Where is Xian?

Xian is located in central-northwest China, specifically in the southern part of Shaanxi province. It is roughly in the middle of the country, making it a vital hub for China's inland regions. To the east, it's roughly 1,200 kilometers away from Beijing, the capital of China, and around the same distance to the west from Chengdu. Xian is also notable for being the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, making it as a pivotal gateway for Silk Road travel.
