Shaanxi Provincial History Museum The Shaanxi History Museum is an elegant building complex that attracts many visitors. It is located half a mile northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The complex assumes the architectural features of ancient Chinese palaces and courtyards. It houses 113,000 historical and cultural artifacts unearthed in Shaanxi. To meet the need of high-level cultural exchanges, the museum has built a computer-controlled international symposium hall where simultaneous interpretation can be conducted in six different languages.
City Wall The Xi'an City Wall is not only the most complete city wall that has survived in China, but it's also one of the largest and most complete ancient military systems of defense in the world. The city walls here were actually built on the fortifications of the Tang Forbidden City. The military defense facilities here including the city wall, city moat, drawbridges, watchtowers, corner towers, parapet walls and gate towers once made up a complete city defense system. Many sections have since been destroyed and the city walls are incomplete.
Bell Tower The Bell Tower is a stately traditional building that marks the geographical center of the ancient capital. From this important landmark extend East, South, West and North Streets, connecting the Tower to the East, South, West and North Gates of the City Wall of the Ming Dynasty. The wooden tower, which is the largest and best-preserved of its kind in China, is 36 meters (118 feet) high. It stands on a brick base 35.5 meters (116.4 feet) long and 8.6 meters (28.2 feet) high on each side.
