Abstract

The signage system is an important component of the information facility in the process of rebuilding the historic city's landscape. Furthermore, it is recognised as a significant medium for contact between members of the general public and tourists, particularly those from Asia. This study investigates the design of commercial signage systems based on the cultural history of Xi'an Midtown, as well as relevant literature and field visits to Xi'an Midtown. Finally, this study provides some insightful recommendations in the expectation that they would serve as a point of reference for the further development of the sign guiding system design in the Xi'an landscape renewal project.
