Hey there! Ready to journey back in time? Chang'an, the dazzling capital of the Tang Dynasty, was one of the largest and most prosperous international metropolises of its era. Its layout was meticulously planned—imagine a vast chessboard divided into 108 wards with bustling markets—showcasing imperial authority and innovative urban design.
But Chang'an was more than stunning architecture; it was a vibrant melting pot where Eastern and Western cultures met and mingled. Its legacy of thoughtful planning continues to inspire urban innovation in modern cities across South and Southeast Asia. History truly fuels today’s creativity! 🌟🏛️
