Xi'an China: The Bell Tower II

The Bell tower, the views from the top over the city were nice. The details in the eaves, doors, and floors were interesting. The best part though was the musical performance before we left. The music of Xian is considered to be "fossil" music. The instruments and playing style hasn't changed much since before the Tang dynasty. It has to be seen to be understood I guess.

Xi'an China: The Bell Tower

Okay, I think I have teased certain followers enough. So today is going to be part of my travels to China. Different city and different sites. For example the Bell Tower in Old Xi'an. I can't really describe it decently. Good thing most pictures are worth 1,000 words.
