The City Wall

May 5th, 2005

We headed to the City Wall.  The City Wall is a wall that created a rectangle around the inner city of Xian.  It was built between 1374 and 1378 by Ming Emperor Hong Wu.  The walls stand 40 feet high.  You can walk the entire 7 1/2 miles along the top of the walls.

We were visiting the North Gate.  We were told that the scene with two women fighting in “Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons” was filmed there.
