Try to imagine 1400 years ago in the glory days of Xian Tang Dynasty, Xian travel (then known as Changan) involved visiting a city which was 6 times bigger than Imperial Rome and 40 times larger than medieval London! This is why Xian tours are still a must do experience on any China travel

Being the world's largest city with over 1 million inhabitants, Changan housed those not only with scholastic and artistic talent but also leaders with immense political and religious clout. Not to mention wealth. To tour ancient Xi'an meant visitng the global centre of trade and commerce. As the start point of the Silk Road with the internationally renowned Western Market (recently reopened on the exact spot), Xian was a multicultural people magnet. This is where, long before Hong Kong and Dubai, A-listers of the time would tour Xian to shop, trade and ink deals. Marco Polo arrived on the scene six or seven hundred years later. Check out our Exclusive Tang Dynasty Xian Tours to get an unparalelled feel for the ancient times.

Testament to the epoch are the Big Wild Goose Pagoda which towers majestically 1.5 millenia later and the Daming Palace which was 5 times larger than Beijing's Forbidden City and is currently under reconstruction just north of the city walls. Xi'an, we can fairly easily conclude, is a city that has roots - as is becoming of one of the 4 ancient capitals of the world. The latest incarnation (today's Xian) was established in the 1300s under the Ming Dynasty who bequethed the city walls in their current guise together with the iconic Bell and Drum Towers which are the corner stone of any Xian travel.

These modern upstarts are at ease in the company of both a world class underground tomb from Han Changan (around the year 10) and China's first Emperor which is still guarded by 8000 Terracotta Soldiers a mere 2200 years after his death!

In modern Xian, education is prized with nearly a million students studying in over 100 universities at any one time, while new technological advances ensure the city also has a promising future. Recent projects include completion of the largest train station in Asia with bullet train connections to Beijing, Shanghai and other major cities, a nearly finished underground, and one of the largest Hi Tech/ IT service outsourcing zones in China. Xian also has world class aerospace and aviation industries which contributed significantly to the recent space excursions.

It could be said to be one of the most important dynasties in China's history as during this time China evolved into a rich and powerful country. It was perhaps the largest and most important country at the time.

The previous dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, which had reigned from 581 to 618, had left the country in a weakened condition due to the chaotic and tyrannical ruling of the Emperor Yang. His rule had been brought to an end, but it took a few years for China to recover before starting to gain rapidly in matters of commerce due to the increasing stability of the country.
