This is a great experience but if you opt to ride the walls (13.7 kms) be aware that there is significant earthquake damage in parts and stones missing all over the place so it's a really bumpy ride. You need to stop and look at the views as you dare not take your eyes off the surface ahead. Bikes are... More

Really enjoyed the bike ride on the Ancient Wall. The view is magnificent. However, the bricks on the ground were quite broken, the bumpy ride doesn't help when you are rushing to return the bike within 100 minutes. It's some hard work if you don't want to be penalized.

Visit the wall if Xi'An after sunset or in the night. Absolutely gorgeous stroll with red lanterns lit up blending really well with the lit walls and the close by Bell Tower and Drum Tower which are also lit.

unfortunately it was too cold this visit to take a bike around the wall and the motor car rental is too expensive but on my previous trip, I rented a bike (prices posted) and enjoyed the 1.5 hour casual ride around. The views are the same after a while but its still lovely. There are also tandem bikes at the... More

Boy is this impressive a most imposing gate and gigantic wall which surrounds this ancient city.i could have spent weeks in this city instead of just a few days.

We very much enjoyed cycling on the city wall. Impressive views into the city from the top of the wall.
