Fortifications of Xi'an

It was cool. They have bike rentals on top of the wall, make sure you get a decent one. You'll see the ladies dressed in old style clothing having a photo shoot. Trip.com offers the service for $140. My wife and her family were able to do the same thing near the Bell Tower for a fraction of the price. Check with the local places first before ordering online.

Interesting ancient Walls of Xi'an City built under the Emperor Hongwu. There are several doors through which you can enter. On top, there is a large path that you can follow and even ride a bike for the trip of 14 km around. The Xi'an City walls are very well preserved and have been renovated/rebuilt 3 times over the centuries. The part that I have seen is not particularly wonderful. However, it can be fun for a short visit and walk.

Impressive walls surrounding the city. Especially the gates are architectural highlights. Best to see everything by bike. Start your bike tour at the south gate. There are bike rentals at every gate, but the loop is interrupted for bikes at a section near the south gate. Plan an hour to do the 13km loop.

Nice place to walk along, you can also rent a bike. A few shops and places to eat along the way . We also stopped to do the vr experience which was amazing, we had to defend the wall and it was lots of fun. See pictures of what it looks like here.

Absolutely loved it here. If your in Xian, give this place a wonder. There's a few places to see as you come off the wall to attractions, like temples and museums. You can hire a bike to get around, and with 14 kilometres of a rectangle to cover I suggest you think about it, haha. There were loads of surviver stalls, but no-one approached us for sales.

It a magnificent city wall, I think best to visit during evening time where the place it lit up with light. Feel it is more romantic at night, compared the day time. If want to cover the whole city wall best to rent a bike. We only manage to cover quarter of it and we are all drop dead tired.

Beautiful overnight. If it's not raining, renting a bicycle would be a great alternative to do the round route. Wherever you go to China, take your passport with you, no identity, no entry.

Lovely way to see Xi’an city from the top of the wall! We got up to the wall from Jian-Guo Gate （建國門, walk past East Gate (長樂門）, and got off from Zhong-Shan gate (中山門）. Nice easy walk on top of the wall and you can see both inside and outside of the Xi’an city. There were bike for hire to ride on top of the wall too. When you get off the Little East Gate (小東門）, stopped over Yong Xin Fong (永興坊）, lots of stalls selling local snacks. Not a bad day to spend the morning when you are in Xian.
