my favourite building




In my hometown ,city of XI an , a famous building located in the center of the city ,we call it "Bell tower". More than 1000 years ago, all the citizens lived in XI an have no watches and clocks ,so the king made a large bell in order to tell his citizens the exact time during the day by hitting the bell.
How time flies! 1000 years later ,the tower still stands on the earth ,but today ,it is for telling the time , but for the visiting .My friends and I often sit around it in the night ,watching the sky ,talking our future. Losts of travellers came here for knowing more history of china , but we just consider it as a symbol of our hometown.
Bell tower ,it is not a building ,but also a part of my life .
