The year 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the sister city relationship between China's Xi'an and Japan's Kyoto.

As the provincial capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Xi'an, a city founded more than 3,100 years ago, served as the capital for 13 dynasties in Chinese history, including Tang (618-907), when the city was known as Chang'an.

Deeply influenced by culture of Tang Dynasty, Kyoto, an ancient capital city in western Japan, is home to many historic sites and attracts worldwide visitors.
