Live, Intern and Study Abroad in Xi’an

Home of the Terracotta Warriors

Xi’an is the capital city of Shaanxi Province, located in Chin’s northwestern region. It is one of the oldest cities in China with a history dating back more than 3000 years and is also one of the four Great Ancient Capitals of China.

Often regarded as the cradle of Chinese civilization, Xi’an’s history has seen many dynasties; it is the home of the terracotta army of Emperor Qin during the Qin Dynasty. More importantly, Xi’an is the starting point of the Silk Road, which was a crucial passage linking China to the West. Given the city’s place in China’s history, it is fitting that Xi’an is home to some of the country’s most important historical sites as well as a number of cultural and religious relics.

Since the early nineties, as part of China’s economic effort to boost the economy of the country’s interior regions, Xi’an has re-emerged as a cultural and industrial city which is profoundly influenced by education. The city holds great importance in the northwestern region. Xi’an is home to many excellent universities. The city’s important industries include manufacturing, tourism and service outsourcing, making it a good option for our Asia internship programme. Xi’an has been reported to be on the list of the 13 emerging megacities in China.

Xi’an welcomes tourists, business people, artists, and scholars wishing to study in China; there is something for everyone!
