The Bell Tower of Xi'an

The Bell Tower of Xi'an was constructed during the early Ming Dynasty in 1384 AD (1927 BE), approximately 641 years ago, which coincides with the Uthong Dynasty period in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Located at the heart of Xi'an, the tower features a square base and is built with a combination of brick and wood, standing nearly 40 meters tall. Inside the tower, there is a large bronze bell cast during the Tang Dynasty around 711 AD (1245 BE). The bell is 2.47 meters tall and weighs an impressive 6,500 kilograms.
