The Bell Tower and Drum Tower are located at the center of Xi'an, marking the geographical heart of the ancient city. The Bell Tower, built in 1384, is a magnificent Ming Dynasty structure where bells were rung at dawn. The Drum Tower, built in 1380, housed drums that were beaten at sunset. Together they served as the city's timekeeping system for centuries. Both offer panoramic views of Xi'an's four main avenues.
