Xian, China

XIAN

sounds like Ceean

We were to fly to Xian to see the Terra Cotta warriers. This was our first flight on a domestic flight owned and operated by the Chinese government.

Xian was the capital of China twice during the Hon Dynasty.  Silk, porcelain tea, music, dancing and fine horses were introduced during this period.

During Tang Dynasty from 7th to 10th century, Xian grew to a population of one million, 30,000 foreigners, similar to New York or London. Like most important cities  in China it built a wall to protect itself from invasions.
