西安在八百里秦川中部，南依秦岭，北临渭河，其地势东南高、西北低，市区有多条河流，自古就有“八水绕长安”的美称。
Xi'an is located in the middle of the 800-li (half a kilometer in Chinese) Qinchuan (old name for what are now Shaanxi and Gansu provinces). It is bordered on the south by the Qinling Moutains, and on the north by the Weihe River, with a terrain sloping from the southeast to the northwest. There are many rivers in the city. Since ancient times, it is celebrated for "eight rivers flowing around Chang'an (the old name for Xi'an in ancient times)".

西安古称长安，距今已有3000多年的历史，自西周时起直到唐代，先后有12个王朝在这里建都，历经2000余年。汉唐两代更是西安的鼎盛时期，汉代的长安城相当于古罗马城的3倍，唐代的长安城则为汉长安城的2.4倍，面积达84.1平方千米，人口达百万以上，是当时世界上规模最大最繁华的城市。

Chang'an in the Tang Dyansty was the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the world, measuring 84.1 km2, 2.4 times the size of the Han Chang'an, with over one million residents.

It was built at the suggestion of the eminent monk, Xuanzang (602-663 AD, Buddhist scholar, translator and traveler in Tang Dynasty) after he returned from India, to house Buddhist scriptures. The original Big Wild Goose Pagoda had five storeys. When Wu Zetian (the only empress in Chinese history) came to the throne, it was expanded to 10 storeys.
