Only Mark could have "jacuzzi mutton" and have it be a completely normal video for him. 😂

Xi’an (formerly Chang’an), Luoyang, Nanjing and Beijing are collectively termed the “Four Great Ancient Chinese Capitals”. Xi’an and Luoyang are respectively capitals of 13 dynasties, including the golden ages Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD) and Tang Dynasty (618-907AD). Qin Dynasty first emperor Qin Shihuang who commissioned the Great Wall and the Terra Cotta Army also made its capital there. Han Dynasty Martial Emperor Han Wudi initiated the Silk Road there connecting trade with the Roman Empire. Han Dynasty is also the namesake of Hanzi (Kanji in Sino-Japanese and Hanja in Sino-Korean), Han Chinese (biggest ethnic group in the world) and Hanfu (prototype of other Sinospheric costumes like kimono and hanbok and viet phuc). Tang Dynasty saw Japan sending tons of kentoushi (envoys to the Tang Dynasty) copying the whole Tang culture back to Japan. Nara Period and Heian Period were its contemporary periods where most of the supposed “Japanese cultural elements” appeared in those two eras after the envoys wholesale copied the Tang culture back to Japan. Nara and Kyoto (formerly Heian-kyo) were built based on the layout of Chang’an (Xi’an). That’s why you see different dynastic elements in this ancient capital Xi’an, including the Qin Dynasty Terra Cotta Army, the Han Dynasty Silk Road, and Tang Dynasty elements like the Sleepless Great Tang, and the statue of Tang Xuanzang in the middle of the city square, who was a Tang Dynasty monk sent to get Buddhist scripts from India. One of the Four Great Chinese classics “Journey to the West” is a supernaturalized version of the historic journey of this Tang Dynasty monk Tang Xuanzang, adding supernatural elements like the Monkey King Sun Wukong (the prototype of the Dragon Ball character Son Goku adding the characters of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee). Tang Dynasty was also when the Muslims first moved to China after the founding of Islam, which was when Uyghurs first settled in Xinjiang (formerly Xiyu) that was conquered by Han Wudi centuries earlier during the Han Dynasty. You should also visit the Daming Palace Archaeological Park where the grandest palace ever built in ancient history was built by the Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. There is a documentary called “Daming Palace and Tang Dynasty” searchable on YouTube. The Pear Garden is another historical site where the royal concubine Yang Guifei (Yang Yuhuan was her name) used to make music and dances with her beloved emperor Li Longji. That’s why in Xi’an, you see the Qin Dynasty Terra Cotta Army, Tang Dynasty buildings like the Daming Palace Archaelogical Site, Great Wild Goose Pagoda, the statue of Tang Xuanzang, Pear Garden, etc, and Muslim street with halal food, because it’s the ancient capital of 13 dynasties. Enjoy your trip.
