HI Steemit.

This is the Xi An city wall that used to protect the old city from enemies. It has many gates where you can enter and climb up the walls by stairs

After climbing the stairs you can walk around the wall

You can also rent a bicycle or golf cart to take you around. Golf cart is a bit expensive, so bicycle and walking are the popular choice
