Beijing Drum Tower | Would You Travel to a City for a Song?

【You Gotta Visit Drum Tower at Least Once】 ✨ Stand under the Bus 107 stop sign immortalized in Zhao Lei's song ✨ Watch buses glide past red walls and green trees ✨ Take a bite of candied hawthorn and be a "sunbathing passerby" for half a day 【More Captivating Than the Lyrics】 ✅ Starting point of Beijing's central axis, guarding 700 years of history ✅ Authentic hutong vibes of old Beijing at its most relaxed ✅ Red wall photos + nostalgic chimes of bells/drums = perfect ceremonial feels 【Practical Guide】 📍 Direct access from Exit A2 of Shichahai Station (Line 8) 🆓 Free to photograph exterior (tickets only needed for tower ascent) 📸 Must-shoot: Bus 107 sign + candied hawthorn + red wall light/shadow play ⏳ Best at dusk – golden hour makes magic shots!
