First, introduce the urban development history of Xi’an, in order to better understand the value and importance of its historical and cultural heritage. Subsequently, through the detailed analysis of the protection of the historical and cultural heritage of Xi’an in Xi’ an, the current existing problems and challenges are revealed. On this basis, a series of improvement strategies are proposed, including strengthening laws and regulations, strengthening cooperation and stakeholder participation, implementation of sustainable tourism management, promotion of education and public awareness, and application of innovative technologies in heritage protection. Through further research on the current status of urban historical and cultural heritage in Xi’an, this paper aims to provide experience and inspiration for the protection and inheritance of urban historical and cultural heritage in China. Only through effective protection and inheritance, we can integrate China’s historical and cultural heritage into the development of modern cities, and add unique charm to the city, while retaining precious historical memories and leaving precious wealth for future generations.
