The City Wall

Xi'an is one of the oldest cities in China, dating back to the first dynasty. The original city is only a few square miles and is surrounded by a thick wall. The city center is filled with cultural sites, shopping and food.

Da Yan Ta or Big Wild Goose Pagoda is just south of the City Wall. It is a famous tourist attraction with beautiful landscaping.

The City Wall at night is particularly lovely.
