Ningbo Drum Tower, Ming Dynasty watchtower in Haishu District, Ningbo, China
The Ningbo Drum Tower stands 27 meters tall and features wooden carvings that showcase traditional Chinese architectural elements from floor to ceiling.
Built in 821 during the Tang Dynasty, the tower served as a timekeeping center where drums signaled different periods of the day for local residents.
The tower remains central to Ningbo's identity, with exhibitions inside the structure displaying artifacts that represent local traditions and customs.
Located next to lines 1 and 2 of the Drum Tower metro station, the site connects visitors to surrounding markets and street food establishments.
From the top level, visitors can observe the contrast between modern Ningbo's urban development and traditional architecture in the Haishu District.
