City Wall
Last year was the 15th Xian City Wall International Marathon where people from all over the world came to run on the wall.
But, on the day I visited, only a few tourists braved the cold and rain.

What an amazing wall Karen. its huge. I love visiting places like that. You are fortunate to see the sights while traveling for work.
I enjoyed your pictures of Sunnyvale and San mateo museum too.
To answer your question about Folsom Prison. the museum is just outside the gate pictured on the post. Its tiny but very interesting. there was a retired warden that knows the place intimately and told us almost more than we really wanted to know. I could take pictures of the prison as long as no visitors were identifible.
Wonderful shots!
Nice to see that!

Wow, how cool is that? Fantastic shots.
I'm surprised that the wall is still in good condition for people to walk on. Xian is such an ancient city, 2000 plus years?? This is the first I heard about the Marathon in Xian.
I don't remember seeing benches on that wall. They were doing some preservation work when I was there, so maybe they added them later.
Odd that not too many tourists really walk on the wall. It was completely deserted when I was there too.
Amazing work... God bless you!
