geographical position
Since ancient times, Xi 'an has been known as "Eight Rivers in Chang 'an". There are eight rivers such as Bahe River, Fenghe River, Chanhe River, Chanhe River, Weihe River, Luanhe River, Zaohe River and Jinghe River, as well as relatively large rivers such as Heihe River, Laohe River and Zero River, which are rich in water resources. Xi 'an's animal and plant resources include ginkgo biloba, vest, water tree, giant panda, golden monkey, black stork, golden rooster, blood pheasant and so on, all of which are relatively rare animals and plants.
Xi is located at the junction of two major economic zones in central and western China, so both roads and railways play an important role here, connecting north and south and connecting east and west. Xi is one of the best tourist destinations in China, which is rich in tourism resources, including the Mausoleum of the First Qin Dynasty, Terracotta Warriors, Wild Goose Pagoda, Daming Palace Site and Xi City Wall.
