Qujiang New District was first created as a tourism district called Xi'an Qujiang Resort in 1993.[1][2] The site originally had an area of 15.88 square kilometres. It has been expanded to 47 square kilometres.[3] The resort became Qujiang New District ten years after its establishment.[1] It is now an economic centre with arts, luxury shopping, tourism and 5-star hotels (e.g. Westin, W Hotels in Xi'an).[1]
The district is home to a large number of tourism attractions and top businesses. It is also the most expensive area for residential properties in Xi'an.
