The festive decoration still has a strong flavor of the New Year. The red couplet "Fu Lai" in front of the door of Zhonggu Yinshi, the windmill, and the lanterns with the word "Fu" on the branches 🏮; the round windows, colorful dragons 🐉, and red lanterns in the store are all suitable scenes for taking photos and checking in 📸. For tea breaks, I recommend Gu Gu Sheng Feng and 🎍Ji Ji Gao Sheng, which are 🍰 mousse cakes in the shape of stone lions and bamboos. The unique shape implies auspiciousness. For drinks, I recommend 🥤Gu Lou Hong Shan Hawthorn Lemon Drink, which is the signature drink in the store. 👉There are no cultural and creative stores or coffee shops in the clock tower 🎫Tickets: Bell Tower and Drum Tower combined ticket 30r ‼ ️Special Tip: The two exhibitions on the first floor below the Bell Tower and Drum Tower are closed on Mondays.
