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.

[Under the stars in the music city]
2019 Xi'an City Wall Music Festival,
8233 to 824
in Xi'an City Wall ,
shows the world the romantic starry sky
rhythm of the sound of the Huazhang.
Listening to music under the stars,
Feel the culture of the ancient city millennium.
The most impressive thing about me is the open-air movie ,
everyone sitting around, watching the movie,
talking to the ground, it feels like returning to childhood,
people are extremely missed!!
there is a transparent tent , lying inside,
look up at the stars, say goodbye to the city's hustle,
mood are quiet, calm and comfortable!

The sun took the last trace of afterglow, and we are still struggling to ride. At this time, the Xi'an Hua Deng was at the beginning, and history and modernity were intertwined here.
I seem to be going through time and space in the next second, dreaming back to the prosperous Tang, raising my hands and feet, and picking up the heroic and historical qualities. Xi'an City Wall witnessed the rise and fall of Chang'an for thousands of years, and has penetrated into the bones of every Xi'an people since ancient times. Xi'an people flowed from birth and flowed with the blood of history. When they grew up, the square city accompanied them. Spend the day and night.

Many people visit Xi'an. The first stop is the ancient city wall. After all, standing on the wall and feeling the passage of time is also a very cool thing.
Its been a few times since I came to the city wall. Its the first time Ill see the lights. It is quite interesting to go to the city to look at the lights under the escort of the Golden Armor. The ancient city was replaced with a new one.
This light will have the support of my big Sichuan! After all, Zigongs lanterns are also very popular!
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.

Chang' an Impression -- Tang Dynasty Grand Welcoming Ceremony
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.
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.
excellent history attraction
The walls of Xi’an were beautiful even on a cloudy day. It’s fun to bike around, though give yourself a few hours to go around and pack a snack and water. a beautiful part of history.
South Gate Fort is beautiful and even better at night! It's magical walking along the wall and imagining what it might have been like to be alive during the early Dynasties. You can even rent bikes on the top of the wall!
