Ningbo Drum Tower

The Drum Tower, which stands in the city center, is very eye-catching and has a feeling of crossing. A glance at the commercial building and an ancient building, forms a sharp contrast. From the main entrance of the Drum Tower, there are many distinctive shops, there are food and sale, eating and drinking shopping. There are also special buildings, you can have a chance to come and see, it is a good choice.

Today Saturday, I joined a group with a few old classmates to check in at a specialty restaurant on Gulou Street. The steak in this store tastes good, like a wave.

The foundation of Haishu Building is the south gate of the Zicheng built in the first year of Tang Changqing (821 AD), which has been rising and falling several times and changed its name several times. In the fifth generation, it was called "Wang Naval Gate (Building), Song was "Fengguo Army Gate (Building). In the Yuan Dynasty, it was ordered to demolish the city and destroy the city nationwide.
