Historic and cultural blocks at the South Gate of Xi'an City Wall take on new look

As a symbol of Chinese civilization, the ancient Xi'an City Wall is the best preserved architecture of its kind in China.

In September 2014, the historic and cultural blocks at the South Gate of Xi'an City Wall was opened to the public, presenting a brand new look featuring a wide square, straight imperial roads, and majestic copper rose finch lampposts, which stand in perfect harmony with the moat, battlement and round city park.

Symbolizing the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xi'an City Wall is once again unleashing its time-honored appeal to the world and ushering in a new chapter of the era.
