The tour guide will pick you up from your hotel at Beijing downtown area, then drive to Drum Tower, a symbol of Beijing's rich heritage. Immerse yourself in the history and architectural splendor of this ancient structure as we witness the mesmerizing views of the cityscape from its elevated position.

Originally called the Tower of Orderly Administration (Qizhenglou), it underwent renovations during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In 1420, during the reign of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming dynasty, the tower was rebuilt to the east of its original location. Then, in 1800, during the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor of the Qing dynasty, the building underwent large-scale renovations. Today, the Drum Tower is a popular tourist attraction in Beijing, known for its impressive architecture and cultural significance.
