The Tang Dynasty West Market Museum is a privately-run museum in Xi'an and is situated on the original site of the 1000-year-old Chang'an City Tang Dynasty market. With an exhibition area of 8000 square meters, the museum houses numerous cultural relics excavated from the ancient market site, reflecting the booming trade with foreign countries during the Tang Dynasty, and the development of the Silk Road. Among its exhibits are invaluable bronze wares, silk products and ancient coins. [China.org.cn/ by Yuan Fang]
