 Xian, the capital of Shaanxi Province, was named "Chang'an" during the Han Dynasty. The city's capital status lasted an amazing 1,608 years, making Xian an ancient city beyond compare. As a whole, Xian covers an area of 9,983 square kilometers and has a population of 5,860,000 people. Along with being a historically significant city, Xian is also regarded as the political, economic and cultural center in Northwest China. As the travel industry has developed, Xian has blossomed into one of the nation's key tourist cities, with tourism contributing to much of Shanxi's economy. Xian has an average temperature of 13 degrees centigrade and an average yearly precipitation of 604 mm. The rainy season mainly comes between July and September. The city also now has control of eight districts---Xincheng, Beilin, Lianhu, Yanta, Weiyang, Baqiao, Lintong and Yangling, and five counties---Chang'an, Lantian, Huxian, Zhouzhi and Gaoling. Xian lies in an ideal geographical position. With the Weihe Plains in the west, Tongguan in the west, the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Huangtu Plateau to the north, as well as abundant rivers running through the city, Xian is also a place for sightseeing and natural scenery, as well as farm produce.
