The Bell and Drum Tower

 
 Both the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower are located in the center of the city. Historically a bell was struck at dawn from the Bell Tower and a drum was beat at sunset.

Here is the Bell Tower which is now surrounded by a huge roundabout. This is a huge intersection both above ground and underground as there's a gigantic pedestrian underpass here too. It also has access to get to the Bell Tower.

 
And of course there's a McDonald's not so far. Notice the store called Mona Lisa behind it.

 
This is the Drum Tower lit up at night. The Chinese really know how to give a good night view.
 

 

And a glimpse of the Bell Tower by night.
