Xi’an City Wall
The city wall of Xi’an is fully restored and it is possible to cycle the 12km around the city on this wall, which we did on our last afternoon here.
Found some crickets singing outside shops in Xi’an, the traditional way of enticing people in to come and buy. Also, outside vault number 1 of the terracotta army Cam came across a dead cicada on the ground. It looks like a cryptotympana atrata, one of the big ones, but I can’t be sure yet. Hoping to make a high res scan of it as I doubt I will be able to take it into Australia.
