[quote=SERENA07,238318]Xian is a popular destination when tourists come to China. Maybe you have seen the amazing historical sites, relics, attractions, or the natural scenic spots in and around Xian; however, do you know exactly the history of the city? Xian, known as Chang’an in ancient time, has been the capital city of China for over 1,000 years. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), it has become known to the world. At that time, Chang’an was nine times as large as today’s Xian city. As the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Chang’an then was the commercial and trade center in the world. It attracted a lot of merchants and travelers. At that time, Chang’an has two main markets – East Market and West Market. The West Market was the most important international market and the world fashion and entertainment center. However, the market disappeared as time pass by. Now the West Market is to be revived soon on its site. In the future, it will be a cultural, shopping, and entertainment center with its original appearance in the Tang Dynasty. Some people believe it will greatly refresh Xian’s tourism while some others oppose it because of the anxiety for unifying the practical functions of the project and the preservation of the tradition. What’s your opinion on this? Glad to here your voices. [/quote]
