Located in the main urban area of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, Qindu District is an important node of the Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration, named after the Qin Dynasty, which built its capital here, and carries a profound historical heritage. As the political, economic and cultural center of the Qin Dynasty, it was once the cradle of the empire with "six kings and four seas", and the existing national cultural relics such as the ruins of the Qin Xianyang Palace and the Afang Palace have witnessed the glorious course of the Qin's unification of China. The district has convenient transportation, adjacent to Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, with the Longhai Railway and Xibao Expressway running through it, forming the location advantage of "bearing the east and starting the west, connecting the north and the south".
