About Fortifications of Xi'an
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.

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.
This title should probably be called the City Wall of Xi'an, but in any case it's an attraction not to be missed during your visit. I recommend renting a bike on top of the wall and riding around it for different views of the city. It's cool at night as well.
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!
One of the best preserved city walls in the world. Great for taking a short walk or even hire a bike and cycle around. If you want to take stunning pictures just go to the park.
Fantastic place! Recommend rent a bike if you want to have a unique experience and sightseeing. It's huge and magnificent. If coming to Xian this is a must go.
Really impressive. Not too busy. Great views. Would definitely recommend a walk (or cycle) along the wall during a stay in Xi'an.
This city wall is unexpectedly huge! I tried covering some parts of the wall walking, but after 2 hours could only get to the West gate (from South gate). It was so tiring. I suggest using the cart/trolley for 80 kuai if exploring all the corners of the wall is your goal. Cycling is also not bad. This place is very clean and pretty, recommended for a visit.
We decided to go see the Xi'an fortification wall at sunset and it was definitely worth it! we hired a tandem bicycle and decided to ride around the entire perimeter. best way to get a view of the entire city! at night time all the lanterns are lit up and it creates a wonderful atmosphere. the wall is 13.7km so i would recommend hiring a bicycle to enjoy it fully. a must see in your trip to Xi'an.
A must-see place. You can either walk or take a bike on the walls along the city. A best way to feel the ancient city, xian.
nice weather and people there also polite i will bring my family to vidit there next time
