Visit the Drum Tower to experience the New Year atmosphere of old Beijing

Drum Tower Bell and Drum Towers Yandai Xiejie Street Xicheng District, Beijing On the fifth day of the first lunar month, I went to the Drum Tower to experience the New Year atmosphere of old Beijing. The Drum Tower is a landmark of old Beijing, where you can still find the appearance of old Beijing and feel the life scenes of childhood. This place really brings the New Year atmosphere to the fullest, just like in the New Year paintings of old Beijing. The New Year atmosphere of old Beijing in my memory is eating sugar-coated haws, visiting the Drum Tower, and feeling the unique New Year atmosphere. The Drum Tower is definitely one of the landmarks with the strongest New Year atmosphere in Beijing, with red walls and green tiles, full of ancient charm, which is simply the standard color of old Beijing. Under the Drum Tower, visit Yandai Xiejie Street to experience the New Year atmosphere of old Beijing, which is none other than Yandai Xiejie Street. In the early years, Yandai Xiejie Street was a high-end commercial area for nobles and officials. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, it reached its peak, especially with the emergence of two shops mainly engaged in smoking utensils - "Tong Tai Sheng" and "Shuang Sheng Tai", which became famous, so the people called this street Yandai Xiejie Street. In Beijing, if you want to find the most lively place during the New Year, Yandai Xiejie Street is definitely a good choice. This street not only has a strong traditional style of old Beijing, but also is full of strong New Year atmosphere. The Drum Tower is a great place to experience traditional Beijing culture. Whether you like history, culture, or lively fireworks, you won't be disappointed here.
