Lintong

Lintong District is a district of Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, China. It lies to the eastern edge of Xi'an's urban area and encompasses both urban neighborhoods and large rural and mountainous regions. The district includes portions of the Qinling foothills and the Weihe River valley and contains several scenic and agricultural zones, including the Lishan region. The Yangling Demonstration Zone, China's national agricultural high-tech zone established in 1988, is located within Lintong and serves as a center for agricultural research and development.

A centerpiece of Lintong is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, where the Terracotta Army was buried with Qin Shi Huang. Discovered by farmers in 1974, the site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains one of the most significant archaeological and tourist destinations in China. The district balances tourism with agriculture, forestry, and light industry, and has benefited from investments in research and development through the Yangling zone.

Transportation and economy: Lintong is connected to Xi'an by expressways and local roads, and is accessible by public transit in combination with the wider Xi'an metropolitan network. Local governments promote preservation of the mausoleum and related sites while encouraging sustainable tourism and agricultural innovation.
