Xi'an Bell Tower is located in the center of Xi'an, the intersection of four streets from east to west to north in the Ming City Wall. It is the largest and most complete in China's existing bell tower. It was built in the 17th year of Ming Taizu Hongwu (1384), and was first built at the intersection of Guangji Street and is opposite to the Drum Tower.
I have stayed at the all-season hotel before, and the experience is good, so this trip to Xi'an continues to choose the whole season, which is as good as ever. I booked a superior bed room and upgraded the zero-pressure superior bed room on the night of my stay. The windows can be opened for ventilation, the room is on the sunny side, and the curtains are opened every morning to dry, which is very comfortable in this season. The room is intimately equipped with tea and small candies, which taste good.
There is a clock ancient music performance at a specific time. The clock displayed upstairs is a reprinted version. You can look at the Drum Tower when you go upstairs, but unfortunately you can't stay until the light time. There is also a display of ancient furniture in the exhibition hall upstairs. Downstairs is the pedestrian street, which leads directly to Huimin Street, it is worth going upstairs. Buy with Drum Tower tickets can be discounted RMB10.
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
I went in November and I have forgotten to write a review. ~ In simple terms, as long as the location of the Holiday Inn Express is convenient, I generally do not choose other hotels. Because my friend would arrive late, I originally set two room types separately. When I checked in, I directly picked up the family room for us. Thank you ~ It is really convenient to move without moving! ! Thank you all the hotel service staff, everyone is super nice ~ can't say it again, the location is really good! It is very convenient near the clock tower, breakfast is not bad, it is really convenient for a group day trip.
QR code admission is very convenient! The joint ticket between the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower is very good. The subway line 2 exit A is just over the underground passage. At night, watch the night view of the Bell Tower. During the day, go to the Bell Tower to understand the history and changes! Drum Tower has eight bell-making performances every day, 7 minutes of hearing enjoyment, if you want to get a good location, go half an hour in advance.
