Xianyang, Prefecture-level city in Shaanxi, China

Xianyang extends across 10,213 square kilometers of land in central Shaanxi province, positioned along the Wei River near the metropolitan region of Xi'an.

The city functioned as the capital of the Qin dynasty from 350 BC, housing administrative centers and grand palaces until its destruction by rebel leader Xiang Yu in 206 BC.

Archaeological excavations throughout Xianyang have revealed numerous Qin-era sites, including ancient workshops, imperial residences, and burial grounds that document early Chinese civilization.

The Xi'an Xianyang International Airport connects the region with major global destinations, serving as a primary transportation hub for central Shaanxi province.

Noble families from conquered states were required to relocate to Xianyang during the Qin dynasty, transforming the city into a concentrated center of political power.
