In 1956, Jiaotong University was relocated to Xi'an in accordance with
the national development plan, and its faculty,staff and the students daringly
echoed the call of the central government for moving westward from Shanghai to Xi'an,
an ancient capital city in Shannxi Province, to make great contributions selflessly to
develop the western region while with the overall situation of the country in mind.
Over the past 60 years, Xi'an Jiaotong University(XJTU)has made brilliant
achievements on this land. The recent completion of constructing "Western China Science
and Technology Innovation Harbour"(IHarbour), the IHarbour campus of XJTU,
is tantamount to the second westward relocation of Jiaotong University.
