Xi'an Drum Tower

Xi'an City walls

After some recent work the city walls in Xi'an have been reconstructed to their previous state, which means you can walk around their entire circumference with out having to stop. Although it's a lot quicker and much more fun if you hire a tandem bike for an hour or two!

The proper things in all their glory!
