in travel •  7 years ago 

Hi Steemit friends.

We are in Xi An. It was the Capital of China during the imperial period few thousand years ago. It is also where the silk road starts. It was called 'Chang An', you may have heard if you play the computer game ' Three Kingdoms'

This is the Bell Tower in the middle of the city

Amazing night view, 13 dynasty with rich history, what a great place to visit!

Thank you emilymichelle. I love a place with a lot of history

It looks so awesome at night and your phone camera takes good night photos.

Thank you azfix, yes the other phones are only food for day time, this samsung is really good at night too

I have heard so much about the Silk Road and opening trade again with Europe. China has a huge advantage and now with cost efficient transportation, they will only grow and get stronger IMHO.

Thank you floridanow. Yes China has made a lot of improvements since my 1st visit. Transport is very cheap too

China is indeed the capital of Beijing that I am beautiful, especially when we see it at night, so many colorful lights decorate the historic buildings in that place.

Thank you amuchtar. Xi An is the old capital. Now its Beijing. So Xi An has a lot of traditional buildings

your welcome, @djohan 😊

That is a beautiful building! Chinese cities always seem so perfect right in the city center. In US cities there would be trash all over the place and hobos :-D Also I don't see any street performers in China either...

Thank you hotsauceislethal. That building is similar to Namdaemun in Korea but this one seems bigger with more lights. There are many cleaners working to clean the streets so there is no trash almost

I prefer how it looks at night so strong and beautiful. Regards

Thank you dim753. Yes it is very bright at night. All the historic places have lights on them. Maybe best to visit each twice if we have time

A very nice city I really wish to visit
A city with a history but its new construction made it amazing

@djohan sir...
Such a wonderful and interesting photography collection...
Xi’an is a large city and capital of Shaanxi Province in central China. Once known as Chang’an (Eternal Peace), it marks the Silk Road’s eastern end and was home to the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties' ruling houses. At archaeological sites in Xi’an’s surrounding plains are the famed Bingmayong (Terra Cotta Army), thousands of life-size, hand-molded figures buried with China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang...
Cheers~~~

XI is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation and eastern civilization. Xian has a history of over 6000 years and had been the capital of countries for 1200 years. There have been 13 dynasties set Xian as their capitals. Since the Western Han Dynasty, Xi'an has become the key city of economic and cultural exchanges and friendly relationships between China and other countries.

The Chinese architecture is one of those things I like about China. Term beautiful and artistically designed with lots of shiny and brightly coloured everything. While we are reserved with the colour combinations over here, our friends in the east just allow the colour play to flow.
