Visited Xi'an in July 2021.

Xi’an is a large city and capital of Shaanxi Province in central China. Once known as Chang’an (Eternal Peace), it marks the Silk Road’s eastern end and was home to the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties' ruling houses. At archaeological sites in Xi’an’s surrounding plains are the famed Bingmayong (Terra Cotta Army), thousands of life-size, hand-molded figures buried with China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang.

Drum Tower

The Drum Tower of Xi'an located in the heart of Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province, Northwestern China, along with the Bell Tower is a symbol of the city. Erected in 1380 during the early Ming Dynasty (Hongwu era), it stands towering above the city center and offers incredible view of Xi'an. Inside the Drum Tower there is also a drum museum, where a variety of drums are on display, some of which can be dated back thousands of years. There is a drum show performed here every day. The top of the tower commands a panoramic view of the city. On the Drum Tower's first floor, lies a hall in which hang many large drums. Each is decorated with intrinsic and beautiful Chinese writing, which symbolises good fortune.

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

The Drum Tower, which is opposite to the clock tower, is one of the largest and most complete drum houses in the country. It was built four years earlier than the clock tower and has to be said to be one of the oldest places in Xi'an. The base of the base is a square brick structure, and the top is a scientific heavy-duty building. It is a national key cultural relic and one of the landmarks of Xi'an. Its a romantic thing to walk past the trail below the clock tower and listen to a piece of traditional music on the drum tower.
