Fascinating (Fifteen) - Tianjin Drum Tower
Green brick and tile houses, green tiles and red pillars, carved beams and painted buildings, this is the Drum Tower, the center of the old city of Tianjin.
Standing in the middle of this noisy and quiet square, looking at it that is 'out of place' yet 'goes with the flow', I can't help but think of Zhao Lei's 'Drum Tower': 'I am a silent passerby leaning against the wall basking in the sun, if I am a bit tired, let me wake up here alone. I stand on top of the Drum Tower, all the prosperity has nothing to do with me. This is a crowded place, but I am very ordinary...'
The Drum Tower is not tall, not majestic, not gorgeous, but, since the Yongle era, it has embarked on a journey of guarding, until now. The changes of the times have long eliminated its function, it is more like a symbol of memory, inheriting the past and ushering in the future, freezing history, and following the future.
Things in the 'Jin' city, it is and it is not.
The 'Jin' city in the story is a story and not a story.
Looking at the 'Jin' city, you, the fifteenth stop in Tianjin, have to come to the Drum Tower again, don't you?

Ctrip's service is good. Reasonable. The light will be too general. The family regrets taking a thigh.
The light will be great. It belongs to the crooked, I didn't know that there was this light meeting, only the hotel booked here, so I came to see it, it was an unexpected joy.
I feel that the lamp is not exquisite, the good thing is that there is a more interesting guessing lamp riddles.
Good, worth recommending
