Archaeologists uncovered remains of settlements with defensive systems, water conservation facilities and a public cemetery that appeared to be a structure of a city dating back 5,500 years in Yangguan village in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi province.
Experts believed the findings date the establishment of Xi'an as a capital city 2,500 years earlier than previously thought.
