About the Bell Tower of Xi'an
The Bell Tower of Xi'an is a brick and timber tower in central Xi'an, China, raised in 1384, early in the Ming dynasty. It stands where four streets, running east, west, south and north, meet, and it ranks among China's grandest bell towers of its kind. The Tang-dynasty Jingyun Bell left the tower in 1953 for the Stele Forest Museum, and a replica arrived in 1997.
It began at the Yingxiang Temple on Guangji Street, roughly a kilometer from the present location. In 1582 Gong Yuxian, a Shaanxi investigating censor, had it moved; the pedestal was rebuilt while the original material stayed in the tower. Repairs followed in 1699, 1740 and 1840, and on October 10, 1939 a Japanese air raid caused serious damage.
The square base covers 1,377 m² (14,820 sq ft); from ground to top the tower measures 36 m, including an 8.6 m pedestal. The tower opened to visitors in 1984, and in November 1996 it joined the national key cultural relics protection units. Its earlier role was to announce the time of day.
