小南门警钟楼, Fire alarm bell tower in Huangpu District, China.

The six-story steel and concrete tower, constructed in 1909, rises 35.2 meters high with four corner columns supporting multiple observation platforms.

During the 1911 Shanghai Revolution, the tower served as a command center and signaled the start of the uprising against the Qing government.

The Bell Tower represents early 20th century Chinese architectural innovation, combining traditional fire warning systems with modern construction techniques.

Located at 581 Zhonghua Road, the structure features a steel staircase leading to observation platforms offering views across the district.

The tower contains the first dedicated fire alarm system built specifically for Shanghai Chinese community in the early 1900s.
