The two-story building was made of wood The Drum Tower is made of wood with a height of 46.7meters. On its second floor there originally were 25 drums. Among them, there were one large drum and 24 smaller drums.
Originally built for musical reasons, it was later used to announce the time and is now a tourist attraction.
One happy family.
There's a railing separating the stairs in the middle.
The railing helped me a lot in climbing up and down the Drum Tower.
Performance just about to start when we reached the top. It was very loud.
Most of the tourist were enjoying the drum performance but I stood far behind due to the loudness.
Closet incense holder.
Here's another piece.
First drum and all worn out now.
The drums are beaten hourly for the tourists in Beijing.
