Bike ride on Xi’an City Wall - Post by Noah

Last week, my father and I went bike riding on the Xi’an city wall. The city wall is a high stone wall that surrounds the old part of the city.


It had four archway gates when it was made, but now has twenty gates to allow for traffic.

We rode on a double bike. It was scary. There were some wires (conduit cables) sticking out, bricks in the pavement were gone, and ramps changed the height of the wall.

We only had one hour. We had to ride fast on the way back because we had to go to our train for Shanghai.

Not many people do this and that is kind of cool.
