For a further insight into ancient Xi’an, visit the City Wall to see one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world. Originally built during the Tang Dynasty, the wall was expanded at the bequest of the 1st emperor of the Ming Dynasty and is the most complete city wall that has survived in China. As you explore the museum’s exhibition halls you will find an impressive array of ancient relics and mural paintings.
