I stayed near the train station at night and took the subway to the museum in the morning. The tulips in the square in front of the museum were in full bloom. After the tour, I took the subway to the Old Bund, and then rode a bicycle to the Drum Tower, City God Temple and Tianfeng Pagoda to check in. Ningbo's "Xiaoliu" electric bikes were well received. They not only had a windshield but also gloves, which was very user-friendly in this cold season. On the way to Tianyi Pavilion, we passed Yuehu Park. There was a clear blue lake, rippling boats, and plum blossoms that had already bloomed. It was just the beginning of spring, and the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River was so beautiful! ………… 📍Ningbo Museum 🆓 (⚠️ Make an appointment in advance｜Metro Line 3 Yinzhou District Government Station) The venue architecture won the Pritzker Prize!

Which place is famous for its collection of books? Of course, it's Tianyi Pavilion. Which place has elegant gentlemen? Of course, it's Jiangnan. If you are lucky enough to visit Ningbo, you must visit Tianyi Pavilion and Drum Tower. Jiangnan gardens are quiet yet lively, just like the books in the pavilion. Although they sit quietly in the pavilion, they contain a wealth of knowledge. The Drum Tower is certainly famous, but the shopping street inside is not worth mentioning. It's too commercialized and there's nothing interesting to see. Disappointing!

In the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Changqing period (821 AD), the governor Han Cha moved the state capital from Xiaoxi Town to the mouth of the Sanjiang River, historically known as Zicheng. The south gate of Zicheng, now the Drum Tower, is a symbol of Ningbo's official establishment as a state capital and a city. It is also the only remaining ancient city tower in Ningbo and is now a key national cultural heritage site. In the old days, the Drum Tower had a water clock and a drum for timekeeping. The drum was beaten regularly to mark the time, and during wars, it was used for scouting and lookout. In the eighth year of the Northern Song Dynasty's Qingli period (1048 AD), the 27-year-old Wang Anshi came to Yinxian County as the county magistrate. That year, he climbed the Drum Tower numerous times, looking down upon the people and pondering the future of the nation's fate, writing 'The Inscription of the New Water Clock,' expressing his desire to push forward reforms with the 'unhindered and prompt' pace of the water clock; and to govern Yinxian County with the diligent spirit of timekeeping. Legend has it that Prince Kang, Zhao Gou, hid in the Ningbo Drum Tower to escape the pursuit of the Jin soldiers. After becoming Emperor Gaozong of Song, he issued an edict to posthumously honor the Drum Tower as the 'Fengguo Army Tower Divine Shrine.' During the Ming Dynasty's Wanli period, the Drum Tower was destroyed by a great fire. In the thirteenth year of the Ming Dynasty's Wanli period (1585 AD), the Drum Tower was rebuilt. Drawing on the allusion 'the sea is calm and the waves are peaceful, the vast ocean turns to dawn,' it was named Haishu Tower. Through the vicissitudes of time, the ancient city has disappeared without a trace, leaving only this Drum Tower. Later, the Zhejiang Educational Administration and two ancient stone archways were restored, as well as the remnants of the city wall and stone steles detailing the historical changes of Zicheng. Today's Drum Tower was built during the Qing Dynasty, with a Western-style bell tower added during the Republic of China period above the city tower. The lower part is in the traditional Chinese city tower style, with a three-tiered hip-and-gable roof and flying eaves at the corners. The bell tower above, however, is in the Roman style. The combination of Chinese and Western elements makes it unique. The top of the Drum Tower hangs a large copper bell. It was originally cast for the purpose of sounding fire alarms. In the event of a fire, the copper bell would ring. Different numbers of bell strikes represented different fire areas. During the Anti-Japanese War, the copper bell was also used for air raid drills and military alarms. The Drum Tower pedestrian street integrates culture and commerce, combining shopping and leisure. It not only retains the traditional commercial street style of Ningbo but also has a strong historical and cultural texture, making it one of Ningbo's popular recreational destinations. The buildings in this area, with their small green tiles and double-pitched roofs, firewalls with horse head walls, and various intricate exterior wood decorations, fully reflect the characteristics of Ningbo's southern water town. 📍Detailed address: No. 2 Gongyuan Road, Haishu District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Ticket price: Free ⏳Time reference: 1 hour

