First constructed in 582 AD, the Xi’an City Wall boasts a history of over 1,400 years and stands as a major landmark and spiritual link to China’s ancient capital.

This historic landmark witnessed Xi’an’s rise and fall as the centre of many Chinese dynasties. From its Ming and Qing dynasty layout, built atop Sui and Tang imperial foundations, to its transformation into a vibrant cultural and tourism hub, the wall seamlessly connects history with modern city life. Walk along its gates, corner towers and surrounding moat and see why millions of visitors make the journey each year to experience the past up close. This ancient fortification is not just a relic—it’s a living bridge between Xi’an’s rich heritage and the heartbeat of today.#china #cgtn #chineseculture #xian #culture
