During the winter vacation this year, my parents and I returned to our hometown of Xi’an, where it was already snowing heavily. Trees, buildings, grass, streets and everything else are covered in white silver.

My father and I visited the Bell Tower in Xi'an. The bell tower is square, and its exterior is made of the same gray college bricks as the city walls. The bell tower consists of three floors, with four small roofs arching like waves on the four sides, and a large pyramid-shaped roof in the middle, which looks like It's like covering it with a golden hat. The tiles on the roof are all green, and the walls and eaves are all red. My father and I went up to the second floor of the bell tower. Looking from a distance, we saw four streets with the bell tower as the center, extending straight to the east, west, south, and north in the four directions. It looked very spectacular and majestic.

The cars on the street are constantly passing by, and the neon lights of the shops on both sides are shining, making the city more beautiful and beautiful. There are many ancient daily necessities and ancient musical instruments on display inside. There are also many lifelike murals carved on it, which are very beautiful.

The surrounding eaves are covered with very large red lanterns, adding a strong festive atmosphere. There is a big clock hanging in a corner of the second floor. The staff told us that it is made of iron and is a morning bell used by ancient people to tell the time. I also saw from a distance a very similar shape to the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower. The Bell Tower and the Drum Tower stand like twin brothers in the center of Xi'an.

Ancient Xi’an is really colorful and I love my hometown.
