Lonely Planet review for Southeast Watchtower

This Ming-era watchtower has 144 archer windows but is also notable for the ‘I was here’ graffiti left by iternational troops during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. On the tower’s 2nd floor there are historical exhibits about Chongwen district. With the admission ticket, you’re allowed to walk the 100m stretch of old city wall attached to the tower.
