Battle of the Towers

#urbanexplorer #tripblazers #beijing There is some debate with Beijing locals over which tower is the more beautiful - the expansive red and blue drum tower or the delicate stone bell tower. Thankfully it’s very easy to visit the square between both and make your own decision! Whilst the drum tower gets more visitors annually, we preferred the peaceful bell tower with its simplicity and layers.
