Xi'an Bell Tower - South Gate

Step into Xi'an Bell Tower-South Gate and be transported to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty! This 600-year-old bell tower stands at the city's heart, offering panoramic views of four radiating avenues from its top. When illuminated at night, the golden-glazed roof shines like a jewel. The South Gate (Yongningmen), one of the best-preserved ancient gates, hosts cultural markets beneath its massive walls and historical reenactments of imperial ceremonies. Don't miss the nearby Muslim Quarter's roujiamo (Chinese burger) and lamb paomo soup for an authentic taste of Chang'an!
