Walking along the ancient City walls in Xi'an, China

Strengthening the city of Xian, the ancient capital of Shaanxi Province, Guanzhong Plain in the center, is one of the oldest and best preserved Chinese city walls. The wall was built in the 14th century, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, on the advice of a hermit, who told him to "build high walls, store abundant food supplies, and wait for the time when he would become emperor," to strengthen the city and unify the other states. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang followed his advice and began to expand the walls of the city, originally built by the representatives of the old Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), thus creating a modern city wall of Xi'an. It is the best preserved city wall in China, and also one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world.
