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.

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.

Helpful Information
There are bicycle rental services at each of the 4 gates; North, South, East and West, for you to rent and to return. The best way to tour this ancient city is by bicycle as it is even allowed on top of the circumvallation. After that you can always hop into the sightseeing electric cars to loop through the rest of the city of which the entire journey will take about 50 minutes.

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!
