Tips

culture

Chinese overseas communities still call themselves 唐人 (Tang people) and Chinatowns 唐人街 (Tang People's Street) — a lasting tribute to the dynasty whose capital Chang'an was the largest city on Earth at its peak (c. 1 million people), hosting Persian merchants, Japanese monks, and Tang's first female emperor Wu Zetian.
