Summary

Description
English: Photo of second story balcony of guardhouse atop Xi'an, China, city wall outer gate. Photo taken Richard Chambers, AAA Yangtze Sampler tour, May, 2004.

This photo provides an idea of the construction of the balcony which overlooks the courtyard between the inner and outer gate of the Xi'an city wall.

To reach the balcony, one must climb a stone staircase from the floor of the courtyard to the top of the city wall. This staircase can be seen to the left in the photo shown in the following link of the courtyard side of the outer gate.

See photo of the outer gate taken from the inner gate showing the courtyard and the guardhouse atop the outer gate.

Once atop the city wall, you can walk into the ground floor of the guardhouse and climb a stairway from the ground floor to the second story of the guardhouse from which the balcony can be reached.

See photo taken from balcony end showing exterior of the city wall and moat.
