What people are saying:
Very very very very, I am from the city wall on the south gate of Yongning Gate in the evening, and I went to Yongxing Square. The whole journey is more than 20,000 steps, but the wind blowing this evening, feeling the ancient city breath. Instead, the more the mood is more pleasant, a person slowly walking, watching the sun slowly falling, really enjoy.

Introduction
Xi'an City Wall is a landmark of this ancient city. The city walls that we see now were built in the early years of the Ming dynasty and they are now more than 600 years old. The walls were built on the foundations of the imperial city of the Tang Dynasty and they are formed together with a series of defensive installments such as moats and turrets. At present, Xi’an City Wall can be accessed by many city gates. Visitors can choose the nearest one to them. The South Gate is the visitor entrance of Xi’an City and is also the city gate with more tourists. Cycling on the ancient walls is a good experience. Riding on the wall overlooking the ancient capital of the thirteenth dynasty, you will have a feeling of travelling through time.

There are bicycle rental services at each of the 4 gates; North, South, East and West, for you to rent and to return.

The views are ok, if you want to go for a full trip, it is recommended to take a battery car, one person down the circle for 80 yuan.
Amazing views and lots of fun! You can walk or ride a bike around the wall. Bike rentals are fairly cheap and I would recommend riding a bike as I really enjoyed it. There are some snack vendors, but it is fairly expensive, so if you plan on spending the day, you should pack some water at least. Great photo opportunities too!
we go at night. but spent time around the surroundings. to visit wall you need to pay 54 rmb. I have taken these images from outside.
Beautiful place to take a wake or ride a bike. I would have done the whole round of 13,74km if I hadn’t had my kids with me. Great place to see the old town and enjoy a walk.
This was a great surprise to know you can cycle on the wall. we loved this. It's a must see on your trip in Xi'an. this should take you 2 or 3 hours to go around. you have the bike for 3 hours.
I walked all the way around the Xi'An city walls. It's certainly a long walk, but away from the most touristy sections it's quite a peaceful walk. If you haven't got 4-5 hours a bike is a good choice to make a circumnavigation. Rent a cycle (mountain bike or tandem) at various points and drop it off at any other station. There are a few crowded spots where bikes aren't allowed but you can drop one off on side and pick up another the same on the other side.
