The Drum Tower is a brick and wood structure, 34 meters tall, and is known as the 'sister tower' or 'civil and military tower' along with the Bell Tower because they both feature a double-eaved three-tiered pavilion-style architecture. Under the south and north eaves of the Drum Tower, there is a plaque hanging, the south one reads 'Land of Civil and Military Eminence', and the north one reads 'Sound Heard in Heaven'. The sound of the morning bell and evening drum is heard far and wide. 2️⃣Nearby good hotels: ①Novotel on Bell Tower ②Mirror River Star: 50 meters east of the Drum Tower, the best location for photographing the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, visiting Muslim Street, and Beilin Museum in the Beilin District.
