Within the Bell Tower is a collection of old Chinese artifacts from 20th century paintings and calligraphy to Tang-dynasty pottery. Several musical performances are held within the tower each day.
The Bell Tower makes a good starting point for a tour of Xi’An city. Climb up top to get a view of the central district of the city all directions. Nearby the bell tower are some of Xi’an’s most famous restaurants, a couple Starbucks, a post office, several hotels, the Bell Tower Hostel, train ticket booths, “travel information” booths, and at least one Bank of China.

Bell Tower - Landmark of Xi`an
May 08, 2009 — JMCBell Tower is a landmark of Xi`an, it is located in the city center of Xi`an, and the four main roads around it which are really ancient in my opinion. And you will never get lost since these four streets will be your direction `coz the name will tell you which way you going to, really clever when people named these streets, don`t they ?
And when you at the top the tower you will see the whole city and you will suddenly feel how great the city is `coz this city have been through a long long history and many dynasties.
