Whenever you come to Xi’an, do not miss a trip to the time-honored Bell Tower and Drum Tower. Standing there for nearly 1,000 years, the two towers are the witnesses of Xi’an history. Modern society does not destroy the antique beauty of the towers. On the contrary, the two towers, decorated by dazzling neon lights, now present different charm at night.
