Xi'an City Wall (Chengqiang), Xi'an

Great Wall of Xi'an is a well known place in the city, it's very famous and old as it's an ancient wall like the great wall of china, you need to pay 100 yuan to enter it, there is also discount for students 50% if u have your student ID card with you, during Chinese new year celebrations it's very crowded and marvelous cuz Chinese celebrations are amazing, 10 days before the spring festival you will see a lot of red lanterns around the city as it's traditional way of celebration to hang the red lanterns as a sign of welcoming the new year with prosperity and happiness. The wall is very long and you can ride bicycle to explore all the wall, also Chinese respect bicycles a lot as it's very important in their culture.

Great place for walking and getting glimpses of the ancient part of the city. Bike is highly recommended if you intend to go around.

Great memories, worth visiting

It was such a fun and nice day on the wall! We had a tour guide who took us through all the must places and let us explore most of it on our own. The weather was so nice and I learned so much about the evolution of bicycles and their importance to the Chinese culture.

Visited in December. Go up anywhere in the 4 Cardinal direction gates and rent some bikes. It's pretty fun and a good workout. It took us 1.5 hours on a tandem bike, stopping along the way. There are restaurants and restrooms at the top. The south gate is the fanciest. Tandem bike was 90 rmb for 3 hours with a 100 rmb security deposit.
