The Bell Tower in Xi'an is the most well preserved out of any ancient city in China. The Bell Tower was built in 1384 in the Yingxiang Temple by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to warn the city of any invaders. Presently the tower holds a smaller bell than the original, which is not in the Forest of Stone Steles Museum. At night, there are lanterns hanging from the tower that illuminate it and its surroundings. In the past, cars were allowed to travel underneath the tower arches, but now it is closed off to all but pedestrians.
