Xi'an
Ancient capital Xi'an is a noted historic and cultural city shining the light of ancient civilization and high technology.

Setting foot on this ancient ground, you can feel ancient customs and rhymes everywhere, which have been widely read by literati and people with literary reputation for thousands of years. This famous tourism city is created by the sediment of historical culture. Xi'an,a city that let people linger on with no thought of leaving has long enjoyed the good name of the“General History Museum”.

2.黃土地:直接翻譯成ground即可,不必直譯。
3.古風古韻:古風指“古代的風俗習慣”,古韻指“古代的音韻”,故可譯為 ancient customs and rhyme。該詞組所處句子缺少主語,在翻譯時需增譯主語。
