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.

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.)

Is it an old #fortification? A granary? Don't know, but it's in Riquewihr, #Alsace, and that's Grand Cru Schoenenbourg rising behind it. #vineyard June 2017
