The first landmark visitors will encounter in Xi'an is the ancient city wall, which surrounds the old city in a large square area. The northern side runs parallel to the railway. Xi'an was originally a walled city, and even today the wall is considered a landmark dividing the city into the inner part and the outer part. The city wall is massive — tall, long and thick. The South Gate and North Gate are the two main entrances to the inner city.
大家在西安首先会见到的标志性建筑是古城墙，它环绕着古城，形成一个大广场。北侧与铁路平行。西安最初是有城墙的，即使在今天，城墙也被认为是划分城内和城外的地标。城墙又高又长又厚，南门和北门是通往内城的两个主要入口。
landmark [ˈlændmɑːk]
n. [航]陆标；地标；界标；里程碑；纪念碑；地界标；划时代的事
adj. 有重大意义或影响的
例：
Pick a landmark in the distance, such as a tree or a stop sign, and pick up the pace until you get to it.
选择路程中的一个地标，比如一棵树或者一个停车标志，然后加快节奏知道你到达那个地标。
massive [ˈmæsɪv]
adj. 大量的；巨大的，厚重的；魁伟的
As you leisurely stroll on some of the ancient city wall, you can best enjoy its inner and outer walls, watchtowers, moat, and landscape, as well as slightly elevated views of the city. Having an expert guide will help you appreciate the city wall’s history. It is recommended that you visit in the late afternoon for the best combination of temperature and light for photography. It is also wonderful to stay till evening and enjoy the colorfully-lit wall and Xi'an night views.
当你悠闲地漫步在古老的城墙上，你可以很好地欣赏它的内墙和外墙，瞭望塔、护城河、周围的景观以及需要稍微抬头仰望的城市风景。专业的导游帮助你欣赏城墙的历史。建议你在下午晚些时候去，温度和光线适合拍照。晚上去也很不错，可以欣赏到灯火通明的城墙和西安的夜景。

adv. 悠闲地；从容不迫地
v. 散步，闲逛；（体育比赛）轻而易举地获胜

Cycling on the wall makes for a great way to get some terrific views of the city and a great way to get some exercise (after all that eating at the food street). As the wall is 13+ km long, cycling is a good way to see more (or all) of it. The rental fee for a normal bike (not a tandem) is 40 yuan per bicycle for 1½ hours. We recommend that you rent a bicycle at the foot of the wall for a better price.
在长城上骑自行车是欣赏城市美景的一个不错的办法，也是锻炼身体的好方法(毕竟在美食街上吃了那么多东西)。因为城墙有13公里长，骑自行车是一个游览城墙的好方法。一辆普通的自行车(不是双人自行车)1个半小时的租金是40元/辆。我们建议价格在城墙下面租一辆更便宜的自行车。
n. 骑脚踏车消遣；骑脚踏车兜风
The Xi'an City Wall International Marathon is the only marathon in the world on an ancient city wall (though there is also a Great Wall Marathon). It is a grand event combining history, culture, and marathon running. The event was founded in 1993 and has been held annually since. The scale of the event last year was 5,000 people, including 1,600 marathon runners, a 13.7 km event (one lap of the wall), and a 5 km event.

Xi'an City Wall was erected in the 14th century Ming Dynasty, under the regime of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. When Zhu Yuanzhang captured Huizhou, long before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he was admonished by a hermit named Zhu Sheng, who told him to 'build high walls, store abundant provisions and take your time in proclaiming yourself emperor', advice heeded by Zhu Yuanzhang.
