Xi'an Bell Tower

Last Updated: September 18, 1998
Most cities in China have both a bell tower and a drum tower. We saw the Beijing towers from the city bus, but didn't stop for a closer look. In Xi'an, the towers are very close to the South Gate to the inner city, and we passed by often. On the guide book recommendation, we did not enter either one. However, we saw the very end of a ceremony at the Drum Tower.

At the entrance.
