Night views of Xi'an's ancient city wall
编者按：西安明城墙是中国现存规模最大、保存最完整的古代城垣。墙高12米，顶宽12-14米，底宽15-18米，轮廓呈封闭的长方形，周长13.74千米。城墙内人们习惯称为古城区，著名的西安钟楼、鼓楼就位于古城区中心。西安城墙主城门有四座：长乐门（东门），永宁门（南门），安定门（西门），安远门（北门），这四座城门也是古城墙的原有城门。
Editor's Note: Xi'an's City Wall is one of the oldest and best-preserved city walls in China and one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world. Construction of the first city wall of Xi'an began in 194 BC and continued for four years. The existing wall was started during the Ming Dynasty in 1370. The wall measures 12 meters high, 15-18 meters wide at the base and 12-14 meters wide at the top, and is 13.74 kilometers long. It has four main gates: Changle Gate in the east, Anding Gate in the west, Yongning Gate in the south and Anyuan Gate in the north.
