Xi’an - City Wall Day and Night

Xi’an city wall did not disappoint. It’s super simple to get there by taxi and equally as easy to book a ticket either using Wechat or the ticketing offices. Once on the wall, you can choose to walk, cycle or take a shuttle bus. The wall itself is huge and the distance from start to finish is about 21km. I decided to cycle first (45rmb to rent a bike for 180 minutes) and then walk and it took me all afternoon. It was however, a very well spent afternoon taking in the beautiful views and learning a little more about Xi’an’s history. There are lots of places to get drinks and snacks along the way. As I visited during the Chinese New Year holiday, I had the extra treat of observing a beautiful lantern festival on the wall. It cost 100RMB and was open from 18:00-23:00. It was extremely busy but wonderful to see. #newyearadventure #china #chinesenewyear #xian #wall
