Public information shows that the Xi'an City Wall, also known as the Xi'an Ming City Wall, is the largest and most well preserved ancient city wall in China. It is one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units and a national 5A level tourist attraction. The adult ticket in this scenic area is 54 yuan, the student ticket is 27 yuan, and some people can enjoy free admission.
On July 28th, a nearby merchant told reporters that the city gate was usually closed and could not enter the city wall from here. He never heard of tourists breaking the threshold and evading tickets to enter the city wall. Usually, when tourists come to the store to inquire about the entrance to the city wall, he will inform them that the nearest entrance is the illuminated gate several hundred meters away.
The reporter noticed that in recent years, the media has repeatedly reported on uncivilized tourist behavior in the Xi'an city wall area, with more cases of climbing the city wall. The management of Xi'an City Wall Scenic Area reminds that if the wall is damaged, it will be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the City Wall Protection Regulations.
