| Xi'an City Walls |
|
The Xi'an City Wall is not only the most complete city wall that has
survived in China, but it's also one of the largest and most complete
ancient military systems of defense in the world. The city walls here
were actually built on the fortifications of the Tang Forbidden City.
The military defense facilities here including the city wall, city
moat, drawbridges, watchtowers, corner towers, parapet walls and
gate towers once made up a complete city defense system.
Many sections have since been destroyed and the city walls are
incomplete. The 14km of wall does not stretch around the entire
city. You can get up on the walls at the east of the railway station
and at the south gate adjacent to the provincial museum. |
