Bell Tower of Xian
Location: Bell tower, Xian, Shaanxi, China
Entrance fee: Free
Date: February 6 & 22, 2022
The Bell Tower of Xian built in 1384 during Ming dynasty. It’s located in the center of the city.
There’s a legend about the Bell Tower. There was a huge underground snake, who was the cause of frequent earthquakes in the city. The Bell Tower was built to expel the Snake from the Chinese land. After its construction, the earthquake really stopped happening, and the tower was assigned with another functions. Every morning, the huge Bell Tower announced the start of the day to Xian citizens.
This place is very beautiful and it’s surrounded with shopping malls, cafes and restaurants. Muslim street is next to the Bell Tower. So you can go there, eat some local food and yummy snacks.

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.
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.
Xi'an Bell Tower is a very good attraction, with high historical research value, also has a very high viewing value, climbing the building to look at the city's architectural streets in the eyes. There is a modern manufacturing of ancient clocks (true products in the Beilin Museum), and some porcelain authentic products for everyone to taste.
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!
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.

Overall, it is OK, as long as you are not too noisy, because in the pedestrian street. Convenient transportation, go out is the subway, walk 2 minutes is the clock tower, walk to Huimin Street, do not have to worry about eating and drinking, I am afraid that you can't come out, the hotel is generally hygienic, I use my own sheets and quilts everywhere, so I don't care too much, but the cleaning attitude is very good, The front desk attitude is also very good
