Whether in ancient or modern, the Bell and Drum Tower, called Zhenyuan Tower, is in the center of Zhangye Ancient City. In fact, in format, Zhenyuan Building and many other cities I have seen the Bell and Drum Tower are similar, three-story four-corner wooden tower-shaped buildings are built on a brick-packed high platform, the base has "ten" hole in the southeast and northwest four streets linked. On one side of the base there is a slope to the main building of the Bell and Drum Tower, but the gate is closed during the day and night when I pass by. However, Zhenyuan Building is the largest existing drum tower in the Hexi Corridor.
Living near Zhangye High-speed Railway Station, walking to the Drum Tower after dinner, is: on the road, I accidentally found a large square, Wanshou Temple and Wanshou Temple Tower, and watched the red song performance in the square. I went to Zhangye Park the next morning. The air was fresh. I ate dumpling noodles in the store next to the park. It tasted good, but it was a bit salty, a good experience.
