Venue

Xi'an, known as Chang'an in ancient times, is located in northwest China, in the middle of Guanzhong Plain, bordering Weihe River in the north and Qinling Mountains in the south. Since ancient times, Xi'an has enjoyed the reputation of "eight rivers around Chang'an". Xi'an was designated as a "World Historical City" by UNESCO in 1981. It is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation, and the starting point of the Silk Road. Thirteen dynasties built their capitals here in history, and it is one of the four ancient capitals of China and the four ancient capitals of the world. It is one of the capitals with the largest number of dynasties, longest and most influential in Chinese history.
