The ancient wall of Xi'an is one of the oldest landmarks of the city and the old city of Xi'an used to be contained within this wall. The wall was built in the 14th century at the request of Emperor Zhuyuanzhang. The city wall is tall, long and thick and the two main entrances are the North and South Gate. In the past, these gates were the only ways to get into the city. Now, tourists are allowed to go on top of the wall and walk around or bike around at their leisure. One can see a great view of the city from atop the wall as well as visit the many towers built along the wall.
