Xi'an Half Day City Tour

Since the Terra Cotta Army Museum tour takes up an entire day, visitors who extend their stay in Xi’An for half a day can experience all the history of the city itself. As the region’s capital and doorway to the Silk Road, Xi’an was one of the richest, most well-protected cities in all of China. The renowned Shaanxi History Museum introduces the visitor to area’s rich culture, from Emperor Qin Shihuang to the present day in this walled city.

You’ll end your tour with a visit to the exquisite Bell Tower. Standing at the crossing of the East, West, South, and North avenues in city proper, the Bell Tower is a symbol of Xi’an. The tower was originally built in 1348, toward the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and was moved to the present site in 1552, during the Ming Dynasty. It was rebuilt and enlarged during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). There used to be a huge iron bell hung in the tower, which was used to strike the hours. After the bell fell from its operating position it was placed on the northwest corner of base. The bell tower is a wooden structure topped with dark green tiles. It is a grand ancient building with traditional Chinese architectural features. From the top the Bell Tower, visitors can get a bird’s eye view of the surrounding areas and the building’s brightly-decorated eaves.
