Xian has a complete wall around the old part of the city - 13.7 km long. We cycled along it this morning so I am now standing up. Then we went up the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, lots of steps and would have had great views if we could have seen into the distance.
Then we walked through the Muslem Centre - narrow streets with lots of food sellers and Middle Eastern food. Apparently there is about 2 mill Moslems in Xian who came in the 13th century.
We are off to Beijing on an overnight train. i expect to sleep well.
