Drum Tower

鼓楼堂位于清河坊街景区内，教堂前面有1个小广场，游人可以在长凳上休息，不少妹纸在教堂前搔首弄姿凹造型，对面是鼓楼，人来人往很是热闹。

#Drum Tower# This is the first time I have come to the Drum Tower in Hangzhou. I walked to the Drum Tower city wall and found a church next to it. The exterior wall of the church looks relatively new and the visual sense is particularly good. It was a good weather, with blue sky and white clouds, gold ginkgo leaves, although the mobile phone used, the shooting effect of the church building was also very good, I liked it. After a shot, I looked at the introduction carefully. This is a Christian church. Originally located at the foot of Bushi Lane 6 at the southeast foot of Wushan, south of Hangzhou City, it was later moved here, no wonder it was very new. But the creation of the old church was in 1885, and it was built by the Northern Presbyterian Church of the United States. During the period, it was also a few sinking and floating, and there was a big change. By 1998, the old church was demolished and rebuilt easily because of the city's elevated construction. The new church has 1,200 standard seats and all functions. Sunday worship time: first: 7 to 8:30, second: 9 to 10:30, third: 19 to 20:30.

Many cities I have been to feel that there will be a Drum Tower. The Drum Tower in Hangzhou is where I grew up. Speaking of living in the Drum Tower, I have never been to take pictures. There are many people taking pictures under the city building of the Drum Tower. This place is going to Hefang Street to pass by. Walking along the surrounding merchants can reach the pedestrian street, and the traffic is relatively convenient.

Close to the Drum Tower, the Southern Song Dynasty study, Hangzhou Jiuqiang, Datong Lane, just at the entrance of Zhongshan Middle Road and Hefang Street. You can visit inside, there are ten rows of seats, a small stage is equipped with piano, sound equipment, and there is a hymn collection on the seats. The church staff is very enthusiastic to introduce the church and teachings to visitors.

It is said that it is a very famous attraction, but we don't know, just pass by and take a look. Probably because it is next to the Drum Tower, it is called the Drum Tower Hall. The building is very simple, not like the Gothic or what kind of building the general Christian Church in the impression, so many gorgeous decorations. There are quite a lot of churchgoers and there seems to be a lot of activity.
