soldiers, horses, chariots
and weapons arranged in battle formations symbolically, guarding the tomb of Emperor
Qin Shi Huang. The grand Mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin and the
warriors and horses buried in loess for over 2,000 years amaze every visitor
there. However, there are far more spots worthwhile exploring.
City
Wall - Adorned with a moat and the circular park, the wall surrounds the
square inner city of Xian. It is the most complete city wall to survive in
China,
as well being one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the
world, built first in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and renovated in
recent years.
