Xi'an City Wall Bike Tour
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Xi'an, before heading to the nearest bus or subway to bring us to Xi'an City Wall.
Once we've arrived at the entrance gate, for approximately 1.5 hours we'll enjoy a bike tour of the Xi'an Wall - pedalling along the defensive enclosure as we contemplate the hidden secrets held in its walls.
Built during the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, the Xi'an City Wall (also known as the Fortifications of Xi'an) is almost 9 miles long (14 km). On our bike tour, we'll stop at the different gates (East Gate, Changle; South Gate, Yongning; North Gate, Anyuan; and West Gate, Anding) to understand why this wall was built. Who were Xi'an's enemies? How was this wall built in just four years? We'll reveal this and much more during the tour!
Over the course of the bike ride, we'll also hear about some of the fascinating legends regarding the history of China - many of which have a foundation in events which truly took place. In fact, the chronicles of the time reveal that as a means of protection... well, we'll find out on the tour!
At the end of our private bike tour, the guide will accompany you by bus or subway back to your hotel in Xian, where you'll arrive about 3.5 hours after pickup.
