Its like riding a bike on the Xi'an City Wall

You never forget how hard you held onto the handle bars of the tandem bicyle or the menacing row of pot holes swiftly approaching. The Xi'an city wall is well worth a wander. We walked around half of its 8 and a half mile length (in a rectangular shape) and cycled the rest. Hopefully I will have a video of the death tricycle ride home uploaded soon.


Half way point, the north gate is hiding somewhere beneath the castle/fort in this photo


This is Xi'an train station as viewed from the city wall


Slightly less prosperous parts of the city


Ma Jiang (Ma Jong) being played by a group of friends (we assume)
