The world's number one Drum Tower

The Sanjiang Drum Tower, located on Moon Street in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Guangxi, was built in November 2002 by a team of local famous Dong ethnic craftsmen led by Yang Siyu. It integrates multiple functions such as culture, sightseeing, and tourism. The Sanjiang Drum Tower is 42.6 meters high, with 60 pillars touching the ground, covering an area of 600 square meters. The Drum Tower has 27 tiers of tile eaves. Except for the top two tiers, the remaining 25 tiers of tiles are evenly spaced and taper with each layer, giving the tower a pyramid shape and a dignified and stable appearance. Each tier of eaves is elegantly upturned, and the exquisite carvings and bright eave board paintings contrast sharply with the massive and rugged body of the tower. Inside the tower, the diameter of each of the four fir pillars exceeds 70 centimeters, and all are over a hundred years old, which is unique in the history of Drum Tower construction. From the viewing platform of the Drum Tower, you can take in the panoramic view of Sanjiang. The Drum Tower is the symbol and soul of Dong villages. The Sanjiang Drum Tower is the premier Drum Tower of Dongxiang and is known as the 'world's number one Drum Tower.' It is an attraction of the Chinese National 4A scenic area, the Sanjiang Dong Village Scenic Area in China.
