The bell and drum tower in Xi'an is its landmark building, not only in the center of the ancient city, but also magnificent, impressive. I first came to Xi'an 20 years ago to live near the drum tower, when the surrounding is very lively, various snacks make me so far unforgettable.

It is worth seeing. Xi’an Drum Tower is built on a square base with a brick-wood structure and a double eaves on the top. The total height is 36 meters and covers an area of 1,377 square meters. There are stairs that can spiral upward. The eaves are covered with dark green glazed tiles, the inside of the building is pasted with gold and painted, painted with carved beams, and there is a gilt roof on the top. It is a landmark building in Xi'an.

[Xi’an Drum Tower] It was built in the thirteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1380). In the old days, a giant drum was placed on the upper floor. It was called the Drum Tower every day to tell the time. It is a typical Ming Dynasty building that has been repaired and protected many times after 1949. In 1996, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the State Council. Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower is the collective name of Bell Tower and Drum Tower. It is the so-called "morning bell and evening drum", but it is not about ringing the bell in the morning and drumming at night. Instead, ring the bell in the morning and then the drum, and in the evening, the drum first and then the bell. [Bell Tower and Drum Tower] These two towers were built in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to move the capital to Xi'an. He sent Prince Zhu Biao to investigate and built the Bell and Drum Tower according to the standards of the imperial capital. The prince Zhu Biao successfully completed the task given by his father and returned to Nanjing to present a map of Shaanxi, but he fell ill and died soon after. The white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, and he lost his beloved son in his later years. Zhu Yuanzhang was hit hard. Since then, Xi'an has become a scar in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and the transfer of the capital is not mentioned.
