Tianjin Drum Tower, Drum tower in Nankai District, China.

The Drum Tower rises three stories high with four arched doorways at its base, connecting the main streets that intersect at the structure.

The construction of Tianjin Drum Tower occurred during the city's fortification period, which began in 1404 and transformed earthen walls into brick fortifications.

The first floor houses sacred spaces dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Heavenly Queen Mother, and historical figures Guan Yu and Yue Fei.

Visitors can reach the tower by taking line 2 of the metro to Gulou station or using one of twelve bus routes that stop at the Drum Tower.

The second floor contains the Bell King of Tianjin, a three-hundred-kilogram iron bell adorned with dragon-shaped handles and intricate relief patterns.
