Xi'an, Old Town

The Bell Tower, one of the most beautiful street scenes I've seen in China, is in the Old Town of Xi'an (Western Peace)



Xi'an is considered to be a premier tourist destination in China's middle-west. Because the Communist Party did not purposefully destroy the old town during Mao Zedong's tenure (unlike in Beijing, where only remnants survive), the Old Town is a sight to see. It is well cared for, with the ancient towers and modern landscaping existing peacefully side-by-side


Either the Bell or Drum Tower
