Xian Bell Tower and local streets











The Bell Tower marks the geographical center of the ancient capital. The Bell Tower of Xi'an, built in 1384 during the early Ming Dynasty, is a symbol of the city of Xian and one of the grandest of its kind in China. The Bell Tower also contains several large bronze-cast bells from the Tang Dynasty. The night and day shots displays the beauty of this magnificent building. The underground tunnels allow you street access to north, south, east and west sidewalks, where there is local shopping and more shopping.
