西安城墙
City Wall
The Xi'an City Wall surrounds the Ming Dynasty city area in a complete rectangle. The city gates, turrets, horse faces and views overlooking the old and new neighborhoods together form defensive buildings and elevated urban routes. Instead of rushing to complete the entire loop, it is often better to choose a slow walk to observe how the city wall connects the axis of the Bell Tower and the Forest of Steles neighborhood.

Getting there
Yongningmen Station is close to the south gate tourist entrance and is a more convenient way to arrive.
Practical notes
Yongning Gate is best for first-time entry, but bicycle, gate points, and section closures are subject to weather, maintenance, and events. The city wall has less shade and a long distance between exits. You should bring drinking water, avoid the high temperature at noon, and confirm the return location of the rental car.
