Ningxia Hotel Beijing is quite near the Drum and Bell towers, one of Beijing’s major tourist attractions that first-time visitors rarely failed to visit.
Built almost 700 years, Drum and Bell towers lie at the heart of old Beijing’s time telling service to the public.
The twin towers stand up to 50 meters so the sound can travel as far as 20 kilometers. And with help of the two towers, old Beijingers attended their fields, conducted their business, and lived their daily lives.
Today, Drum and Bell towers don’t tell time anymore. Yet, they still attract the public’s curiosity.
Every day, at the Drum Tower, impressive drum performances were staged. So be sure to stay and enjoy.
Also, come to the Bell Tower to see the massive bell that is 5.5 meters in height and weighs almost 60 tons.
