Xi’an City Wall, also known as Xi’an Ming City Wall, is the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China. It is the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units and national AAAAA-level tourist attractions. The city wall of Xi’an in a broad sense includes the Tang city wall of Xi’an and the Ming city wall of Xi’an, but generally refers to the Ming city wall of Xi’an in a narrow sense.
The Ming City Wall of Xi’an is located in the central area of Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, with a height of 12 meters, a top width of 12-14 meters, and a bottom width of 15-18 meters. The outline is a closed rectangle with a circumference of 13.74 kilometers. People inside the city wall are customarily called the ancient city, covering an area of 11.32 square kilometers. The famous Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower is located in the center of the ancient city.
There are four main gates of Xi'an City Wall: Changle Gate (East Gate), Yongning Gate (South Gate), Anding Gate (West Gate), and Anyuan Gate (North Gate). These four gates are also the original gates of the ancient city wall. Since the Republic of China, many new gates have been opened to facilitate access to the ancient city. So far, there are 18 gates in the city wall of Xi'an.
On March 4, 1961, the Xi'an City Wall was announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
At the 2018 Northwest China Tourism Marketing Conference and Tourism Equipment Exhibition, Xi'an City Wall was shortlisted for the "100 Wonderful Northwestern Scenery" list.
