Xi'an!!!
The Bell Tower of Xi'an is located at the intersection of the four main streets within the Ming city wall in the center of Xi'an city. It is the largest and best-preserved bell tower among the existing ones in China. It was built in the 17th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1384), originally at the intersection of Guangji Street, facing the Drum Tower. In the 10th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1582), it was moved to its current location.
The Muslim Quarter in Xi'an is a famous food and culture district, referred to as 'Fang Shang' by locals and 'The Muslim Quarter' by tourists. Beiyuanmen Street, where the Muslim Quarter is located, was originally an official district during the Qing Dynasty. In 1992, Beiyuanmen Street was renovated, changing the asphalt roads and brick sidewalks to bluestone pavements, and two-story buildings were constructed on both sides in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In September 1993, it became an antique cultural tourism street. Since this area is a gathering place for Hui people, it is thus named. As one of the representatives of Xi'an's local culture, the Muslim Quarter is a collective name for several streets in the Hui district, including Beiguangji Street, Beiyuanmen, Xiyangshi, Dapiyuan, Huajue Lane, Sajinqiao, and others. Located behind the Bell and Drum Towers, it is free to visit, and the streets within the district have a strong Islamic style, with the Halal Food City, Ethnic Shopping Center, and mosques, creating an interesting contrast with the Hui living area.

Xi'an Bell Tower, Xi'an's landmark building, since I came to Daxi'an, I climbed up and took a look. There are introductions to the source of the bell tower, and some components left over from the old building at that time, such as tiles, tiles and the like.
Xi'an Bell Tower has Qi Baishi paintings, all of which are true. The most famous is Qi Baishi painting shrimps. There is a performance in the Drum Tower. It’s good to go to the Bell Tower at night, it’s very popular. During the day, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, and the Muslim Street will be visited together.
What I especially want to say is that I have been to Xi'an for a few days. I have been to Xi'an Bell Tower (where to book tickets online). After I arrived at the scenic spot, I couldn't find the booking information, and I couldn't get in at the entrance. Just when we were in a hurry, a handsome guy on duty came, asked what the situation was, and immediately helped us check the information, or no. Then we found a POS machine and lost the mobile phone number or no. He thought about it and wanted to say that he lost the ID number to try it. The result was found soon. I was really touched at the time. I didn't know what to say to thank him and left 2 photos for everyone. Like this handsome guy! Like the people of Xi'an!
Xi'an Bell Tower, located in the center of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, is one of the most complete and functional ancient bell towers in China. As an ancient city symbol, the bell tower witnessed the historical changes of Xi'an. I was fortunate to visit the Xi'an Bell Tower on a recent trip, and I was impressed by the magnificent scenery and long history.
Visit the 4th floor of the nearby mall to get the best views of the tower, especially at night. I haven’t entered the inside of the tower.
It's worth going, too many places are fascinating, in addition to the significance of the big beauty is still beautiful! Visit with a feeling of reverence and love for the motherland! Xi'an tour ten miles lights a prosperous life I wish the age of the first literati politicians to respect historical figures so much, let me can not help but for the scenery of that era! Zhou Qin, Han and Tang, the history of the river shining countless pearls, I seem to have entered the scene of life before the millennium! Taste local cuisine noodles, wontons, and snacks, as if the tongue is beating on the thick mark of the years! Coming to Xi'an feels like crossing the time and space tunnel, as if returning to ancient times. Each place is full of mystery and charm.
The clock tower is a must-check place. The lighted clock tower feels different from the clock tower during the day. The clock tower is named after the iron clock hanging upstairs. Xi'an Bell Tower is a magnificent building with strong Chinese characteristics, and it is also the largest and most complete clock tower that China can currently see.
