Trip Moments Recommendations

Geographical Center of Ancient China! 🇨🇳

#timetotravel I had the opporunity to see Xian's Bell tower thrice and I always get to see it since I was also touring family and friends around. This bell tower is more beautiful at night as it lights up but it is beautiful anyway no matter what time of the day it is. It is near all the other tourist attractions in Xian so you can definitely drop by here and admire its beauty. You can go inside as well if that is what you prefer for only 35 rmb. Enjoy! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #belltower #xian #historical #culture

Xian art gallery

Bell Tower of Xi'an

Location: Bell Tower, the center of Xi'an. Also known as Zhong Lou. Getting there: Take line 2 subway to Zhong Lou station. This landmark is in the very center of Xi'an. It is located between the north and south gate of the city wall. A short walk from Muslim street, this is a large roundabout area where you can admire this traditional building. You can pay 35 RMB to get inside and get a fine view of Xi'an from the top. I enjoy going to the City Wall and go to Drum Tower (both nearby) to photograph Bell Tower. There are shopping malls nearby to enjoy food and drink too. #belltower #xian

If you really into architectures, you would like Xi’an

The historic Bell Tower from early Ming dynasty. I love how the city built its roads and new buildings around the Bell Tower. A perfect example of preserving history while developing the city.

the Bell tower is at the very heart of this beautiful and authentic city of Xi'An. it serves as an orientation to the airport shuttle bus so If you don't know where this particular shuttle bus goes to - just ask whether it goes to Xi'an Bell tower. if so - you will go straight to the city center. the shuttle bus actually stops a bit further - at the gate if the bell tower hotel but it's within 5 minutes walk to Subway station and to various public transits #xian #xianbelltower #happynewyear

📍The Bell Tower, Xi’an I prefer Xi’an bell tower at night. The light was so eye catchy😍 I came around bell tower almost everyday during night. my hostel was around that area. The thing is i never made it inside. Me and my cousin were busy going to places that further away and forgot about this beauty. If only this place opened at night.. #givethanks #historicallandmarks

西安， Xi'an is home of the Terracotta Warriors constructed to accompany the tomb of China's First Emperor as an afterlife guard. Xi'an has a modern style with old City walls. It has been the capital over 13 imperial dynasties from about 3,000 to 1,000 years ago. It has a long and storied history, which is how it came to be called the fountainhead of civilization for China. The city centre revolves around the Muslim quarter and the famous Muslim food street, which is always crowded with hustle, bustle and a wide variety of delicacies. It was like a "designer wear fashion show" to watch the colorful and stylish scarves of Chinese muslim women. I have been to Xi'an 3 times and would love to go again.#xian #food #architecture

Belongs to Xi'an's "Xi'an City Walk"

Xi'an always exudes a profound sense of culture and humanity. As you genuinely traverse through its history, you can subtly perceive a connection that transcends time and space. 👍Recommended: Yongning Gate City Wall 👍Recommended: Xi'an Stele Forest Museum 👍Recommended: Shuyuan Street On this journey, one can witness the central axis and the cultural humanity of the four districts of Xi'an's ancient city. It feels as if the blocks from abroad have originated from the markets of Xi'an. Perhaps this is the charm of a city that has been the capital of thirteen dynasties.

Xi'an, Shaanxi | Bell and Drum Towers Lingering between the morning bells and evening drums

The Drum Tower of Xi'an was built in the 13th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1380), by the Marquis of Changxing Geng Bingwen and the then Prefect of Xi'an Wang Zongzhou. Its history predates the Bell Tower by several years. The Drum Tower has undergone multiple renovations throughout history, with significant repairs carried out in the 38th year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1699) and the 5th year of Qianlong (1740). Particularly after the renovation in the 5th year of Qianlong, Zhang Kai, the governor of Shaanxi, imitated the handwriting of Emperor Qianlong to write the four characters 'Wen Wu Sheng Di' (meaning 'A Place Flourishing in Civil and Military Affairs'), which were made into a huge plaque and hung on the north side of the Drum Tower, and these characters are still the focus of attention today. The Bell Tower and Drum Tower of Xi'an are the largest and best-preserved of their kind among the existing similar buildings in China. The term 'Bell and Drum Towers' refers to both the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, which were ancient Chinese time-telling structures. The Bell Tower is a pavilion-style building with a double-eaved, three-tiered, four-angled spire roof, while the Drum Tower was a building in ancient cities where large drums were placed. They were used to sound alarms by beating the drums or to report the time at regular intervals. The rational architectural structure, magnificent colors, and elegant decorative components of the Bell and Drum Towers all possess rich and distinctive national cultural characteristics, making them iconic buildings of Xi'an.

