Introduction

In 1934, a standard bell tower was built at the crossroads of East and West Street in Quanzhou, and the Quanzhou Bell Tower was completed the following year. The designer was a professional who studied in Europe, and the bell tower adopts European style, reaching a height of 13.8 meters. The Quanzhou Bell Tower, along with the East and West Towers and the Qiao Tower, become unique landscapes of the ancient city, attracting tourists from both at home and abroad. Today, the mechanical clock of the bell tower has been replaced by a quartz clock, and holiday lights have been added. Under the night sky, the bell tower emits a dazzling light, making it even more spectacular.
