Xi'an city wall

The old city wall that once surrounded the city is now only capturing the center of it. The city is now many times bigger than the wall boundary. It is about 14km around and is a rectangle. The surface is fully paved and about 12 - 14 m wide. There is also a moat all around the outside.
  We hired bicycles from one of the hire places on top and went for a ride. Sharon turned back after about 1/2 hour and I completed the circuit alone. There wasn't much of interest, only the train station we had already seen and a temple, but it was a fun experience.
