It was presided over by Xuanzang to preserve the Buddhist scriptures and statues brought back to Chang'an from India via the Silk Road. Originally it had five stories, but was later expanded to nine. Inside the pagoda, some cultural relics are stored. There are four main city gates of the Xi'an City Wall: Changle Gate, Yongning Gate, Anding Gate, and Anyuan Gate. It is common to ascend the Ancient City Wall from Yongning Gate (South Gate). The existing Xi'an City Wall is a Ming Dynasty construction and is the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China. Walking around the Ancient City Wall is very comfortable, with lovely man-made facilities paired with the ancient wall, blending the old with the new.
