Chang'an, which means eternal peace, was the capital of 13th dynasties. This land is infested with historic sites and cultural artifacts. This project aims to change the situation that there was ancient city wall but no ancient royal city. The project involves restoring the ancient historic street and preserving the artifacts. Once finished, the project will demonstrate a panorama of prosperous Tang Dynasty.
