Xi'an Bell Tower is the iconic symbol of the ancient city, located right at the geometric center of Xi'an. First built in the Ming Dynasty, it has a history of over 600 years.

With exquisite traditional Chinese architectural style, the tower features a grand wooden structure, layered flying eaves and gorgeous painted decorations. In ancient times, it struck the bell at dawn to mark time, open city gates and govern the city's daily rhythm.

Standing amid bustling modern streets, it perfectly blends time-honored history with urban vitality. As one of the best-preserved ancient bell towers in China, it carries the splendid culture of Chang'an, attracts countless tourists at home and abroad, and remains a precious cultural treasure of Shaanxi.

Bell Tower and Drum Tower served as authority timekeeping, the public clock, administrative signal tower, and emergency alarm center of the city.
