"Xi an" Do you know where it is?

西安(Xi an) is one of the city of China. It is located in the middle of China and it's a old city like Kyoto in Japan.
 
There is a famous gate called 安定門. This is famous because it is the beginning of the Silk Road. Ancient Chinese people went to Europe countries from this gate. They brought silk to Europe so the road is called ' the Silk Road '. It takes 5 years to go to Rome and return. Few people could come back from Rome because it was very hard trip. So people who could do that could be rich. 安定門 is rebuilt in Tou dynasty it's about 700 years ago.