|Zhejiang Ningbo.🥁Drum Tower: Originally named Qiao Tower, it means the watchtower on the city gate. At the beginning of the city construction, Qiao Tower must be built, which is a legacy of the Han Dynasty. There is usually a huge bell hanging in the Qiao Tower, which is struck at dawn and dusk, 'The tower on the gate is called Qiao'. In ancient times, there were two types of bell and drum towers, one built in the palace and the other in the city center, mostly two-story buildings. Historically, the earliest bell and drum towers started from the Sui Dynasty, and no new bell and drum towers were built in the Ming Dynasty palace. The history of Ningbo City began with the first brick of the Drum Tower. 🕙Clepsydra: There is usually a clepsydra on the Qiao Tower, which the ancients used to keep time. Ningbo's Drum Tower once had a clepsydra, a bronze clepsydra from the Northern Song Dynasty, which is a rare large timer in the world for a thousand years. 🏫Wang Anshi and Qiao Tower: During the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi, the county magistrate of Yin County, took office on horseback and wrote 'New Clepsydra Inscription', using the clepsydra as a metaphor to express his determination to handle political affairs like the clepsydra 'not to be prickly or late', and to manage politics with the spirit of being diligent in reporting time with the clepsydra. 🛎️Self-striking Bell: Thousands of years have passed, and the ancient city of the past has long been lost. The only remaining Drum Tower has become a symbol of Ningbo's official establishment of the state and the city in history. On the top floor of the Drum Tower, you can see Ningbo's unique self-striking bell and the large bronze bell hanging below. The bronze bell was made by the Ningbo Police Department during the Republic of China and was later used for fire alarms. 🏠Drum Tower Pedestrian Street: Today, the Drum Tower and the nearby Gongyuan Road have become the gathering and dispersing places for major cultural activities in Ningbo. The Zhejiang Supervisory Office, the two ancient stone archways at the entrances at the east and west ends, and the city wall ruins, the stele of the history of the sub-city, etc. have been restored. 🍔Food Recommendation: Oil Zanzi, similar to fried dough twists, but smaller and crispier.

Some time ago, I went to Ningbo, Zhejiang Province to travel, and I saw such a special building in the center of Ningbo. In general, this is a Chinese classical building, but when you look closely, there is a western-style attic on the roof that has to attract attention. Originally, this special building of "Chinese and Western" is the Drum Tower of Ningbo. Although the Drum Tower is located in major cities in China, the famous city Drum Tower includes the Drum Tower in Beijing, the Drum Tower in Nanjing, the Drum Tower in Xi'an, etc. However, I am really the first time I saw the style of the City Drum Tower in Ningbo. It is said that the drum tower of Ningbo was built in the first year of Tang Changqing. It has a history of more than a thousand years. It is the symbol of officially establishing the state and establishing the city in the history of Ningbo. Ningbo Drum Tower is the only remaining ancient city building site in Ningbo, and it is also one of the ancient buildings protected by national cultural relics. In the 19th year of the Republic of China, the Firefighting Federation invited the municipal government to rent all the houses as clubhouses. In the same year, they built a cement steel square square observatory and an alarm clock in the middle of the three-storey wooden structure of the Drum Tower. Set up a standard clock, four sides, one for the convenience of the public time, but also can report fire. Yu, then the Drum Tower in Ningbo has become a special look of the "Chinese-Western combination". It is also the most beautiful city of China, and it has become one of the most famous cities in Ningbo. Every visitor who came to Ningbo to visit the Drum Tower was impressed and unforgettable.

The road that I have traveled, spends the rest of my life to remember Drum Tower is the only remaining ancient city ruins in Ningbo above three layers to create a beautiful shape of the cornice, the top is built with a rectangular clock tower visible on all sides, top Ningbo's unique big self-sounding bell. The huge clock face, the eye-catching pointer, and the majestic appearance of the big self-clocking bell can be seen from a long distance. There was a huge bronze bell hanging under the ringing bell, which slammed the bronze bell, and the bell was loud and loud.

In the minds of most Ningbo people, the Drum Tower is synonymous with food street and commercial street. Especially when it was a child, I dont know how many times I took my fathers hand and jumped here. In recent years, commercial squares have been opened at the entrance of Ningbo people. As time went on, everyones enthusiasm for the Drum Tower gradually dropped, and even many people never visited it once a year. You know, the Drum Tower used to be one of the most prosperous places in Ningbo.
