Xian - Inside the City Walls

Bell Tower and the Drum Tower are inside the City Walls. The Bell Tower houses a bell that is rung at dawn and the Drum Tower houses a drum that is rung at dusk. The combined cost to get in to both is Y40. Musical performances are held inside both towers. Not worth it! Spend more time in the Muslim Quarter. It is far more interesting.

The Muslim Quarter is in the back streets heading north from the Drum Tower. The narrow streets are full of all sorts of shops. The Muslim Quarter is a great place to buy gifts and souvenirs. They are all fake.
