It's impossible not to appreciate the wonderful structural design of Nanjing Drum Tower, a popular historic tower that has managed to withstand the test of time.
Nanjing Drum Tower is a great place to begin exploring Gulou. This historic construction comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other attractions like Temple of Confucius, Nanjing Presidential Palace, and Xuanwu Lake Park to get a complete picture of what the area has to offer.
