City Wall

Favorite thing: Xian is one of the very few cities in China, where the city wall is still in very good condition. 12km of wall surround the city, which has been once the biggest city of the world. At a time (around 1200), when Cologne had about 30000 inhabitants and New York did not yet exist, Xian had 1.000.000 people.
