On our second day on the Silk Road, we explored the Drum and Bell Tower, and the Great Mosque. These three places are very historic in the city. The Drum and Bell Tower were used to alert the city during the day and night, letting the citizens know they were safe in the city walls. The Great Mosque is the oldest and largest Mosque in China.
