How do ancient and rich historical sites and modern urban life coexist
harmoniously? On June 22, a number of international participants came together
to talk about and experience Xi'an, an ancient city at the "Workshop on
Understanding Xi'an for International Friends, A Journey of Discovering the
Beauty of Ancient City Xi'an". The event was hosted by the Information Office
of the People's Government of Xi'an and it took place at the Daming Palace
National Heritage Park in Xi'an, China.
Guests included representatives from world-famous ancient cities such as Nara
in Japan, Brussels in Belgium, and Pompeii in Italy, and they shared
information online about the protection and utilization of historical sites and
remains. Opportunities were provided to experience simulated archaeology, enjoy
some night riding, and participate in a workshop at the Daming Palace National
Heritage Park. Foreign visitors from more than 10 countries, international
students and young returnees who have lived in Xi'an for a long time took the
chance to see the beauty of bringing together ancient sites and modern life.
In the Daming Palace National Heritage Park, the participants delved into the
Tang Dynasty through a series of activities such as an immersive archaeology
experience enabled by 3D digital projection technology, and a night riding
tour. The only archaeological exploration experience center in Xi'an, the
Archaeological Exploration Center is in the Daming Palace National Heritage
Park, covering an area of about 4.23 hectares. It is a comprehensive cultural
place that focuses on the popularization of archaeological science. From
investigation to exploration, excavation and recording, the participants
experienced the whole archaeological process, appreciated the beauty of Tang
Dynasty architecture, and became familiar with the efforts made by Xi'an to
protect ancient sites.
During the workshop, Xi'an, Nara, Pompeii, and Brussels, four of the
world-class ancient cities, joined together in an online video conference where
participants shared numerous stories about historical sites and modern life and
how young people creatively protect ancient cities. With the help of 5G and
holographic projection technologies, the event invited guests to connect
remotely to tell their own stories about historical sites. "I felt like I
traveled back several thousand years in one night. The event allowed me to
really feel the amazing historical civilization and charm of the historical
sites in Xi'an," said Mehad Mousa, an Egyptian PhD student in literature
translation from Northwest University.
With diversified monthly immersive city experiences and other activities, the
Studying Xi'an campaign aims to allow people from abroad living in Xi'an to
delve into the charm of Xi'an and to feel the authenticity, openness, and
inclusiveness of Xi'an.
