Gulou, Beijing, China - 9th August 2014
By: goomymia
The red building behind me is Gulou, also called Drum Tower in English :-)
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.

It was a really nice day!
We enjoyed the sunshine and went for a walk at Shichahai area.
There were many lovely boats in lake :-)
Mia told me Shichahai also has a nickname which is Haizi.
That's interesting, I know Kongzi, Laozi, Suizi..so many zi in China :-)
