Xi'an Drum Tower stands in the heart of the city, not far from the Bell Tower, forming a famous ancient landmark pair. First built in the Ming Dynasty, it has a history of more than 600 years.

It adopts classic Chinese wooden architecture with grand double-layered structure, elegant flying eaves and delicate colored paintings. In ancient times, huge drums inside were beaten at dusk to tell time and close the city gates.

Surrounded by the lively Muslim Quarter, the tower combines profound historical charm with strong local folk customs. Well-preserved through centuries, it witnesses the prosperity of ancient Chang'an and carries rich traditional culture. Today, it remains a must-see attraction, showing the unique elegance of Xi'an's ancient architecture to visitors from all over the world.
