The Drum Tower is located in the center of Zhongwei City. It was named Wenchang Pavilion in the early Qing Dynasty and was built in the fourth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1631). In the 22nd year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1817), the temple was accidentally burned down during the temple fair on July 14, leaving only the foundation site. In the eleventh year of Daoguang (1831), Ai Chunnian, the magistrate of the county, led the history of the Dian Shi, Shen Yuan, and the local gentry to donate money to rebuild it, and it was completed the next year.

In 1955, special funds were allocated to repair the brickwork of the Drum Tower; in 1988, 1992, and 1997, the original Zhongwei County allocated special funds for decoration and painting three times, so that the Drum Tower stood tall in the urban area with a new look.

The base of the Drum Tower is rectangular, 224 meters long from north to south and 1665 meters wide from east to west. In the middle of the base is a "ten"-shaped door opening, which leads to the streets on all sides. The door opening is 3.75 meters high, with a dome in the middle, and there is a gossip caisson in the middle. Around the gossip map are hanging wooden statues of the Eight Immortals, and four corners are embedded with stone dragon heads, facing each other proudly. There are plaques on the gate towers on all sides of the base, which reflect the geographical shape of Zhongwei according to their orientation. Its east is called "Locking Bronze", the south is called "Dianzhi Xiangyan", the west is called "Shuangyisha Mountain", and the north plaque was originally "Controlling Border Barbarians". When it was repaired in 1984, it was changed to "control the frontier" in accordance with the party's ethnic policy and the principle of cultural relics maintenance.

The Drum Tower is 23 meters high and 30 meters high. The double building has three floors. It is a pavilion building with a square base and an arch hole. In the middle of the base is the main building with triple eaves and a cross-shaped gable top, with 3 bays on each side, 3 floors and 3 eaves, each floor has 12 corners, and the upper floor has viewing corridors on all sides. There are 4 small accompanying buildings built around the foundation, the inner walls of which are respectively engraved with the background, time, process and related matters of the beginning and reconstruction of the Drum Tower. There are 6 black pottery balls erected in the middle of the roof, surrounded by dragons, forming a picture of a group of dragons playing with beads, but from different angles, they are all two dragons playing with beads.

The original statues on each floor were demolished in 1951. In October 1992, in the spirit of restoring the original appearance of cultural relics, the former Zhongwei County Cultural Relics Management Office raised funds to restore them after obtaining the consent of relevant departments. The upper layer is made of Kuixing, the middle layer is made of Wenchang, and the lower layer is surrounded by Lei Zu, Fire Emperor Zhenjun and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Strolling in Zhongwei, small town scenery Walking on the street, Teresa Teng's song "Welcome to the small town" always echoes in my mind. The old town of Zhongwei is very small, and you can basically walk around it. The recommended scenic spot is the Gaomiao, but there are still many things to see in the clean, hygienic and green onion cages. The Drum Tower is located at the intersection of the center. Although you can't climb it, it's good to see the night view at night [leisurely].
