After the opening of the Silk Road, Chang 'an became the center of oriental civilization. History says that "there is Rome in the west and Chang 'an in the east". In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wendi and Emperor Wendi were named "Daxing Gong" by Zhou, so Xindu was named "Daxing City" and Chang 'an was also called "Daxing City" in the Sui Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the name of Chang 'an was restored. It was renamed "Fengyuan City" in Yuan Dynasty.
In the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1369), Fengyuan Road was changed to Xi 'anzhai in Ming Dynasty, which means "settle the northwest". Xi' an's name comes from this.

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located at the northern foot of Mount Li, about 5 kilometers east of Lintong County, Shaanxi Province. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit. 1987, UNESCO listed the Qin Mausoleum (including Terracotta Warriors and Horses) in the World Cultural Heritage Protection List. The mausoleum is huge and has been built for 37 years. It is divided into two cities, the inner city is square and the outer city is rectangular. The south of the cemetery is the burial area. This tomb is a quadrangular pyramid, with a length of 5 15 meters from north to south and a width of 485 meters from east to west. There are many treasures buried with him. Although the first imperial tomb is extremely valuable, it has not been excavated so far for various reasons, so now only a huge mound can be seen here, which is not very ornamental. 3. Huaqing Pool Huaqing Pool, also known as Huaqing Palace, is located in the east of An, at the northern foot of Mount Li, 30 kilometers away from the famous historical and cultural city An. Huaqingchi has been a tourist bathing resort since ancient times. During the period of 1997, the State Council announced Huaqing Palace site as the fourth batch of key cultural relics protection units in China. Huaqingchi's geographical location near Beijing, beautiful Lishan scenery and natural natural hot springs attracted emperors of all dynasties to build their capital in Shaanxi. Huaqing Palace was built in the sixth year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (AD 747), and Huaqing Pool was jointly built by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. Huaqingchi, known as "flowing with the sun and the moon, neither profit nor profit", is a tourist bathing resort. Mount Li is located in the south of Lintong County, Xi, and belongs to a branch of Qinling Mountain. The highest peak, Kowloon Peak, is 130 1.9 meters above sea level. The pine and cypress on the mountain are lush and look like a green horse from a distance, hence the name. Shaanxi History Museum is located in the northwest of the intersection of xiaozhai East Road and Cuihua Road in Xi 'an District, covering an area of about 70,000 square meters.

It is said that Tang Priest specialized in translating and collecting scriptures after his return from India (ancient Tianzhu). It is named Big Wild Goose Pagoda because it imitates the style of Indian Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Because a smaller Wild Goose Pagoda was later built in Jianfu Temple in Chang 'an, people called it Ci 'en Pagoda for the sake of distinction. Has been passed down to this day. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is square in plane and built on a platform about 45 meters square and 5 meters high. It has seven floors and the bottom is 25 meters above the ground. 7. Little Wild Goose Pagoda is located in Jianfu Temple, which is 1 km away from downtown Xi. Jianfu Temple was built in 684 AD to pray for Tang Gaozong's 100-day death.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda are two important symbols preserved in the ancient capital Chang 'an. The Little Wild Goose Pagoda is opposite to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the east and west. Because it is smaller than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it is called Little Wild Goose Pagoda. The word "small" is exquisite and elegant, but it is also small and stingy. It is far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in fame and momentum. 8.Xi 'an Beilin Museum is located in Sanxue Street, a famous ancient city in Xi 'an (hence its name).

5. My hometown-Xi 'an composition "My family lives on the loess high slope, and the strong wind blows in front of my house ..." Let you guess where my hometown is in Xi 'an.
That's right! My hometown is Xi 'an. Now let me introduce my hometown Xi 'an to you.
Xi 'an has the reputation of "the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties" in China. As an ancient capital, its ancient history and culture can be compared with Beijing.
Xi 'an, called Chang 'an in ancient times, was the capital of 13 emperors. The earliest emperor who built the capital here was Qin Shihuang. Xi 'an has many famous historical buildings, such as the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, Xi 'an Ancient City Wall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Temple and two Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pits.
There are two terracotta warriors and horses pits here, which were dug a few years ago.
Some of those terracotta warriors and horses were holding broadswords and staring at the front, as if they were going to rush to kill the enemy at any time. Some terracotta warriors and horses are staring into the distance, as if missing their relatives in their hometown. Others held flagpoles, as if commanding the army to kill the enemy. The first pit is as big as several basketball courts, and the second pit is as big as dozens of badminton courts. There are thousands of terracotta warriors and horses in it.
Xi 'an also has some tourist attractions. If you come to Xi, I recommend you to Huashan, which is "the best in the world". Huashan Mountain is not only called "the best in the world", but also called Xiyue, one of the five mountains! ! It's over. It's time to talk about food.
Xi has not only historical sites and tourist attractions, but also many flavors, special snacks and delicacies, such as mutton buns, Chinese hamburger, cold rice noodles, rice skin, minced meat noodles, oil-splashed noodles and so on. Among them, I like oil noodles and Chinese hamburger best, and my mother likes rice skin best.
Yes, Xi has its most famous features: the skins of jiaozi and jiaozi are all colored. Don't think that these things are made of pigments, but they are actually broken with vegetable juice and put into dumpling skins.
At this time, as long as you put it in your mouth, the tip of your tongue will smell of vegetables. In recent years, Xi 'an Anxin has built a scenic spot called Datang Furong Garden.
It was modeled after the royal garden of the emperor at that time in the Tang Dynasty. Every night is brightly lit, very beautiful and beautiful. Every time people put on clothes, decorate, sing and dance, it was in the Tang Dynasty.
The annual bar mitzvah will be held here. Today, I will stop here.
I hope you can come to Xi sometime. Thank you.

Dig three feet, and maybe even dig up a servant. It's amazing. .
