The Xi'an City Wall, located in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China, is one of the most well-preserved ancient city walls in the world. Dating back to the Ming Dynasty (14th century), this massive structure encapsulates the historical significance and architectural grandeur of ancient China.Xi'an City Wall was initially built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and expanded during the Ming Dynasty. As the ancient capital of China for several dynasties, Xi'an's wall served as a crucial defense mechanism, protecting the city from invasions and providing a sense of security for its inhabitants. Today, it stands as a testament to the city's historical importance and military prowess.

This is 100% one of the best things to visit in Xi'an. Cycling around wall was very fun, but also very long, so I'd recommend only cycling a little bit and then just walking to explore too.

Take the family to experience the perspective of ancients and walk on the city wall in the modern society. Riding a double bicycle, the family rides. Especially I feel the majestic architecture of ancient times and the defense ability of ancient city pools. I really admire it, especially the long city wall, which is not easy for ordinary people to walk down. A simple city wall ticket is acceptable, but the price of bicycles does not feel cheap.

It looks very magnificent below to go to Rulupingdi! The south gate has the most people, and there are few people in the other doors. It feels more. It is really big. We watched and rode. It took an hour and a half to ride half of it. If you go, it is estimated that it will take more than four hours! Don't go to the big sun! Xi'an is a very worth visiting attraction! And don't bring a lot of things, no car pocket, it is best to carry a bag! Convenient to ride!
