Xi An city walls

in travel •  7 years ago 

HI Steemit.

This is the Xi An city wall that used to protect the old city from enemies. It has many gates where you can enter and climb up the walls by stairs

This is the south gate where we entered

At night there is a traditional show call Chang An impression

It is staged on this place just inside the gate

After climbing the stairs you can walk around the wall

You can also rent a bicycle or golf cart to take you around. Golf cart is a bit expensive, so bicycle and walking are the popular choice

Some nice decorations

As you can see on the left which is inner wall side its traditional buildings, and on the right or the outer wall side its tall buildings. The inner city is preserved so tall buildings are only allowed outside the wall

The walls are very wide and flat making it easy to walk around

Really awesome place, its unfortunate how much pollution is in the city and you cant even see the sky.

Thank you azfix. Yes the sky wasn't so blue, but it improved after the rain

@djohan,
Wow this is pretty amazing! These walls seems to be huge and wide! The look of traditional fortress and the palace looks so great! Great photography!

Cheers~

Thank you theguruasia. Yes the wall is so wide and flat making it easy to walk. The view was great too on left and right

Looks so grandiose, I really hope to see the great wall someday and take a bunch of pictures

Thank you bitcoinman. The great wall has a different history and is not on flat ground. Also a must visit

Love this spot! Upvoted and resteemed ! Have a wonderful holiday!

Thank you emilymichelle

I can only imagine back then what life was like. Maybe in many ways for peaceful, but also perhaps very difficult. Maybe will people will say the same of us 100 years from now :-)

Thank you floridanow. Yes life was very difficult for the common people back then. For the emperor very good off course. 100 years from now maybe travelling is done by teleport and no more long hours on a plane or train

Hi @djohan

Xi A city, wow. Very special, I see magnificent magnificent walls, and combine the two sides of traditional and modern buildings when we look at the castle walls, very unusual.
