About:Xian City Wall

Hi - I will be in Xian around the 20th-23rd May and I expect it to be springish weather ? So shouldnt be too hot or rainy I hope. If anyone can make any recommendations to my approx plan - appreciated.

On Day one Im arriving on the overnight train from Beijing at around 8am.
Plan to visit
- Drum TOwer
- Bell TOwer
- Big Goose Pagoda

Day 2
- Terracotta Warriors
- Huaqing Hot Springs + Light Show

Day 3
- Moslem Street
- City Wall ( staying near the Shuyuan/ South Gate )
- Fly to Chengdu

If time allows - Ive also been told that the Shaanxii History Museum and Tang Dynasty show are worth seeing as well ?

Just really wondering about the city wall ? I was wondering if its possible to see / walk some of the wall - is it difficult , uneven etc. The main thing is that I cannot ride a bicycle or walk / trek great distances due to an injury - balance issue I have. So was wondering if a short walk is do-able and worth it and if the city bus tour of the wall is recommended also ?

Thanks for your advice.

Jeff

It will be early summer in later May in Xian, but it won't rain too much then. Shaanxii History Museum and Tang Dynasty show do worth a visit. You can just cllimb up the city wall from one of the gate to walk for a short distance and then walk down the wall from the same gate, considering your condition.

Ok - thanks for the advice Mr Jack and Mr Hank. Appreciated.

Im glad I can do some of the city wall - Ive been advised also that the South to the East gate is one of the best directions to take ?

Has anyone any info/ price on the golf buggy car that does circuits / tours of the wall ?

Thanks again - Jeff

Yes, the south gate -east gate is a good section to visit. The ticket fare of the golf buggy car is CNY5 per stop and CNY50 for a whole way.
