You can walk or rent a bike and ride on Xian City Wall.
Xi'an City Wall (Fortifications of Xi'an) is the most complete city wall that has survived in China.
This interesting wall is 13,7 kilometers long, and built 1370 AD around the city center of Xi’an.

Este es el foso de la muralla de Xian. A la izquierda la ciudad antigua amurallada, con sus pagodas y bazares, todo tradición. A la derecha (lo que se ve) la ciudad moderna, luces, música occidental, hamburguesas y centros de negocios, sin embargo coexisten en armonía, no hay ruptura entre ambos mundos, muy al estilo chino.
Quelque part dans le nord de la Chine, de magnifiques montagnes et reliefs rougeâtres s’élèvent pour nous offrir un beau panorama naturel.

Somewhere in the north of China, magnificent mountains and reddish reliefs rise to offer us a beautiful natural panorama.
The Bell Tower stands up to 36 meters high, although it is located on a rectangular brick base.
With the entire original structure preserved intact, it is one of the best examples of authentic Ming and Qing dynasty architecture to be seen in Xian.
Inside are several bronze bells, responsible for marking the start of the day.
The largest bell is called Jingyun, it is almost two and a half meters tall and weighs 6,500 kilograms.
