years, many ceremonies and demonstrations have
been held here. Forbidden city (Gugong) the

enjoyed during the feudalistic dynasties as

architecture.

in classical Chinese style, housing tens of
thousands of precious cultural relics. Xi'an

a large collection of 113,000 historic and cultural
artefacts unearthed in Shaanxi. It is an absolute
must for every visitor to the city. The main
complex is a mixture of ancient palaces and
courtyard buildings, harmonious and graceful
in hue, in simple and elegant style.

province. It is a sight not to be missed by
any visitor to China. Upon ascending the throne
at the age of 13 (in 246 BC), Qin Shi Huang,
