Xi'an Highlights

Xian has an amazing city wall. The wall is at least 20 metres wide and 4km long and encompasses the entire city centre. A good way of seeing the city is to hire a bike and ride along the wall!

Below are pictures of the famous Bell and Drum towers in the centre of Xi'an. In the picture with the fountain there is a shopping centre underneath selling many Western luxuries such as milk and coffee!

Outside of the wall there is a moat, not the cleanest either..which will help prevent invaders!
