Situated in the distinctive landscape of northern China, Xi'an is among the great historic centers of the world―it is China's Luxor. This comprehensive guidebook leads the reader on a journey through the glorious ancient history of this urban center―from the early stirrings of Neolithic culture at nearby sites like Banpo, through Xi'an's rise to imperial capital in the Qin, Han, and Tang (among other) periods, to its vital modern role as an administrative center and investment portal to China's vast northwest frontier.
