Beijing Gulou Night View Guide Here

Beijing's Gulou Tower is located outside the Meridian Gate on the northern end of Ditan Avenue. It faces south and is a heavy-rippled three-drop water wooden structure building. Together with its allied brother, the Bell Tower, it served as the time-telling platform for ancient cities during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The two towers are arranged side by side, and they are generally known as 'Bell and Drum Towers'. With its magnificent and imposing appearance, it showcases the unparalleled technical level and timeless artistic value, fully reflecting the wisdom and strength of the ancient working people.

Entering the Gulou Tower, you are immediately immersed in the profound sense of history. The weathered red walls have been sculpted by centuries of wind and rain. Gulou Hutong is bustling with people during the day and glittering with neon lights at night. There is a large square between the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, where you can fully experience the different feelings brought by these two ancient buildings. The Bell Tower looks particularly solemn under the night lights, while the Drum Tower appears especially magnificent under the dark night.

Beijing's Gulou Street is ancient and profound, with four-cornered and eight-cornered hutongs distributed on both sides, which can directly reach Shichahai and Niangjiajie. There are many old Beijing brands and various old Beijing snacks there. Now, Gulou Street is gradually permeated with fashionable atmosphere, and the fusion of classical and modern makes Gulou Street rejuvenate with new vitality.
