Marvin and I atop the city wall in Xian, China. This is a huge wall. If memory serves, it's about 8 miles all the way around the thing. You can rent the bikes, and get this, you have to leave a deposit of $30 (about 30 times more than the bike is worth) *OR* your passport (worth about $5000 on the black market). Hmmmmm.... lemme think about that for a moment.
