Uniquely Endowed Tourism Resources

As the birthplace of the Chinese nation and cradle of Chinese civilization, Shaanxi exudes a unique charm with its profound time-honored culture and gorgeous natural scenery.

Cultural Resources: Serving as the heartland of China during the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, Shaanxi preserves exceptionally abundant cultural heritage. It boasts world-renowned historical and cultural landmarks including the Terracotta Army, Huaqing Palace, the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and Famen Temple. In recent years, a host of landmark immersive cultural tourism projects have emerged, such as Datang Everbright City and The Longest Day in Chang'an Theme Block. A series of phenomenal live performances have gained nationwide fame, including the outdoor dance drama Song of Everlasting Sorrow and the epic immersive show Mighty Great Qin.
