Xian Shopping

The growth and development of Xian shopping is a marker of the economic progress of this ancient city. The city of Xian was known as Chang'an in ancient times. Literally translated this name means 'Perfect Peace.' At the zenith of its prosperity, the city of Xian equaled and actually excelled cities like Rome, Constantinople, and Baghdad, in its opulence and magnificence. The Silk Road that was a crucial point of trade between the East and the West, was established as early as the Han dynasty.

In modern times, Xian is not just a bustling center for BPOs and the software industry. It is, also, a flourishing commercial district. The shopping centers cater to tourists, and travelers. Shopping in Xian is defined by the malls that offer a memorable shopping experience. Among them, the Kai Yuan Shopping Mall, that is located in the heart of the city, is one of the largest shopping centers in Xian. The shopping mall sells a variety of goods at very reasonable prices. The Century Ginwa Shopping Mall, sells products marketed by major international brands like Burberry, Lancome and Estee Lauder. The Minsheng Department Store, the Parkson Shopping Center (it has a number of branches in the city), are very popular, too. The Lotus Supercenter, the IGA, and the Trust-mart are popular supermarkets.
