Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi Province with a 3,000-year history, was known as Chang's in ancient times. For 1,062 years the city had been capital for 13 dynasties, and a total of 73 emperors had ruled China there. That is why the land of the city is pockmarked with cultural relics and historical ruins. The mausoleum of Qinshihuang and his mighty army of terracotta warriors and horses are world-famous attractions. The other scenes and sights include Banpo Village Ruins, Greater and Lesser Wild-Goose Pagodas, Bell tower and Drum Tower, City Wall, Xingjiao Temple, Famen Temple, Shaanxi History Museum, Xi'an Stele Forest, and Grand Mosque. The celebrated Silk Road began in Xi'an.
