Drum Tower

Shaanxi


Yulin's drum tower was first erected in 1380 and destroyed several times (the current tower dates to the early-20th century). With several restaurants and antique shops, the whole street is a nice place to wander, especially at night, when it’s lit by lanterns and the Drum Tower and South Gate (南门; Nánmén) and are illuminated.
