Xi'an Ancient City Wall It is a national 4A tourist attraction. The existing city wall was built in the 7th to 11th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1374-1378). It has a history of more than 600 years. It is a world-famous historical and cultural city. It is one of the four ancient capitals in China. Thirteen dynasties have successively built their capitals here for more than 1100 years. It is located in the beautiful and rich 800 li Qinchuan River, in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain, and is one of the famous tourist cities in China. It is the most complete and oldest ancient city wall in China, and an important landmark building in Xi'an, with a circumference of 13.74 kilometers.
An City Wall was built on the basis of the Tang Imperial City. Fully centering on the "defense" strategic system, the thickness of the city wall is greater than the height, and it is as solid as a mountain. The top of the wall can be used for sports cars and drills. As early as before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Huizhou, a hermit named Zhu Sheng told him that he should "build walls, store food widely, and become king slowly". Zhu Yuanzhang adopted these suggestions. When the country was unified, he ordered all prefectures and counties to build cities. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that "the mountains and rivers in the world are the only ones in the middle of Qin Dynasty". The ancient city wall of Xi'an was expanded on the basis of the old imperial city of the Tang Dynasty, presided over by the governor Pu Ying in this upsurge of building the city. The expanded Xi'an City Wall in the Ming Dynasty is 12 meters high, 12-14 meters wide at the top and 15-18 meters wide at the bottom. The city wall is built with an enemy platform every 120 meters, protruding outside the wall, and the top is flat with the wall surface. This is designed for shooting the enemies who climb the city. Half of the distance between the enemy and the enemy is just within the effective range of the bow and arrow, which is convenient for shooting the attacking enemy from the side. There are 98 enemy towers on the city wall, all of which have garrisons.

Tourist Evaluation of Xi'an Ancient City Wall Scenic Spot ：
@ cassetti : Xi'an Ancient City Wall is a famous city wall building in ancient China, and also the most intact ancient city wall. The sense of history is very strong, and the magnificent ancient city wall is extremely magnificent. It's really cool to ride a bike on the wall of the ancient city of Xi'an. The scenery is very good. You can go for a walk.
@ Look, your brother is in the sky As the largest and best preserved ancient city wall in China, Xi'an City Wall is undoubtedly full of historical vicissitudes. The original price is 54 yuan per ticket, and various certificates are discounted. Here's a reminder that Taobao has cheaper tickets, but you can't climb the wall from the south gate. The south gate is a must go point. If you climb the wall, it's too far to go around. There are bicycles for rent on the city wall, both for one person and two people, but the unit price is slightly higher. Bicycles for two people are 90 yuan/two hours, and bicycles for one person are 45 yuan/two hours. If you don't ride a bike, you can walk alone. It is estimated that it will take more than two hours to walk on the city wall after a circle. It feels very spacious. Every brick and stone seems to tell the history. The weather in Xi'an is not as good as that in Xiamen, with smog, But it seems to echo the historical details of this 6000 year old city. Walk along the city wall and feel the history of Chang'an, because I can't ride a bicycle
