Chang 'an City's market system was strict. The residential area and the market were separated and surrounded by walls. This system promoted the prosperity of commerce in Chang 'an and attracted merchants from the Western Regions and other countries. In general, the 108th District of Chang 'an City played an important role in urban planning, residential and commercial development.
