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.

    ​ Drum Tower and the City Building are not high, you can only watch the distance on the first floor. The third floor is some tables and chairs. There are also performances in the building (with a performance schedule), but we didn't catch up. Tickets must be purchased in advance ​

    The Drum Tower is at the exit of Huimin Street. The clock tower has to get off the underground passage of the subway. If you come out, there are too many exits. It is really difficult to go where to go. At night, there are young ladies wearing Hanfu skirts on the road. Because it is only two towers with time reporting functions, it is not big to go to WeChat. There will be a performance of the ladies and sisters in the Drum Tower for seven or eight minutes. The other is some restoration relics of the two buildings, etc. If you are in a hurry, you can look outside without going upstairs.
