In terms of cultural and tourism attractions, the city of Chang'an is home to many famous monuments, such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and the Huaqing Palace. These attractions not only attract a large number of tourists, but also provide painters with rich creative materials. Painters use these monuments as the background to create a number of paintings with historical and cultural connotations, becoming a model of cultural and tourism integration.
