What to expect

Walking or cycling on top of a 600-year-old city wall is not something you get to do every day — and yes, you can ride a bike on it.

Bike ride or walk?
Both are great. Cycling takes about 1–1.5 hours for a full loop and is fun and easy. Walking allows you to slow down, take photos, and enjoy views of both the old city and modern Xi’an.

Good to know
The wall is wide, flat, and safe. Bike rentals are available at several gates, and you can enter or exit at different points if you don’t want to do the full loop.
