Xi’an City Wall

Still standing proud in excellent condition thanks to diligent restoration efforts, Xi’an City Wall is considered one of the finest examples of the advanced defense system which developed in China and the world at the time of its construction over 1,400 years ago. Like all monuments in China, Xi’an’s City Wall is layered with symbolism and grounded in practicality. Throughout history, the wall served many purposes and still retains great appeal for locals and visitors alike, not least because of the unique city views and step back in time it offers. A definite ‘must-see’ for your time in Xi’an.
