Time-honored Shaanxi
Historically, the Chinese civilization originated from this beautiful and abundant land.

The Yellow Emperor went to Heaven with a divine dragon, leaving only his boot and sword. His people buries them on the Bridge Hill.

Yellow Emperor Remembered
Known as the most important ancient grave in China, the Huangdi Mausoleum has long been attractive to me.

Situated to the near north of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, Yan'an is also a "must see" for tourists to Shaanxi Province.

Several thousand years ago, there lived on the Central Plains several tribes. The most famous ones were the Yellow Emperor and Yandi's tribes, which were two brothers. Another strong tribe was the Jiuli tribe in Eastern China, with Chiyou as their chief. Chiyou had eighty-one brothers. They all had iron heads and arms as strong as copper. They also possess magic powers. Their weapon-making skills were also very advanced. As a result they often invaded other tribes.
