About this place

The Bell Tower was originally built in the 14th century and it was rebuilt and moved to the center of the city in 1582. Even now, it is considered to be the center of the city.  
 
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.
