Shaanxi

Shaanxi spans across 205,000 square kilometers of land with three distinct geographical regions: the northern plateau, central valley, and southern mountains.

The province functioned as the capital region for thirteen imperial dynasties over 1,100 years, including the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang periods.

The Terracotta Army in Xi'an stands as one of the most significant archaeological discoveries, with thousands of clay warriors guarding Emperor Qin's tomb.

Modern Shaanxi maintains a strong industrial base centered in Xi'an, producing commercial aviation equipment and developing technology sectors across the region.

The northern part of Shaanxi contains deep loess deposits reaching 250 feet, creating a landscape of vertical cliffs and extensive ravine networks.
