Morning Rhythm.

The temple looking structure in the distance is the Drum Tower of Xi’an. Erected in 1380, it was stocked with a massive drum, struck at dawn and dusk, to signal the starting and ending of each day.
Along the upper floor lies a hall which hangs many large drums. Each was decorated with intricate and beautiful Chinese writing, which symbolises good fortune.
It really does add to the aesthetic of this diverse city.

Ancient China, meets Islam.
