Study in Xian

Study in Xian with Study China. The city of Xian has more than 3000 years of history and has been the capital of some of the most important dynasties in the history of the "Middle Kingdom" including the Zhou, Han, Qin, Su, and the Tang dynasties.

During the 1990s, as part of the economic revival of central china especially for the central and northwest regions, Xian has re-emerged as an important cultural, industrial and educational center of the central-northwest region, with facilities for research and development, national security and China's space exploration program.

Xian is now the capital of Shaanxi province and has a favorable geographical location surrounded by water and hills without a clear distinction between the four seasons.

Today's Xian's Terracota Army represents the city's most well known attraction. The Museum of Terracota Warriors is considered to be one of the eight major miracles of the world. Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses are the most important archeological excavations of the previous century.

The City Wall of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) is the biggest and most intact Ming Dynasty city wall in China. Outside the city walls, the Famen Temple enjoys the status of being the 'forefather of pagodas and temples in Central Shaanxi,' because it contains the finger bones of Sakyamuni who was the founder of Buddhism in China.

The natural scenery around Xian is also marvelous Mt Huashan which is one of the five most famous mountains in China, is popular for its breath-taking cliffs and its exceptional characteristics. Furthermore there are a lot of shopping outlets for locals and tourists. Within the city walls are many big shopping centers, department stores and supermarkets making it convenient to live and study in Xian.

The night life in Xian has nothing to envy to other important Chinese capitals as Beijing as Shanghai. You can enjoy the night scenery around the Bell Tower, walk around the ancient Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square and watch the music fountain performance or more modern ways like singing in the KTV, hanging out in a bar, or dancing in a disco if deciding to live and study in Xian.
