Xian served as China's capital for over ten dynasties. Its position right at the end of the Silk Road contributed to the city's development into a commercial center which lured merchants from all over the land. Xian today, is a modern city with all that modern cities entail: high rise buildings,
heavy traffic, shopping centers and fast food restaurants. In addition, Xian is home to more than 500 universities
and a magnet for enterprises due to the large pool of qualified labor. This makes Xian a key economic gateway to
the development of Western China.
