Xi'an landmark
Xi'an City Wall
A Ming-era city wall with eight official points for going up onto the wall.
Use South Gate / 永宁门 for this arrival card. The official Xi'an City Wall operator lists eight points for going up onto the wall: East Gate (Changle Gate), South Gate (Yongning Gate), West Gate (Anding Gate), North Gate (Anyuan Gate), Heping Gate, Wenchang Gate, Hanguang Gate and Shangde Gate. Pick the access point that fits the rest of your day instead of treating the wall as a single map pin. Xi'an’s municipal tourism portal says the wall was first built in the Ming dynasty and has more than 600 years of history. Check the operator’s live visitor notice for current ticket, entry and operating arrangements.
西安城墙南门（永宁门）The operator publishes eight wall-access points rather than one street address. This card uses South Gate / Yongning Gate; choose a different official access point only when it better fits your plan.
