Shaanxi is located in the very heart of China. Boasting a population
of more than 36 million in an area of over 200,000 square kilometers
(about 77,225 square miles), Shaanxi includes most of the middle stretch
of the Yellow River. It borders Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei,
Sichuan, Gansu and Ningxia. Shaanxi is a cherished land full of
historical traces in China and also the dawning place of the world
civilization.
It was Yellow Emperor, the founder of the Chinese nation who
settled down as native in Shaanxi. Thirteen dynasties had had their
capital city establised here successively since the eleventh century B.
C., lasting more than one thousand years. Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang
dynasties ever prospered here contributing to the most splendid chapters
in Chinese history while nuturing the boundless Qin culture and ancient
customs and folklore for the people today to appreciate and interpret.
Shaanxi has been well known as the natural historical museum and
its numerous cultural relics such as Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses,
Huaqing Hot Spring, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Famen Temple, Qianling
Mausoleum, Forest of Steles Museum and City Wall offer many touching
stories; the majestic and picturesque mountains and rivers like Qinling
Mountains, Huashan Mountain, Taibai Mountain and Hukou Waterfall of the
Yellow River have turned out to be new attractions of scenic spots; the
scenery beyond the Great Wall, the custom of Loess Plateau, the autumn
scene on plains and the charms of South China customs have become well
integrated into a whole, and the folklore and customs today are still
inheriting the style and customs from Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties
to feature the unique straightforward and dynamic personality of the
northern people.
Shaanxi, with its glorious history, is not only possessing the
splendid and long-standing civilization, but also making great
advancement today: the natural reserve for rare animals, the
demonstration zone for modern agriculture, the Hi-Tech Development Zone.
Dedicated to the ecological reconstruction through the development of
the fruit industry to reinvent the beautiful land, Shaanxi takes good
care of the presents from the Nature and keeps pace with the trend of
science and technology while maintaining an open-minded and enterprising
gesture.
Being the starting point of the ancient Silk Road and the famous
capital of ancient dynasties, Shaanxi has now 51 travel agencies engaged
in international travel services, 300 star-rated hotels (5 five-star
hotels, 24 four-star hotels and 135 three-star hotels) offering services
by international standard to meet the needs of both Chinese and foreign
tourists. The international flights here lead to such countries and
regions as Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau; while
the domestic flights and railways reach the main cities all over China
and the highways extend in all directions. Well established
infrastructure and convenient transportation have enabled Shaanxi to be
