Xi’an City Wall, Xi’an, China. May 2014, iPhone 5s.
When you walk along Xi’an’s nine-mile long city wall, the highrises on the horizon come closer and closer until you can almost touch them, and then the wall makes a 90-degree turn and there’s a fresh set of highrises in the distance.

The constant drizzle was wearing us down, and the light was terrible for taking photos. Yet, it was pretty spectacular, hiking along a nine mile-long fortification wall that, usually packed with Chinese tourists, was now all but abandoned.

More of Xi’an’s city wall, which is almost nine miles long. Xi’an itself is pretty relaxed, compared to Beijing, and it has an actual night life. (In Beijing, except for touristy Sanlitun, everything's dead-as-a-doornail after approximately 2100 hours.)
