Message from Luke Micheli

The Bell Tower of Xi'an, built in 1384 during the Ming Dynasty, is a significant symbol of the city. Standing tall at around 40 meters high, this grand structure houses ancient bronze-cast bells from the Tang Dynasty. Originally used for time reporting and news dissemination, it now serves as a popular tourist attraction where visitors can explore its historical and cultural significance. Legends surrounding the tower add an intriguing touch to its already impressive presence in Xi'an.
