The Best Preseved City wall in China

#china #xiancitywall #urbanexplorer Xi’an in Shaanxi province is well known for the famous burial site of the first emperor of China, but you mustn’t miss it’s other treasures whilst staying there. The fortifications of the ancient city are some of the largest, oldest and best preserved in all of China. Dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties the wall encased an area of around 14 square kilometres - so get ready for some serious exercise! We hired bicycles on the top of the wall and spent the evening exploring the various structures atop it as well as the glittering views of the city. Once coming down, make sure to take the quick walk to the Drum tower (third photo) for another beautiful view.

HIDDEN GEMS - XI’AN

I’ve been here during December 2019, tryna catch the winter season and snowfall. Unlucky, i didn’t manage to stay until the first snowfall as I was there too early. Anyway, the trip somehow remains unforgettable. It’s a 2 weeks vacation. I supposed everything ws great. As a muslim, getting halal foods is one of the most crucial element while travelling. Surprisingly, it’s easy to manage as Xi’an kinda have a big number if muslim population. Weather were great, gorgeous scenery, lotsa history place to visit, safe to walk around. Except for the dry air and pollution forcing us to wear face mask all the time. However, If I am given another chance to return. I will.#mytripvlog #2023travelwish #Staycation

A City with a lot of Stone

Xi’an has a fair share of scenic spots to visit when you go but none more recommended than the City Wall. I stayed in the Ibis Hotel at Drum Tower so it was around 15 minutes to walk down to the city wall entrance. Most people opt to use a bike while on the wall as it’s a fascinating ride around the whole city. Tickets are purchased before you enter, and while it tells you to purchase beforehand, you can just use WeChat to buy as you get there. I was recommended to visit at dusk as you can see the wall and the view as the sunsets and I would equally recommend this time too. The wall isn’t as busy at this time as it’s typically dinner time for many Chinese and the suns heat is still there should you be visiting in the Summer like me. Along the wall, there are small shops and drinks areas but as you first enter, there is a lovely small cafe just to the left which has an interesting selection of drinks. #urbanexplorer #staycation #awesomepic #ancientcity #summervacation

Regarded as one of the largest ancient military defensive system in the world, it was built during the Ming Dynasty (1370). It has four main gates; East Gate (Changle Gate), West Gate (Anding Gate), South Gate (Yongning Gate), North Gate (Anyuan Gate). We went through the Yongning Gate as it is the most decorated one. Visitors are able to walk along the wall and enjoy its inner and outer walls, watchtowers, moat, and landscape from an elevated view. While we opted for cycling around the wall because the place was huge and we were all tired by the walking. we stayed until night to witness the lights on lanterns. we loved the place so much #xian #xiancitywall #china

📍Xi’an Xi’an city wall, also known as the fortifications of Xi’an, is the most complete city wall that has survived in China, also one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world. My tour guide, mr. Li, told me that Xi’an City Wall was 13,6 km. It had 4 gates, Changle Gate, Anding Gate, Yongning Gate, and Anyuan Gate. I was walking around, taking pictures and just sight-seeing. I didn’t want to ride the bike because it was too cold. I came from the south gate or Yongning Gate. Because not all the gates are opened for tourists.

When visiting Xi'an, one must surely make a trip to the Xi'an City Wall, right?

