Xi'an is one of China's seven ancient capitals, as it not only boasts a long history but was also the political center of various feudal dynasties in different periods. Located on the banks of the Wei River in Shaanxi Province, Xi'an has become a strategic and transportation hub connecting the northwest to the Central Plains due to the presence of the Qinling Mountains to the north and the Tong Pass to the east. Xi'an is also the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, from where Chinese silk goods were continuously exported to Central Asia, reaching the Mediterranean coast, and even Europe.
