The beautiful Xiangyun Bell and Drum Tower, Yunnan is full of ancient buildings

👍🏻Recommended reason: I highly recommend visiting Xiangyun and Binchuan Zhou City! Especially the ancient city Bell and Drum Tower in Xiangyun, which was rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty. At around 7 pm, the sun sets in the west, and the clouds are dyed with brilliant colors, reflecting on the Bell and Drum Tower. It is really beautiful, and I feel that this scenery is worthy of the name "Xiangyun". Next to the Drum Tower are streets and old houses full of a sense of age, as well as bustling locals. There are not too many tourists, and the place is full of life. 🗺Attraction introduction: 🏯Xiangyun Bell and Drum Tower is built at the intersection of the center of Xiangyun Ancient City. The blue building with a colorful glazed tile roof is very beautiful. It is a landmark building in this area, carrying the local history and culture. Standing in front of it, you can almost touch the traces of time. 🚗Attraction transportation: It is 57 km from Dali City, and you can easily reach it by car or high-speed train. If you go to the Bell Tower from the airport, you can also take Metro Line 14 and transfer to Line 2, which takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes and costs 8 yuan. From the Bell Tower to the Drum Tower, you can walk through the underpass, which takes 5 minutes. 🗺Travel route: You can reach it smoothly by navigating to "Xiangyun Bell and Drum Tower". The ancient city centered on the Bell and Drum Tower is very suitable for strolling. Spend more than an hour slowly feeling the tranquility and beauty here. You can also go to the Bell Tower Sunrise Viewing Platform (open at 7:30 in Kaiyuan Mall) to watch the sunrise. Don't miss the morning bell ceremony at the Drum Tower at 8 am. This limited edition is more shocking than the regular performance. 🍱Food recommendation: Be sure to try the local specialties, such as rice noodles, which are smooth in texture, with delicious soup and rich condiments, and are very satisfying; there are also cold chicken rice noodles, which are sour and spicy, with tender chicken and chewy rice noodles, full of local flavor. 💰Cost: The ticket is a joint ticket of 65 yuan, including 30 yuan for the Bell Tower and 35 yuan for the Drum Tower. 📌Other tips: When passing through the Bell and Drum Tower, be sure to pay attention to vehicles in all directions, safety first. During the tour, don't forget to bring your camera. With such beautiful scenery, you can take a blockbuster photo with a snap.