Upon visiting Xi'an, one cannot help but mention the Xi'an City Wall, the best-preserved ancient city wall in China, bar none. Built on the foundation of the Tang Dynasty imperial city, it was expanded in the early Ming Dynasty and has undergone numerous restorations during the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the post-establishment of the People's Republic of China. Today, it stands as a testament to over 600 years of history, exuding an aura of solemnity and grandeur. In fact, until the Republic of China era, the Xi'an City Wall served a crucial role in military defense. After the establishment of the People's Republic, the renovated wall regained its ancient charm and welcomed a new lease of life, becoming a popular tourist attraction for visitors from home and abroad to experience the ancient Chinese civilization. The main city wall of Xi'an has four gates: the South Gate, known as Yongning Gate, symbolizing eternal peace; the North Gate, known as Anyuan Gate, signifying peace in the distant Western Regions; the West Gate, known as Anding Gate, and the East Gate, known as Changle Gate, both representing harmony. These four gates are the original gates of the ancient city wall. Since the Republic of China era, for the convenience of entering and exiting the ancient city, several new gates have been opened, and to date, there are 18 gates on the Xi'an City Wall. It is recommended to ascend the city wall from the South Gate (also known as Yongning Gate). As ancient architecture often adheres to the principle of facing south, the South Gate is the most majestic and well-preserved gate, with its gatehouse, arrow tower, and main building all intact. On my visit to the Xi'an City Wall, I started from the North Gate as I was staying nearby. Renting a bicycle allowed me to freely explore the wall, although the uneven surface made the ride somewhat bumpy. A complete circuit of the wall took approximately two hours. 1⃣️How many entrances are there to the Xi'an City Wall? There are eight points of ascent to the Xi'an City Wall: East Gate (Changle Gate), South Gate (Yongning Gate), West Gate (Anding Gate), North Gate (Anyuan Gate), Peace Gate, Wenchang Gate, Hanguang Gate, and Shangde Gate. You can choose the nearest one to purchase a ticket and ascend the wall. 2⃣️Ticket price for the Xi'an City Wall: 54 yuan, half price for students 3⃣️Opening hours: Open all year round from 08:00 to 22:00 (ticket sales and entry stop at 22:00, the opening hours of the ascent points vary, so plan your itinerary accordingly) ✅Recommended routes: 📗Route One - East Line: Yongning Gate ➡ Wenchang Gate ➡ Peace Gate ➡ Jianguo Gate ➡ Changle Gate Start from Yongning Gate (South Gate), where most of the performances and activities on the Xi'an City Wall take place. It is also a popular spot for taking photos in Xi'an. Heading north, you can capture a great shot of the Bell Tower. 1. Wenchang Gate: The city wall at Wenchang Gate is home to the Kui Xing Tower. [Nearby attractions: Stele Forest] 2. Peace Gate: The Peace Gate is on the same north-south axis as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the train station. However, the distance is quite far, so the effect of photos taken with a mobile phone might be somewhat lacking. 3. Jianguo Gate: Jianguo Gate is the easternmost gate on the southern city wall. [Nearby attractions: Old Vegetable Market Cultural and Creative Block, Xi'an Incident Memorial] 4. Changle Gate: After passing the southeast corner of the city, you can reach Changle Gate. From here, you can also go to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. [Nearby attractions: Wangji Temple, Eight Immortals Temple, Yongxing Fang] —— 📗Route Two - West Line: Yongning Gate ➡ Zhuque Gate ➡ Hanguang Gate ➡ Southwest Corner ➡ Anding Gate ➡ Northwest Corner Ascent Point ➡ Guangren Temple 1. Descend from Anding Gate. [Nearby attractions: Moon Bridge, within walking distance to the Drum Tower and Bell Tower.] 2. There are many delicious foods inside Hanguang Gate, which is also the very popular Xiaonanmen Morning Market [In the afternoon, go to Sun Temple Gate, Xiangzi Temple] 3. If you descend from the Northwest Corner Ascent Point, you can go to Guangren Temple. —— #Xi'an

Xi'an Travel Guide

Just got back from Xi'an and have put together some travel advice for sisters who want to visit Xi'an to avoid pitfalls in advance~ Accommodation can be chosen at places one or two stations away from the Bell Tower and Drum Tower subway line, where the cost performance ratio will be higher~ You must book tickets for the Shaanxi History Museum three days in advance, as they are hard to get, and tickets are easier to obtain at six o'clock in the evening. The Bell Tower and Drum Tower look better at night, and it is not recommended to go up. There are special viewing areas on the fifth and sixth floors of the Kaiyuan Mall, where you can see the full view of the Bell Tower, which is more suitable for checking in. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Great Tang All Day Mall are extremely crowded at night, so if you don't like crowds, it's better not to go. The Terracotta Army is far from the downtown area of Xi'an, and it takes more than an hour by subway. It is recommended to allow enough time. The ticket price of 120 includes both the Terracotta Army and Lishan Garden. There is a free shuttle bus from the Terracotta Army to Lishan Garden, and once you get off at Lishan Garden, there is free commentary to follow, and the guides are really fascinating. The Muslim Street and Shajin Bridge are worth a visit, with cheap and delicious food. The Xi'an Museum and the Beilin Museum are worth a visit, and they will be less crowded.

A must-visit spot in Xi'an - the old vegetable market beneath the Ming City Wall

After having some free time during the holidays, I came across an introduction to the old vegetable market and decided to take a stroll on a whim. ⭐ Introduction to the old vegetable market: The old vegetable market was formed by transforming the Pingrong Factory, with continuous micro-updates and light renovations under the premise of retaining the original living conditions of the residents and preserving the market's local atmosphere. It has become the first cultural and artistic district in the market that not only carries the old city's stories and local life but also combines new tourism and various popular check-in spots. ⭐ Features of the old vegetable market: Visiting the old vegetable market, on one hand, you can experience the local market culture, where people live their authentic lives, with everything from daily necessities to farmers' markets. On the other hand, you can also feel the hustle and bustle of the modern city. Besides, right next to the old vegetable market is the entrance to the Ming Great Wall, where you can climb up for a distant view, presenting a different landscape. If you ask me what scenic spots or fun things are there, to be honest, I didn't feel it, but if you want to understand old Xi'an or experience art, take some photos, I think the old vegetable market is indeed a nice place
