Cloudscape Splendor: The Morning Bell and Evening Drum of Kui Xing Tower

Ascending the ancient stone steps of the old town, Kui Xing Tower gradually emerges through the morning mist. Its structure, a harmonious blend of vermilion and gray tiles, resembles a majestic ink painting. From the tower's heights, one can overlook the rooftops of the entire ancient town, shimmering with a soft golden hue under the morning light, while distant mountains and seas of clouds create a picturesque harmony. Inside the tower, intricate wooden carvings adorn the space, with celestial patterns and poetic inscriptions etched into the eaves, evoking the prosperous literary era of the past. Leaning against the railing and gazing afar, the gentle breeze carries the sound of bells and birdsong, instantly dissolving the clamor of the mundane world into fleeting clouds. Kui Xing Tower is not merely a scenic spot but a spiritual haven, reminding travelers to seek wisdom and tranquility. As the setting sun paints the horizon in tender shades of orange and red, I feel the profound pulse of the ancient town and the tender embrace of time.
