City Walls
The City Walls of Xian were first built during the Tang dynasty (618-907) when Chang’an (Xian) was capital of all of China. Today’s rectangular walls date back to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and are the only complete city walls in China. They enclose the old city for 12km (8 miles) and have turrets, battlements and a moat.
