La tour du Tambour servait autrefois à mesurer le temps, centre névralgique de la ville. À 19 heures, les sonneurs et les péages sonnaient 13 fois.

Building these ‘high walls’ was also in an effort to fortify the city, thereby bringing the rest of the states together. The wall has survived several centuries and remains one of the world’s most extensive traditional military defense systems. Not only is the wall one of the best preserved, but also the largest and oldest in the country. Erected during the 14th century, it has undergone refurbishment thrice, about once every 2 centuries, and most recently in the early 1980s. The wall harbors four main gates that helped to provide access to the town during the ancient times, with sentries on towers overlooking each gate. In addition, a large part of the city features a wide moat stretching around the historic walls, with huge drawbridges used to cut links when lifted, thereby controlling access to and from this city. This perimeter wall is best covered while cycling, as this allows tourists to explore the old city faster. The majestic Xi’an City wall features flanking […]
