Li Li, president of the Sino-American Culture and Arts Foundation, said “When Americans think of historic cities in China, most think of Shanghai or Beijing, but in fact, as the starting point of the ancient Silk Road more than 2,000 years ago, and the capital of China for more than 1,000 years, Xi’an is the historical center of China.
Li Liyan, cultural counsellor from the Consulate of the People’s Republic of China in New York, also spoke at the event, noting “Xi’an has a wealth of cultural assets and is a top destination in China for tourism.
By having the Xi’an Warrior Run in New York, we hope to demonstrate the uniqueness of Xi’an to the people here and generate interest for people to experience Xi’an.
