Venue

Xi’an area was inhabited by the Lantian Man at least 500,000 years before, and a Banpo Neolithic village was established here 6500 years ago. The city of Xi’an is one of the four great ancient capitals of China with more than 3100 years of history. Some of the most important dynasties in China set up their capitals here. The first emperor of the Qin dynasty unified China in 221 BC and he built the Terracotta Army and his mausoleum in Xi’an. Many of the original walls, towers, palaces and artifacts remain here. The conference will be located conveniently within Xi’an. After the conference, we intend to organize extra-conference activities for those who are interested in visiting some of the historical and interesting sites here.
