Xi'an City Wall Travel Guide: Start a Historical and Cultural Journey

　　Xi'an City Wall is the largest and most complete ancient city wall in China, located in the central area of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. Xi'an City Wall was built on the basis of the Tang Dynasty Imperial City. The existing city wall was built from the seventh to the eleventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1374-1378), and has a history of more than 600 years. The city wall is completely centered on the "defense" strategic system. The thickness of the city wall is greater than its height, and it is as stable as a mountain. Sports cars and drills can be run on the top of the wall. The ancient city wall of Xi'an includes a series of military facilities such as moats, suspension bridges, gatehouses, arrow towers, main towers, corner towers, enemy towers, parapets, and crenels, forming a strict and complete military defense system.
