Day 2 Day 3 Day 1
Xi’AN Back to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty Location of Xi’an Xi’an is known as Chang’an in ancient times. Having served as the capital of thirteen dynasties, this city is one of the most important places to study and review the history of China. The Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of China’s history, a period marked by great urbanism and cultural magnificence. As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Xi’an was the centre of Eastern civilisation. Its importance was comparable to that of Rome in the West. Xi’an’s Tang Dynasty monuments are the most famous of all, and beyond that, the city is committed to recreating the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, in Xi’an, it is no longer an unattainable dream to travel back in time to the Tang Dynasty. What’s hot Shaanxi History Museum The Shaanxi History Museum is one of the four major museums in China. Its extensive collection of artefacts showcase 1.5 million years of Shaanxi’s history. The third gallery features the culture of the Tang Dynasty as well as artefacts from both the Sui and Tang Dynasties, while the fourth gallery displays a collection of gold and silver artefacts from the Tang Dynasty unearthed in Hejiacun Village. The “Treasure of the Museum”—Agate Cup with Beast’s Head Carving is a superbly crafted jade carving with chic colour. One can also visit the Treasures Gallery and the Tang Dynasty Mural Treasures Gallery of the museum. 91 Xiaozhai East Road, Xiaozhai Commercial Street, Yanta District, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, China Take Xi’an Metro Line 1 or 2 and get off at Xiaozhai Station, the museum will be reach from north-east exit. -

Quantifying Urban Vegetation Coverage Change with a Linear Spectral Mixing Model: a Case Study in Xi’An, China
DOI: 10.2478/eces-2021-0008 ECOL CHEM ENG S. 2021;28(1):87-100 Xuan ZHAO 1 and Jianjun LIU 1* QUANTIFYING URBAN VEGETATION COVERAGE CHANGE WITH A LINEAR SPECTRAL MIXING MODEL: A CASE STUDY IN XI’AN, CHINA Abstract: With the rapid development of urban area of Xi’an in recent years, the contradiction between ecological environmental protection and urban development has become prominent. The traditional remote sensing classification method has been unable to meet the accuracy requirements of urban vegetation monitoring. Therefore, how to quickly and accurately conduct dynamic monitoring of urban vegetation based on the spectral component characteristics of vegetation is urgent. This study used the data of Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI in 2011, 2014 and 2017 as main information source and LSMM, region of variation grid analysis and other methods to analyse the law of spatial-temporal change of vegetation components in Xi’an urban area and its influencing factors. The result shows that: (1) The average vegetation coverage of the study area from 2011 to 2017 reached more than 50 %, meeting the standard of National Garden City (great than 40 %). The overall vegetation coverage grade was high, but it had a decreasing trend during this period. (2) The vegetation in urban area of Xi’an experienced a significant change. From 2011 to 2017, only 30 % of the low-covered vegetation, 24.39 % of the medium-covered vegetation and 20.15 % of the high-covered vegetation remained unchanged, while the vegetation in the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast of the edge of the city’s third ring changed significantly. -

Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 72 International Conference on Management, Education and Social Science (ICMESS 2017) Studies on Spatial Structure of Tourist Attractions in Edge-Typed Tourism City -A Case Study of Ankang Ma Teng; Wang Xing; Tang Beipei; Zhang Baigang; Rui Yang* College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Northwest University Xi’an710127, China Abstract—Taking Ankang as a typical case of edge-typed However, it should be noted that the "edge" of Ankang is more tourism city, we analyze the compactness, agglomeration, due to the comparison to its corresponding strong core tourist differentiation characteristics of its class-A tourist attractions city—Xi'an, its tourist location, resources, market isn’t spatial structures and explore the spatial path out of the edge of absolutely "non-superiority”. Especially with the building of the plight for edge-typed tourism city, basing on the spatial large Qinling Mountain humanistic eco-tourism holiday circle, statistical and mathematical methods such as compactness index, Ankang tourism development has entered to the new stage of coefficient of variation, scale index, unevenness index and core tourist attractions construction drive and global tourism superiority index. The results indicated that: ①The degree of pattern conformation, it is possible to grow into a new core compactness and unevenness of Ankang class-A tourist tourist destination. attractions spatial distribution are high. Spatial clustering is significant. ② Differentiation characteristics in number, size, Based on that, this paper takes the Ankang class-A tourist quality and influence of the Ankang class-A tourist attractions attractions as research object, using compactness index, are different, but Hanbin District and Shiquan County have coefficient of variation and unevenness index to identify the shown a clear advantage in all aspects. -

Han River is the water source region of the middle route of South-to-North Water Diversion in China and the ecological projects were implemented since many years ago. In order to monitor the change of vegetation in Han River and evaluate the effect of ecological projects, it is needed to reveal the spatial-temporal change of the vegetation in the upper reach of Han River quantitatively. The study is based on MODIS/Terra NDVI remote sensing data, and analyzes the spatial-temporal changes of the NDVI in August from 2000 to 2016 at pixel scale in the upper reach of Han River Basin. -
Multi-Disciplinary Determination of the Rural/Urban Boundary: a Case Study in Xi’An, China
sustainability Article Multi-Disciplinary Determination of the Rural/Urban Boundary: A Case Study in Xi’an, China Lei Fang 1,2 and Yingjie Wang 1,2,* 1 State Key Lab of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 11A Datun Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] 2 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, 19A Yuquan Road, Shijingshan District, Beijing 100049, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-010-6488-9077 Received: 19 June 2018; Accepted: 23 July 2018; Published: 26 July 2018 Abstract: Rapid urbanization in China has blurred the boundaries between rural and urban areas in both geographic and conceptual terms. Accurately identifying this boundary in a given area is an important prerequisite for studies of these areas, but previous research has used fairly simplistic factors to distinguish the two areas (such as population density). In this study, we built a model combining multi-layer conditions and cumulative percentage methods based on five indicators linking spatial, economic, and demographic factors to produce a more comprehensive and quantitative method for identifying rural and urban areas. Using Xi’an, China as a case study, our methods produced a more accurate determination of the rural-urban divide when compared to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China. Specifically, the urbanization level was 3.24% lower in the new model, with a total urban area that was 621.87 km2 lower. These results were checked by field survey and satellite imagery for accuracy.
