We did the bike ride along the top of the city wall at night which was magical. It was cold and a light snow was falling which added to the enchantment. Our tour guide, Noble, who is a native of Xi’an, was a wealth of information. We learned about the history of the wall and its unique features and architecture. In preparation for the Chinese New Year there were dozens of massive lighted figures of all types of things including dragons, horses and others along the south wall. The figures were bright and colorful lending to the magic of the experience. Highly recommend this experience.
Dear Daryn, Thank you for this wonderful review! We're so happy to hear your night bike ride on the Xi'an city wall was a magical experience, especially with the gentle snowfall adding to the enchantment. It's fantastic to know that Noble's deep local knowledge enriched your understanding of the wall's history. We're delighted the festive light displays contributed to such a memorable visit. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Warm regards, China Xian Tour
Most people focus on the terracotta warriors (which are amazing by the way) but risk missing out on a very unique experience to visit the Xi'an City Wall - China's only intact ancient city wall. The history is fascinating, and when else do you get a chance to ride a bike on such an historic ancient monument!? Our tour guide Ken was extremely knowledgeable, and helped us understand more about Xi'an and the city wall. Definitely recommend this tour - you can do it quickly or take more time and stretch it out, it's up to you. Very glad we made the time to do this!
