Watch for pickpockets and also hawkers trying to sell cheap terra-cotta ripoffs. Then again, watch the sellers selling the more expensive version saying that only there’s won’t fall apart and is better quality. Every man for himself here!.

Highly decorated and ornate drum tower. Periodically has live shows inside. Has an interesting display of furniture inside and a line of drums surrounding the exterior with descriptive signs in English detailing the various Chinese seasons of the year. Has a good view of the Muslim Quarter. Worth a visit.

I am not sure why its called Drum Tower Square when its closer to the Bell Tower, but it gives a good view of the Bell Tower. There is plenty or shops in the area. There isn't anything particularly historical or special about this square, but its a good gather place for people.
They had a very small Christmas set up there, where they had some characters and events happening when we were there.

Huge watch tower looks like a huge pagoda. Most enchanting at night, completely iluminated, outstanding view. Situated at the edge of the moslem quarter and the old and crowded pedestrian street which worths itself a few hours stroll. Two minutes from the ancient muslim mosque.

Thank goodness these sites have not been destroyed. So evocative of ancient China. The streets around are fascinating too with their Muslim streets food.

It was a cold but sunny day. We had a brisk walk around the tower. Great views of the Old City and our guide MaYa provided great information about the history of the Tower Square.

Well worth the time and effort it's in the center of town and is simply beautiful at night. It cost about 10 USD to get in the Drums are impressive, to say the least, and the detail of the furniture is wonderful. You can easily get photos from all angles and are allowed to go up to the 3rd floor and walk around the balcony. Very worth the time.

Looked amazing all lit up at night. Unfortunately it was closed by the time we got there. Close to the Bell Tower and Muslim Street which is not to be missed.

If you have seen the Drum Tower in Beijin - no need to specially go there. If not - it worths the detour.

what exactly is the "Drum Tower" and Bell Tower? Is it necessary to have a guide for interpretation or is this a site one can do on your own? thanks for the reply.

The Drum Tower and the Bell Tower are large pagodas which are particularly spectacular at night. You can also visit the interiors which are sort of small museums. The Drum Tower has a drumming exhibitiion I think once a day (maybe twice). I don't think you'd need a guide, and they are quite close to each other. Also not a long walk from the city wall which is worth seeing. They are in the center of the old walled city area and are adjacent to the lively Muslim quarter. Definitely worth going to!
