Uncover the ancient charm of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, by taking a bicycle ride around its iconic city wall. The Xi'an City Wall was first built in the Sui and Tang dynasties 1,400 years ago, and then later expanded during the Ming Dynasty some 600 years ago. This impressive structure extends for over 13.7 kilometers (8.5 miles) to form an unbroken rectangular circuit enclosing the old town of Xi'an. Over the years, the wall has undergone extensive restoration, blending modern amenities seamlessly into a site that attracts thousands of visitors to cycle here. It's said to be the only place in China where visitors can cycle around a full circuit set on top of an ancient city wall. Join Rachel for a unique bike trip around one of the largest and best-preserved city walls in China.
