Episode 7: The City of Perpetual Peace, Part 1

Qin Shi Huang did what no one else had done. By uniting the warring kingdoms of China, he created an empire that would reach out across Asia, even opening trade directly with the mighty Roman and Parthian Empires in the west. The glory days of the Qin and Han Dynasties, however, are gone.

But not the Tang's. Over a thousand years ago, they were in a Golden Age that caused science, politics, trade, and religion to blossom in ways that had never been seen before. Join us as we explore their capital, the city of a million people, Chang'an, at the height of Tang China's wealth and power in 750 CE on episode 7 of There's a Time and a Place For That.
