Photography Guide | Nanjing Drum Tower and Urban Architecture

Nanjing, this ancient capital with a long history, not only retains a profound cultural heritage, but also exudes the prosperity and vitality of a modern city. Standing in the city center, Nanjing Drum Tower is like a beacon of time, witnessing the city's vicissitudes and glorious history. Nanjing Drum Tower was first built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and was originally used for telling time and alarming. Today, this ancient building has become one of the landmarks of Nanjing. The majestic Drum Tower sparkles in the sun, and the quaint brick walls and flying eaves and brackets tell of hundreds of years of historical vicissitudes. Climbing up the Drum Tower, you can overlook the prosperous scene of the entire city and feel the unique charm of the fusion of ancient and modern times. Surrounding the Drum Tower, Nanjing’s modern buildings rise from the ground, with high-rise buildings standing side by side, showing the city’s booming development. The Zifeng Tower on the shore of Xuanwu Lake stands 450 meters high in the city skyline, like a sword pointing straight to the sky, symbolizing Nanjing's enterprising spirit and forward-looking spirit in the new era. The glass curtain wall of the building sparkles in the sun, contrasting with the surrounding cityscape and forming a magnificent urban picture.
