The Xi'an Bell Tower is the largest and most well-preserved of the many bell towers left over from ancient China. The drum tower is on the northwest side of the bell tower, and in ancient times, they jointly performed the duty of telling the time, alarming and issuing signals to open and close the city gate.

After years of wind and frost, the Bell and Drum Tower has suffered from different degrees of diseases, helping it to "prolong life and prolong life" and not "make a big move"
