Travel China Guide About The Xi?an City Wall-Replica Watches

Being located in the center of Xi an City, the Xi an City Wall is rectangle-shaped, 18 meters in bottom width, 15 meters in top width, 12 meters in height and 11.9 kilometers in total perimeter. There stand four city gates, with Changle Gate in east, Anding Gate in west, Yongning Gate in south and Anyuan Gate in north. It is built around the imperial city, protecting from invasion. The thickness of the wall is greater than its height, firm and steady, which can be used for drilling. It has a history of more than 1400 years, which is the best-preserved city wall in China.


City wall is built for self-preservation in case of invasion in the past and there is no exception to Xi an City Wall. The moat is the first defensive line, on which no suspension bridge is built, making it the only way into the city. The suspension bridge is landed above the river for people to walk through while in the night, it is hanged in the sky, offering no way to enter the city. Being the second defensive line, watchtower built outside the city wall is served as beating the watches and setting alarms. Being the third defensive line, the embrasured watchtower is riddled with arrow holes, which is used for watching and shooting. Between the embrasured watchtower and the central building lies the bulwark, the fourth defensive line, which plays the role of catching enemies after they invade into the city. It is out of question that the fifth line is the central wall gate. It is not easy for the enemies to break the above fifth defensive lines.

Apart from the tightly defensive city gate, turrets are built in the four corners of the city wall as well, which is used to assist the city gates to watch and defense the invading enemies. Outside the city wall, piers are set every 120 meters, which are in the same structure with city wall, 20 meters in width, 12 meters outer the wall. There are 98 piers and 5984 crenels on the city wall, which are sawteeth-shaped around the wall. On each pier sits 3 watchtowers, where troops can be stationed. On the city walls and piers stand the parapets, which could not only refuge for safe but also watch enemies. Therefore, the Xi an City Wall is of value for studying the urban construction and history in feudal society of China
