Xi'an Drum Tower is one of the landmarks of Xi'an, a famous historical and cultural city. Located at the intersection of Zhonglou Road and East Street in the center of Xi'an, it is one of the most complete and unique ancient bell towers in China. The Drum Tower was built in the Ming Dynasty, up to 36 meters high, with three floors, with wooden structure as the main body, yellow glazed tiles covering the exterior wall, it looks solemn and simple. As one of Xi'an's landmarks, the Drum Tower contains a rich historical story behind it. In ancient times, the Drum Tower mainly has two main functions.
