Life in Xi'an

Our college is based in Xi'an which is the capital of the Shaanxi Province. Xi'an is situated in the central part of Weihe Plain - with the Weihe River in the north and the Qinling Rangs in the south.

As one of China's seven ancient national capitals (it was originally known as Chang'an) Xi'an has a wealth of precious relics and historical sites. It has served as the capital of 12 dynasties over 1,000 years and more than 4,000 historical sites and tombs have been excavated whilst over 120,000 historical relics remain unearthed.

In ancient times Xi'an was the starting point of the Old Silk Road that extended from Asia to Europe and played an important role in cultural interflow between the East and West.

Today's city is smaller than the present Chinese Capital of Beijing and moves at a slower pace - trees lend colour to most streets and it retains an almost 'mystical' charm.

Due to the large number of Universities throughout Xi'an - teachers and students of all races and nationalities are welcomed - the people of China are amongst the friendliest in the world - people are keen to swap cultures and knowledge with the Western world.
