It is convenient to buy tickets, scan the code directly to enter the door, but pay attention to which door to buy the ticket, the scenic service can't keep up, there is no paper ticket (for memorial use), the staff service attitude is blunt, a bit like a monument 😄

It’s okay to see the scenery. Most of them are specially taken to take pictures. The city wall has a historical heritage, but it’s still a bit tired to walk down. It’s actually a bit boring to go around without understanding the situation of a certain history.

The city gate building is very magnificent, the city wall above is wide, the 54 yuan ticket is still quite expensive, now there are several small doors that are not open to pass, it is too tired to walk to the next door~~ The exit passes through the historical exhibition hall, there is a video information introduction

The Xi'an City Wall is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient city walls in China. The Xi'an City Wall in a broad sense includes the Xi'an Tang City Wall and the Xi'an Ming City Wall, but it generally refers to the Xi'an Ming City Wall in a narrow sense. The Xi'an Ming City Wall is 12 meters high, 12-14 meters wide at the top, 15-18 meters wide at the bottom, and has a closed rectangular outline with a circumference of 13.74 kilometers. The area inside the city wall is usually called the Ancient City District, which covers an area of ​​11.32 square kilometers. The famous Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower is located in the center of the Ancient City District. There are four main gates in the Xi'an City Wall: Changle Gate (East Gate), Yongning Gate (South Gate), Anding Gate (West Gate), and Anyuan Gate (North Gate). These four gates are also the original gates of the ancient city wall. Since the Republic of China, in order to facilitate access to the Ancient City District, many new gates have been opened one after another. Now there are 18 gates in the Xi'an City Wall. The existing city wall was built in the Ming Dynasty, with a total length of 13.7 kilometers. It was built in the third year of Hongwu (1370) and completed in the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378). It was built on the basis of the imperial city of Sui and Tang dynasties under the guidance of the policy of "building high walls, storing grain, and delaying the title of king" of Ming Taizu. At that time, it was the prefectural city of Xi'an. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang canonized his second son Zhu Chong as the King of Qin, and the vassal and the prefectural government were in the same city, so the city was large and solid. In addition, it was repeatedly repaired and expanded in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is still well preserved. Generally, tourists go up the city wall from the South Gate Yongning Gate, and the city wall is very imposing.
