西安钟楼

Standing on the Xi ´an Bell Tower, we can see the north, south, east and west city gates.

站在西安钟楼上啊，东南西北四座城门都能看见。

Many documents have recorded that Bell Tower in Xi ´an can date back to Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty.

大量文献报道西安钟楼始于明代洪武年间，距今600多年。

So, Bell Tower in xi ´an has been 1300 years, the longest existing one in Chinese history, and also the biggest and most complete one.

因而西安钟楼已有1300年历史，是中国现存历史最悠久的钟楼，也是规模最大，最完整的钟楼。

Nowadays , there is a performance simulating the forms in ancient time that Jingyun Bell will ring 24 times at 9,12,15 o´clock every day .

近日，西安钟鼓楼开始举行“晨钟暮鼓”仿古表演活动，每日9时、12时、15时，西安钟楼上的景云钟（复制品）分别鸣响24声；

The Bell Tower is an ancient structure in its own right.

西安钟楼本身就是一座古建筑。
