i insisted and wanted to set foot on this ancient wall... i watched many battle movies, all of those enemy who wants to attack the city had to break through the fierce defence army at the city wall first. Often, the walls were the last defence-line and brutal fights were inevitable.
This was build during Tang Dynasty. and i read somewhere that during that era, the area behind the walls is actually the Tang Imperial City. If i have 3 hours, i would really love to spent the time to survey the entire perimeter...
Pix above: They are closing in an hours time, and visitors had long gone home... Only 2 folks up here, a road sweeper and me.
Pix Left: Is the railway station outside the Wall (环城北路东段)
Pix Right: Is their bus-interchange, the hustle and bustle modern city within the perimeter of the Wall.
