   In the afternoon, start your Xian tour with the ancient Xian City Wall, a majestic testament to China's rich history, dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Spanning 8.5 miles, it offers a remarkable journey through time. You will ascend the wall for panoramic views of the city or explore its watchtowers and gates.
