The "Datang West Market" project is a comprehensive commercial real estate project with commerce as the main line and silk road customs and culture as the characteristics, which is promoted by the Xi government's "Imperial Capital Revival Plan". The project covers an area of about 500 mu with a total investment of 3.5 billion yuan. It is the only project rebuilt on the original site in China, and it is also a three-level key construction project in Shaanxi Province, xi City and Lianhu District. In order to understand the specific situation of the project, the reporter visited Li Zhonghang, president of Schwab Industrial Group and executive deputy general manager of Datang Xishi Real Estate Co., Ltd.
People familiar with Li Zhonghang call him "Chief Aviation Officer". Here, let's take the liberty to call him that.
Reporter: What is your consideration for the commercial project of "Datang West Market" by tang style Tang Yun?
Chief Aviation Officer: There are two reasons. First, Xi is an ancient historical and cultural city with profound historical and cultural connotations. During the Tang Dynasty, there were two markets in Chang 'an: East Market (now around Xi Jiaotong University) and West Market (now near South Labor Road). The eastern market mainly serves a few people, such as dignitaries, while the western market is popular and civilian, with a large number of international markets, including businessmen from the western regions, Japan and South Korea. At that time, Xi Shi occupied an area of 1 0.6 million mu, and the building area was110,000 square meters. It has more than 220 industries and more than 40,000 fixed stores. Known as the "gold market", it was the largest commercial center in the world at that time. According to the investigation of authoritative organizations, it is also by far the largest commercial center in the world. There have been many historical anecdotes here, leaving behind a large number of Mo Bao, scholars and poets. For example, Li Bai's Youth Travel and Du Fu's Hundred Poems of Li Bai Fighting for Wine and Sleeping in Chang 'an Restaurant all mentioned or involved the western market.
Second, "Datang West Market" is the starting point and center of the Silk Road. We can imagine where a large number of merchants from the western regions trade the goods they bring. Where did China's silk and porcelain spread to the western regions? It can only be the western market, there is no doubt about it.

Reporter: What are the highlights of "Datang West Market" compared with other commercial projects?
Chief Aviation Officer: As an important cultural relic reconstruction project in Xi, the "Datang West City" project is a new product combining tourism and commerce and a tourist destination in the experience era. Change the traditional business model, endow business with more connotations by culture, combine culture and business perfectly, and combine cultural experience and tourism and leisure organically to create a compound and diversified business travel center and a world cultural exhibition and exchange center. By excavating the local customs along the Silk Road, this project reproduces the open, inclusive and inclusive spirit and mind of China in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in an all-round and multi-angle way, and revives the status of the great oriental country in international culture. Therefore, the "Datang West Market" project will become the most international commercial real estate carrier in Xi, the most exotic tourism and leisure place in the west, and the most oriental cultural experience center in China.
Reporter: Judging from the project of "Datang West Market", it is not only a commercial project, but also carries a certain revival complex of Xi 'an! Does it also reflect the courage of Schwab Industrial Group to participate in urban operation?
Chief Aviation Officer: Urban operation is not only the government's business, but also all enterprises, because it is the responsibility and mission of all enterprises. The government can only be the macro guidance of urban operation, and more enterprises are needed to build it. It can be said that enterprises play a very important role in urban operation. Therefore, Schwab Industrial Group has been adhering to the corporate philosophy of "developing enterprises and repaying society" for many years, and is committed to urban development and operation. "Datang West Market" shoulders the heavy responsibility of reviving urban culture and recreating the glorious history of Xi. Faced with such a grand, complex, profound and rich project, we are all "students". Therefore, actively participating in urban operation is a kind of courage of Schwab Industrial Group and a responsibility of our enterprise.
Reporter: What is the current progress of the "Datang West Market" project?
Aviation Chief: The casting of the project began in August this year. It is estimated that the first phase of the project will be completed before the 2008 Olympic Games, and it will be completed and put into production in 20 10. At present, about 300 mu of construction land in the first phase of the project has been basically demolished. In Xi 'an, especially in downtown area, it is rare to have such a large demolition area and such a fast demolition speed, which cannot be separated from the support of provincial, municipal and district leaders and the understanding and help of friends, citizens and relocated households from all walks of life.
Look at the ancient Qin figurines and go shopping in the western market.
Reporter: Please describe what tourists can enjoy in the built western market.
Aviation Chief: From east to west, the "Datang West Market" project is divided into three modules: imitation Tang architecture, ethnic customs architecture along the Silk Road and western European architecture. After the completion, Xi 'an International Tourist Souvenir Trading Center, Xicheng Museum, Antique City, Commercial Pedestrian Street, large-scale commercial headquarters, large-scale catering, snack city, top-class boutique exhibition centers in various countries, five-star hotels, modern business office buildings, etc. It is a large-scale comprehensive business travel and cultural city integrating tourism, leisure, shopping, catering, entertainment and cultural experience. So that people can deeply feel the vastness and glory of our history and culture while shopping and traveling. We believe that "Datang West Market" will definitely become the meeting room of Xi City and the super engine of Xi tourism. (
