The East Gate, known as Changle Gate, is one of the four main gates of the Xi’an City Wall
and has long served as an important eastern entrance to the ancient city. Historically, this
gate connected Xi’an with eastern regions and trade routes, making it a key point of
movement and defense.
Today, Changle Gate allows visitors to experience a quieter and more traditional section of
the city wall. It offers a balanced mix of historical architecture, local surroundings, and
scenic wall-top views.
