3D light show entertains visitors to ancient capital

​A spectacular light show on Thursday night caught the attention of visitors to a shopping mall in Xi'an. The 3D light show provided spectators with illuminated scenes of the ancient city. Xi'an is one of China's great historical cities, having served as the capital of several dynasties. Considered to be the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, the city is the home of the Terracotta Army created by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. The light show was timed to welcome the start of the coming Chinese Lunar New Year and Spring Festival holiday. [Photo: China Plus/Wang Haidong, Wu Anbiao]
