Gulou, Beijing, China - 24th January 2015

By: goomymia

Dear mum,

Here I arrived at Gulou, or the Drum Tower. It is a really red building. Gulou was originally built in the 1270s by the Yuan Dynasty during the reign of Kublai Khan. Relocated and reconstructed in the 1420s by the Ming Dynasty. Move a little bit to the north it's Zhonglou, or Bell Tower. Smaller than Gulou and the basic color of it is grey. Sorry mum we are walking in a rush to join the pub quiz near by, gonna be late!

Talk to you soon
GiGi
