The city served as China’s capital city for 11 dynasties over 1,100 years, when it developed into the political, economic and cultural center of China and an international metropolis where Chinese and Western cultures met. Wenyilu Road (Arts and Literature Road) in central Xi’an has a long history of housing numerous cultural facilities throughout the centuries. There exist old Chinese opera houses, a theater for local performing arts, the house of a renowned theatrical troupe, a traditional performing arts school and so on.
