Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, sits in the heart of China’s Central Plain , cradled between the Qinling Mountains to the south and the Weihe River to the north . This strategic position made it a crossroads for ancient trade routes like the Silk Road. Often called the "Cradle of Chinese Civilization," Xi’an served as the capital for 13 dynasties, including the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang, leaving behind a legacy of imperial palaces, tombs, and cultural treasures .
