西安是聞名世界的歷史文化古城，它不僅是絲綢之路的起點，亦是十二朝古都。

從公元前十一世紀起，先後有周、秦、西漢、新、西晉、前趙、前秦、後秦、西魏、北周、隋、唐等
十二個王朝在此建都，歷時一千一百多年，堪稱東方文化的搖籃。

西安的名稱起於明代，但它的興起和發展由來已久，西周的豐鎬、秦的咸陽、西漢和唐的長安都是它的前身。
西安仍然保留了中國古代社會各個階段的文化史跡，極具研究和觀賞價值。

我們在西安兩日主要是作墓游，其中包括秦俑、唐乾陵及永泰公主墓。


Xian is the modern capital of Shaanxi Province.
Its fame today is based on its glorious past when Xian was known as Chang'an and was the imperial capital of China for 12 dynasties.

For more than 1,100 years Xian was one of the most sophisticated cities in the ancient world.
During the Western Han Dynasty (206BC-24AD) it became the starting point for the Silk Road.
Before the rise of maritime trade, merchants used the Silk Road to take Chinese products west to Central Asia and beyond
while traders from afar brought new goods and influences to China.

Xian's success led to developments in culture and architecture and it still has a wealth of historical treasures today.
