Xi'an, China
Xi'an is one of China's most historically significant cities, and its well-preserved center is ideal for walking. The ancient city wall, one of the best preserved in China, forms a 14-kilometer loop that you can walk or cycle atop for panoramic views. Inside the walls, the Muslim Quarter buzzes with energy — narrow streets lined with halal food stalls, mosques, and souvenir shops. The Great Mosque, one of the largest in China, blends Chinese and Islamic architecture in a series of peaceful courtyards. The Bell and Drum Towers anchor the city center, while the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, built in 652 AD, stands in a park to the south. The Terracotta Warriors, a short drive from the city, are one of the world's greatest archaeological discoveries.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided Xi'an walking tour with audio narration. Use it to explore Terracotta Warriors Museum, Ancient City Wall, Muslim Quarter, plus hidden gems like Shuyuanmen Ancient Culture Street and Beilin Museum (Forest of Steles) without booking a group tour.
This Xi'an walking tour is built for travelers searching for a self-guided audio guide, a free walking route, or the Roamee app for Xi'an. Start with Terracotta Warriors Museum and Ancient City Wall, then branch into local context, photo spots, and neighborhood stories as you walk.

Walking atop the full city wall takes three to four hours — rent a bicycle at the South Gate to complete the loop more comfortably, especially in warm weather.
April through May and September through October offer mild weather and clear skies, avoiding the extreme summer heat and cold winters.
