Introduction
The Drum Tower is located east of Wushan in Hangzhou, with Shenwu Guixiang to the south, Dajing Lane to the north, Zhonghe Road to the east, and Wugong Mountain to the west. It was built in the Southern Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period, about 1400 years ago, and was once a palace called "Fulin Hall" for the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was commonly known as the Drum Tower by the local people. It was demolished in the 1960s and rebuilt in 2003. The huge Dongyang woodcarvings "Qingming Shanghe Tu" and "Drum Tower Scenic Picture" are installed above the exhibition hall. The drum on the second floor has a diameter of two meters, and the century-old peace bell is located on the observation deck, where tourists can play the drum and ring the bell to enhance their travel experience and evoke a sense of nostalgia.
