Bell Tower, Drum Tower is known as "Sister Tower", "Wenwu Tower", both of which were built in the Ming Dynasty, and have a history of more than 620 years. The so-called morning bell and evening drum tower, which faces the bell tower in the west, was built in the thirteenth year of Zhu Yuanzhang Hongwu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was built four years earlier than the bell tower. It was rebuilt twice in the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty and in the fifth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. Upstairs, the original side of the huge drum is called "Drum Tower" because it beats drums every day. After years of vicissitudes, now the giant drum has long disappeared, but the Yugu Tower stands tall. Antique performance "morning bell and evening drum" - "Since 2007, Xi'an bell and drum tower began to hold antique performance activities "morning bell and evening drum". Every day, at 9 am, 12 noon and 3 p.m., Jingyun bell on Xi'an bell tower rings 24 times respectively; at 6 p.m., the 24 solar terms on the drum tower first ring in unison, and then the drum sounds 24 times to announce the evening. This marked the restoration of Xi'an's "morning bell, evening drum" timekeeping system, which had disappeared for more than 100 years.

    Because you can make an appointment, it is very convenient to use. I hope you must also use it. Up high overlooking the scenery below, I am in a good mood. Relaxed and happy. Really like it.

    You can see Huimin Street in the north of the Drum Tower, and the clock tower in the northwest. It is worth a visit to friends who come to Xi'an for the first time. The whole Drum Tower is divided into two floors, and the view on the second floor will be better.

    The teacher explained very specific and detailed, and the teacher's historical knowledge is also very profound, so that we have a new understanding of the past history, and have worked hard to explain a lot of extended knowledge to me and my family, thank you very much, I hope to hear the teacher's explanation next time.

    西安钟楼和古代一样,历史悠久,有着悠远的历史和传奇。历史从古代开始就在此地写下了不朽的篇章。来到西安,最不可错过的一定是西安钟楼这个经历了千年风风雨雨的历史圣殿。西安钟楼放眼望去,有着悠久的历史传承,有着由红砖砌成的深厚底蕴。它是一座融合了阴阳五行的放射结构,是多变的时间轴和经历的证明。

    To be honest, it feels like it is just like an ancient building in the city center. It is a bit disappointing, and the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower are almost the same. It feels like there is no need to see it. It is not recommended to buy a ticket to go in and see it outside.

    The bell-making performance of the Drum Tower is still worth seeing, but each time is short, it is best to pass in advance. The Bell and Drum Tower in the rain during the day is solemn, and the night view at night is very bright.
