 Xian City Wall by Blatherwick
A really fun way to see Xian and take in the wall is to grab a bike and actually cycle around the ancient city. Leave a Comment

Xi'an city centre has two parts really, although they do amalgamate into one. There is the modern section, where you will find all of the usual fast food outlets, air conditioned malls and the like; then there is the older section which largely consists of the Muslim quarter. This area of Xi'an is beautiful, busy narrow cobbled streets with lots of small shops, gorgeous buildings and culture.

As you can see by the attached photo, the wall is quite flat and easy to ride a bike on. The wall slopes very slightly to the “city side” the entire way around. Although there are large “cobble stones” for the entire trip, the riding was quite safe and uneventful.
The hardest part of the trip was the wind! As you are up quite high it can be difficult when the wind gets up. Once you are used to riding your bike in any one direction you can turn a corner and be riding directly into a headwind! Of course this can also be the opposite and you can have a very nice “tail wind” helping you along Leave a Comment

The Sentry buildings were built on the ramparts of the wall for guard soldiers to take shelter from wind and rain and to store weapons. Every 120 meters, there is a rampart which extends out from the main wall and each one features a sentry building. All together, there are 98 ramparts on the wall, which were built to defend against the enemy climbing up the wall. Leave a Comment
