The City Wall of Xi'an

Xi'an City Wall Getting there: Line 2 of the subway, yongningmen station. Located in the centre of the city, the city wall of Xi'an runs for several kilometers. For an entry fee of around 58RMB, you can spend the entire day walking around it and enjoying the scenery. Alternatively, you can pay a little extra and ride a bike around the wall to get fit. Suggestion: you can enter via south, west and north gate. I recommend the south gate because you can enjoy the best views of Bell Tower. #xiancitywall

The Best Preseved City wall in China

#china #xiancitywall #urbanexplorer Xi’an in Shaanxi province is well known for the famous burial site of the first emperor of China, but you mustn’t miss it’s other treasures whilst staying there. The fortifications of the ancient city are some of the largest, oldest and best preserved in all of China. Dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties the wall encased an area of around 14 square kilometres - so get ready for some serious exercise! We hired bicycles on the top of the wall and spent the evening exploring the various structures atop it as well as the glittering views of the city. Once coming down, make sure to take the quick walk to the Drum tower (third photo) for another beautiful view.

Bicycle ride on Xi'an Wall

Getting There - There are 4 different gates that you can enter. You can walk there, take a bicycle or a taxi. Attractions - The length of Xi'an City Wall 13,47km that you can walk or rent a bicycle and ride around on the city wall. You can stop along the way and look at the buildings along the way, stop for a drink or ice-cream or look at the view outside of the city wall. It's 45 yuan to rent a bicycle and 100 yuan for deposit that you get back when you bring the bicycle back. Hotels - A lot of hotels you can choose from in the area around the city wall. My preference is Crystal Orange Hotel it's close to the wall and their service is great. Food & Restaurants - There are a few stands where you can buy something to eat or drink. Shopping - There are a few kiosks where you can buy ice-cream and drinks and souvenir shops. #xi'ancitywall #bicycleride#summervacation

Beautiful Xi'an

Xi'an City Wall is also known as Fortification of Xi'an. It is a massive compound scaling around 13.7 kilometre and stands 12 metre high in the middle of the Xi'an City. Regarded as one of the largest ancient military defensive system in the world, it was built during the Ming Dynasty (1370). It has four main gates; East Gate (Changle Gate), West Gate (Anding Gate), South Gate (Yongning Gate), North Gate (Anyuan Gate). We went through the Yongning Gate as it is the most decorated one. Visitors are able to walk along the wall and enjoy its inner and outer walls, watchtowers, moat, and landscape from an elevated view. While we opted for cycling around the wall because the place was huge and we were all tired by the walking. we stayed until night to witness the lights on lanterns. we loved the place so much #xian #xiancitywall #china

1. The City Wall This is one of the ancient largest military defences in the world and it is also well preserved. To enter the city wall you have to pay 54rmb. You can cycle around the wall or just enjoy strolling around while taking great photos. Free for children and senior citizens.. just doubke check the height requiremenents for a free entrance for your kids. 2. Terracotta Warriors Of course, this is the main attraction in Xian. We took the subway and bus going to this place. Metro line 2 to Beidajie then Line 1 to Fangzhicheng then Line 9 to Huaqing Pool Station. Afterwards we took 602 bus. This is a long ride that takes around 2 hours. We bought the tickets by the entrace for 120rmb each and we spent 3 hours inside. 3. Bell Tower You can easily spot this in the city coz it is located downtown. We never had the chance to go inside and see the city from above the tower but we enjoyed looking at it lit up at night. We tried to buy but ticket office was close already. So make sure you go there early to avail tickets for the day or for the next day. Ticket price is I guess 35rmb 4. Muslim Quarters My gosh I wish I had 2 bellies coming to this.place. I kade a huge mistake though looking and asking for pork for like a good 5 minutes then we realized how wrong that was hahaha! For food lovers this is a foodie lover heaven. Enjou your holiday! #xiancitywall #mytripvlog #terracottaarmy #yearofrabbit#tripblazers
