Alarm of the city

Long before when no technological advancements happened, no industrial revolution happened how human beings were able to wake up on time and go to work. Well, there were many ways followed; like listening to your body's circadian rhythm 🪘, sunrise 🌄 and probably even cock's making sounds. But with little more of invention during the Han dynasty the Bell 🔔 and Drum 🥁 towers were constructed to announce to people the morning wake up call using Bell and dusk call using drum. This place is situated quite near to the Forbidden city in a small place and must visit place if you're in Beijing. Also you have provision to go up and see some performances🤩. It happens every two hours, so don't miss it !! #belltower #wakeupcall #beijingtrip#urbanexplorer
