亚洲城市的历史可以远溯到东方文明的发端,数千年来,在中国、印度、西亚以及许多其它地区。城市一直影响着各自地区文化的发展。作为个体,它们是强大帝国的中心,是宫廷、民用与军事设施以及文化机构的所在地,是重大宗教的圣地,是艺术与工艺中心。或是横跨整个欧亚大陆的水陆交通枢纽上的商埠。 The history of Asian cities can be traced back to the origins of Eastern civilization, for thousands of years in China, India, West Asia and many other regions. The city has always influenced the development of the culture in their respective regions. As individuals, they are the center of a powerful empire, where the courts, civilian and military facilities, and cultural institutions are located. They are the holiest sites of major religions and centers of arts and crafts. Or a trade port across the entire Eurasian land and water transport hub.