What's worth visiting in Xi'an?

Visiting Xi'an, you can easily get around by subway🚇. The first day, I went to Sajinqiao, a snack street loved by the locals. The snacks here are good and cheap, and there's a wide variety! - Recommended snacks 1. Persimmon cake 2. Roujiamo🥙 3. Hulatang (the takeout is also incredibly tasty😋) 4. Grilled skewers! (Choose the ones skewered on iron sticks, not the wooden ones) 5. Steamed cake, a local favorite made from glutinous rice - You must visit the Bell Tower in the city center at night 👍. The night view really has a great atmosphere. If possible and you have enough time, definitely go for a Hanfu makeover, it truly gives you the instant feeling of being back in the Tang Dynasty! At night, bring a small light for better lighting. - For the Hanfu makeover, make sure to allow enough time! If you go on holidays, you will definitely have to queue and it can disrupt your schedule! You can book online in advance🌹. - Datang Everbright City🌆 Don't miss the evening performances here! If you go too late, they'll be over! Check the schedule in advance. - We missed it! 😣 Datang Everbright City's food is just so-so, Sajinqiao has the best food😋. - Come to Xi'an and be a Tang Dynasty princess for once! /

Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower

The ancient Chang'an has a long history of 'using bells and drums to tell the morning'. As the saying goes, 'when the night leak is exhausted, the drum sounds, and when the day leak is exhausted, the bell rings', the morning bell and the evening drum are the symbols of ancient Chinese city life. Therefore, when you come to the center of Xi'an, you must see the Ming Dynasty Bell and Drum Tower. The Bell and Drum Towers echo each other, which is spectacular. Tang Dynasty poet Li Xian's poem 'The morning bell and the evening drum do not reach the ears, the bright moon and the lonely cloud always hang the feelings' is a precise description of the two towers. From the Bell and Drum Tower, you can look at the Muslim Street, especially when the night falls, the brightly lit Bell and Drum Tower, as if showing the style of Xi'an, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, in front of your eyes

Xi'an

First stop in Xi'an, you can choose to stay around the Drum Tower. During the day, you can visit Shuyuanmen, Muslim Street, Xiangzi Temple, there are a lot of delicious food, the average cost is about thirty to forty, the specialty souvenirs are also very cost-effective. In the evening, you can take photos and check in around the Drum Tower and Bell Tower. Xi'an Bell Tower.

Visited the Xi'an Bell Tower, Yongning Gate, and Small Wild Goose Pagoda on the fourth day of the lunar new year, a great free place to visit in Xi'an

During the Spring Festival, the South Street between Xi'an Yongning Gate and the Bell Tower is crowded with tourists, and you can often see pleasing Hanfu girls passing by. They mostly get their makeup done at the Hanfu shops on West Street west of the Bell Tower. The Yongning Gate, built during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, is majestic and broad, and the Bell Tower, built during the Ming Hongwu period, is towering and tall, fully displaying the charm of the ancient city of Chang'an! I didn't make it to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda yesterday, but I made an early reservation for the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, queued up at the door, and got in as I wished. Note that you must enter the park within the reservation time. The Small Wild Goose Pagoda, which was damaged by an earthquake, is a relic of the Tang Dynasty. The tower body is beautiful and soft, yet strong, which is completely different from the Ying County Wooden Tower I saw in Shanxi. The Xi'an Museum next to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda is also very good. There are many genuine cultural relics unearthed from ancient tombs. Today's attractions are free, but you can experience the prosperity of the ancient city and the architectural culture of the Tang Dynasty up close. It costs 30 yuan to climb the Bell Tower, and there is a New Year's lantern show on Yongning Gate for 100 yuan, but seeing the dense crowd and my limited time, I decided not to spend money to join in the fun!
