Recently, in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, a netizen photographed a tourist climbing the periphery of the ancient city wall with his bare hands. The video showed that rocks fell as the tourist climbed. Whether the falling stones belong to the wall itself still needs to be verified by professional institutions. However, the lack of protection measures and publicity for the city wall deserves people's reflection.

Tourists continue to ban uncivilized writing repeatedly, indicating that there are still loopholes in the city's cultural relics protection procedures and that tourists 'personal qualities need to be strengthened. It is the responsibility of every tourist to follow the rules of the scenic spot. Just greedy for temporary fun will have a bad impact on traditional cultural relics that is difficult to repair.

Xi'an City Wall is the largest existing ancient city wall in my country and belongs to a national-level 5A scenic spot. Because it was built in the Ming Dynasty, it also became the Ming City Wall. At the beginning, the city wall was a defensive system used to defend against the enemy. The material was solid. Horse riding and training could be used on the city wall. The main building was 32 meters high and was mainly used to watch the enemy's situation. There were also moats, arrow towers, sluice towers, and suspension bridges to increase the city wall's defense.

There are four main gates in the city wall: East Changle Gate, West Anding Gate, South Yongning Gate, and Bei 'an Yuanmen Gate. The names of the four gates express people's yearning for a better and peaceful life at that time. There are also four corner towers built on the corner stands at the four corners of the city wall to observe and defend against foreign enemies. The three-story corner building has double eaves, simple and elegant, and is very spectacular.

After that, almost every dynasty repaired the city wall. In modern times, a large-scale reconstruction work was carried out in 1983, using scientific technical measures to comprehensively restore the walls, city gates, gate towers and some antique management houses. It can be said that the walls we are directly in contact with now are not the original city wall, but the material used in the later protection and restoration process. However, because of its age, it still has protective value. In Xi'an's subway construction, the protection of cultural relics along the subway should be the first priority. During the construction of Line 2, it successfully avoided the locations of cultural relics such as the city wall, providing good experience for the construction of subway lines in the future.

In addition to inheriting the glorious civilization of historical years, Xi'an City Wall also creates a treasure spot for modern Xi'an people. As the central area of Xi'an City, Xi'an City Wall belongs to one of the most prosperous commercial districts in Xi'an City. Luoma City, Yongning Gate, Huimin Street, and Century Jinhua are all places where young people gather for leisure and entertainment. Similarly, the morning market in Xiaonmenli and the flower market in Xicangli also leave behind the memories of the older generation. Here, the most authentic Lao Shaanxi flavor is hidden, as well as the latest Internet celebrity food, adding a beautiful scenery to this ancient city.

Tourists can climb the city wall and choose to ride bicycles freely, or they can take an electric viewing car to circle the city and enjoy the scenery along the road. The whole journey is about 45 minutes. There is no shelter on the city wall. It is hot in summer, so be careful of heatstroke. It is more suitable to climb the city wall at night, where you can enjoy the dazzling night view of the city. You will occasionally encounter tent parties, song and dance performances and other performances, which makes people marvel at the magical charm of the ancient capital Xi'an.
