Bell Tower of Xi'an

the place is just beautiful.. reached there at 530 pm so couldnt climb up.. but we can still enjoy around.. there is a muslim food street just besides it.. just beautiful place to go and have food after.. just enjoyed the lightings and foods were delicious.. the place is a lively place.. loved it to be there.. u can take a metro train back to wherever u want to go coz the station is just near by

Adorable place, Even it was crowded with too many peaople but I did enjoy the crowd because of its historical items, I really like it, you can buy tickets underpass of Zhonglou subway station by automatic machines (ctrip app). I enjoy the old teapots, and the old soldiers statues. It was very nice place, I personnally high recommend it.

Nit that impressive. A bit confusing how to get there. Inside there is just an exhibition which explains a bit the history of the tower. The problem is that most of that stuff is in Chinese.

Nice to see during the day, but spectacular at night. Underneath is a circular tunnel to get pedestrians through the intersection of the road above, and has access to the metro. Did not go inside the tower itself.

街上很热闹，空气比想像中好很多。西安天气怡人。当地人热情友善，街度整洁

西安钟楼是中国古代遗留下来众多钟楼中形制保存最完整的一座。西安是明代西北军政重镇，所以无论从建筑规模、历史价值或艺术价值各方面来说，它都居全国同类建筑之冠。钟楼始建于明太祖朱元璋洪武十七年（公元1384年），因楼上悬挂铁钟一口而得名。初建时，地址在今广济街口，与鼓楼对峙。

纵然，兵马俑使西安这座城市驰名中外。但实际上最能代表西安这座十三朝古都的确实是钟楼。古语所讲的晨钟暮鼓里的钟就是西安钟楼上的钟。钟楼位于西安市中心，名城墙内东西南北四条大街的交汇处，也是唐长安城中轴线上。钟楼是按照帝王皇家的建制设置建造的，三层檐四角攒顶的形式象征了故宫三大殿。古时楼上一口大钟用于报警之用。所以说它不仅是地理上的中心，也象征着权利中心。🎯推荐理由🌈它是中国现存钟楼中形制最大、保存最完整的一座。🌈西安钟楼上的门扇槁窗雕镂精美繁复，是古代艺术精品。🌈钟楼晨钟暮鼓表演重现了古代仪仗的气势和威严。🎯tips▶️日常门票35元，有钟鼓楼套票50元。▶️早上八点有晨钟表演，时间大概15分钟。▶️钟楼上有编钟表演。▶️如今钟楼上的钟已经不是有着诸多神秘色彩的“景云钟”，如果想看原件要到西安碑林博物馆。🎯交通市中心，交通方便。地铁🚇2号线到钟楼站。

箫声咽，秦娥梦断秦楼月。秦楼月，年年柳色，灞陵伤别。乐游原上清秋节，咸阳古道音尘绝。音尘绝，西风残照，汉家陵阙。 我是因这首《忆秦娥》去的西安，特意请假去的，玩了一个星期，不能定义成旅游，算是度假吧，因为我就没去几个景点玩过，天天待青旅里面，和同是住客的朋友们谈谈历史，说说古人，和老板论论花草，还打打台球，真的很惬意。个人是很喜欢这种有历史文化积淀的城市的，去了西安之后就想着要是在那安家该有多好。几千年的传承，西安人民有着一套自己的生活方式，这让我这个江南人有着无穷的好奇之心。晚上的钟楼是最好看的，大唐不夜城好像是穿越了时空，让人仿佛间就看到了贵妃醉酒，太白挥诗。我还不是很了解西安，我想我会去了解她的。

钟鼓楼是西安的代表性建筑，周边一带的建筑甚至因此限高，必须低于钟楼的高度36米。钟楼和鼓楼距离很近 （套票60元，游览约1h），登临钟楼楼上可以俯瞰长安四条笔直的大街。鼓楼后面就是回民街回坊，可以走到里面（大皮院、学习巷）去吃当地特色。其实这里最美的是傍晚，夜幕降临，华灯初上，灯光将钟楼、鼓楼照得璀璨，很适合拍照哟！

学鼓文化，赏长安日景。以“文武盛地“、“声闻于天”为匾，楼的南北列出带二十四节气名称的鼓，楼内介绍鼓文化。三楼为顶层，北可俯瞰回民街，南可远眺永宁门。
